Page 14: Appropriate Use
Purpose This Miele cleaning machine can be used to clean, rinse and chemic- ally disinfect breathing apparatus for professional use that can be re- processed by machine, such as air regulators, breathing masks and compressed air unit carrier frames.
Page 15: Contraindications
Appropriate use For further areas of application or additional programmes, please con- tact Miele Customer Service. Some cleaning machines feature active drying. Depending on the ap- plication in question, complete (internal) drying of the load items must be ensured after reprocessing without active drying.
Page 16: User Profiles
User profiles Daily operators For day-to-day use, operators must be instructed on the basic func- tions and how to load the machine and must also be trained regularly. You need to know how to reprocess personal protective equipment such as air regulators, breathing masks and compressed air unit car- rier frames.

Page 38: Water Hardness
Water hardness Water softening In order to achieve excellent cleaning results, the machine requires a supply of soft water with a low calcium content. Hard mains water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on the load items and on the wash cabinet walls.
Page 39 Water hardness Test strip Water hardness Settings on the display 4 green zones < 3 °dH 3 °dH or lower 1 red zone > 4–7 °dH 7 °dH 2 red zones > 7–14 °dH 14 °dH 3 red zones > 14–21 °dH 21 °dH 4 red zones > 21 °dH *) Contact your local water supplier, enquire about the degree of hardness and set this on the display.

Page 41: Reactivation Salt
Water hardness Reactivation salt The water softener must be reactivated at regular intervals. Special re- activation salt is required for this. Reactivation is carried out automat- ically during a programme sequence. If the water hardness is consistently less than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °dH), salt is not required for the water softener.
Page 42 Water hardness  Never fill the container with water. The container could overflow when filled with salt. Add salt into the container until the funnel is full but still closes eas-  ily. Do not add any more than 2 kg of salt. As the salt container is being filled, displaced water (brine) may run out.

(if available). Miele offers suitable load carriers for all areas of application defined in  “Appropriate use”, such as mobile units, baskets, modules, inserts and special irrigation connectors. Contact Miele for more information.
Page 46: Height-Adjustable Upper Baskets
Load carrier Height-adjustable upper baskets Height-adjustable upper baskets can be adjusted between 3 positions with 3 cm between each position to accommodate load items of dif- ferent heights. To adjust the height, the brackets with rollers on the side of the upper basket and the water connector at the back of the basket have to be moved.
Page 47 Load carrier Move the roller brackets on both sides to the centre position and  screw them tight. Place the stainless steel plate over the openings in the water inlet  pipe so that one of the outer openings is covered. Screw the stain- less steel plate to the top or bottom with 2 screws.

Page 49: Areas Of Application
- Ferrous materials that can rust or corrode must not be introduced into the wash cabinet as load items or soiling. Suitable load carriers and irrigation connectors as well as other ac- cessories are available from Miele.
Page 50: Preparing The Load Items
Areas of application Preparing the load items  Danger of explosion due to flammable gases. Flammable solvents with a flash point below 21 °C outgas and can generate a flammable mix of gases. Only place load items into the wash cabinet that are wetted with traces of solvents at most.
Page 51: Checks Before Starting A Programme
Areas of application Checks before starting a programme Carry out a visual check before starting every programme: - Are the load items correctly loaded and connected for cleaning? - Was the recommended loading template followed? - Have the pressure chambers for reprocessing air regulators, com- pressed air units or compressed air unit carrier frames been supplied with enough compressed air? - Are the spray arms clean and do they rotate freely?
Page 52: Air Regulators
Areas of application Air regulators APFD 200 A 101 A 151 Special inserts are required for reprocessing air regulators, e.g. the APFD 200 insert.

Page 55: Adding And Dispensing Chemical Agents
Observe the parameters specified by the relevant manufacturer for reprocessing the load items and adjust the programme if necessary. Consult the load item manufacturer or Miele Customer Service if necessary. Highly viscous (thick) process chemicals can affect the dispenser monitoring and lead to inaccurate data.
Page 56: Dispensing Systems
