Preparing the
load
Contaminated load items pose a health risk.
Contaminated load items can result in various hazards to the
health, which can lead to infections, poisoning, injuries and more
depending on the type of contamination.
When working with contaminated load items, ensure that all neces-
sary measures are taken to protect personnel, e.g. wearing protect-
ive gloves.
Hazard due to change in material.
Lasting contact with wash water can cause seal material to swell.
This will result in the seals losing their function.
Therefore, always close unused connections with protective caps
or blind covers.
Risk of corrosion damage.
Ferrous materials that can rust or corrode can cause corrosion on
the machine and the load items.
Do not introduce ferrous materials that can rust or corrode into the
wash cabinet as load items or soiling.
Only load items which have been declared by their manufacturer as
suitable for machine reprocessing may be processed. The manu-
facturer's specific reprocessing instructions must be observed.
Breathing equipment filters and disposable items may not be repro-
cessed.
- Take apart any items which can be dismantled according to the
manufacturer's instructions and process the individual parts separ-
ately from each other.
- Place small and light items in a small-part basket so that they do
not block the spray arms.
- Arrange the load items so that wash water can access all surfaces.
This ensures thorough and proper cleaning. Do not place load
items inside one another, as this impedes the cleaning process.
- Lumened load items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and ex-
ternally, with the wash water.
- The spray arms must not be blocked by load items which are too
tall or which hang down in their path.
- Nickel and chrome-plated load items and load items made of alu-
minium are not generally suitable for machine reprocessing. They
require special processing conditions.
