Laboratory Glassware (Lg) - Miele PG 8527 Operating Instructions Manual

Laboratory glassware (LG)

Wide-necked laboratory glassware, e.g.
beakers, wide-necked Erlenmeyer
flasks and Petri dishes, and cylindrical
shaped items e.g. test tubes, can be
cleaned and rinsed, internally and
externally, by the action of the rotating
spray arms. They can be arranged in
full, half and quarter inserts in an empty
mobile unit with spray arms.
Narrow-necked items e.g. narrow-
necked Erlenmeyer flasks, conical
flasks, measuring flasks and pipettes,
require mobile injector units or injector
modules.
The following instructions relate only to
basic preparation and loading of
glassware.
Loading the machine
– Petri dishes and similar should be
placed in the correct insert with the
soiled side facing the centre.
– Pipettes should be placed with the
tip facing downwards.
– Quarter inserts should be placed as
close to the middle of the unit as
possible.
– Glass items must not get in the way
of the door opening.
