
If the compressed air indicator for the insert for reprocessing air
regulators shows that the pressure is too low or medium-pressure
hoses of the air regulators have disconnected from the quick-release
couplings, the wash water can enter the air regulators. Particles may
also get into the air regulators and impair their function.
Check the air regulators for moisture and particles in accordance with
the information from the manufacturer.

Steam heating is permissible up to a pressure of 1000 kPa. This
corresponds to a water steam temperature of 180 °C.

Never clean the machine or near vicinity with a water hose or a
pressure washer.

There may be a risk of slipping if liquid is spilt on the floor depend-
ing on the type of flooring and footwear being worn. Keep the floor
dry where possible and take care to clean up any liquid spills straight
away. Take the necessary precautions when cleaning up hazardous
substances and hot liquids.

The machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity sup-
ply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
Quality assurance
The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards when reprocessing breathing apparatus and to
avoid damage to the loads being cleaned.

If it is necessary to interrupt a programme in exceptional circum-
stances, this may only be done by authorised personnel.

The standard of cleaning and disinfection must be routinely con-
firmed by the user. The process should be validated on a regular
basis, and checked against documented control results.

Make sure items being washed are suitable for machine repro-
cessing and are in good condition. Plastic items must be thermally
stable. Nickel plated items and aluminium items can be machine pro-
cessed using special procedures only.
Items containing iron, and soiling containing residual rust must not be
placed in the cabinet.

Chemical agents can, in certain circumstances, cause damage to
the machine. Always follow the recommendations of the chemical
agent manufacturer.
In case of damage or doubt about compatibility, please contact
Miele.

Abrasive substances must not be placed in the machine as they
could cause damage to the mechanical components of the water
supply. Any residues of abrasive substances on items to be washed
must be removed without trace before reprocessing in the machine.
