For day-to-day use, operators must be instructed on the basic func-
tions and how to load the cleaning machine and must also be trained
regularly. In addition, operators must be trained in line with the na-
tional requirements for reprocessing personal protective equipment,
such as air regulators and breathing masks.
Day-to-day work is carried out using the user level and in the Settings
 menu. The menu is freely accessible to all users.
Administration
More advanced tasks, e.g. interrupting or cancelling a programme,
require more detailed knowledge about the machine reprocessing of
personal protective equipment and the process chemicals used.
Alterations to the reprocessing process or adaptations to the cleaning
machine, e.g. to accessories used or on-site conditions, require addi-
tional specific knowledge of the machine.
Validation processes assume specialised knowledge of the machine
reprocessing of personal protective equipment, of the processes in-
volved and of applicable standards and legislation.
The Further settings menu incorporates all administrative processes
and settings. This is protected from unauthorised access by a PIN
code.

13
This machine complies with all statutory safety requirements. Inap-
propriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material
damage.
Read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time to
avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.
Keep these instructions in a safe place where they are accessible
to users at all times.
Correct application
 Use of the machine is only permitted for the applications expressly
approved in the operating instructions. Alterations or conversion of
the machine, or using it for purposes other than those for which it
was intended, are not permitted and could be dangerous.
The reprocessing procedures are only designed for air regulators and
breathing masks declared by the manufacturer as reprocessable. The
information provided by the manufacturer of the load items must be
observed.
 This machine is intended for indoor use only.
Risk of injury
Please pay attention to the following notes to avoid injury
 The machine may only be installed, commissioned, repaired and
maintained by the Miele Customer Service Department or a suitably
qualified service technician. A Miele service contract is recommended
to ensure full compliance with the normative and regulatory provi-
sions. Incorrect repairs can cause considerable danger to users.
 Do not install the machine in an area where there is any risk of ex-
plosion or of freezing conditions.
 Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear cut-resist-
ant protective gloves when transporting and setting up the machine.
 In order to reduce the risk of water damage, the area around the
machine should be limited to furniture and fittings that are designed
for use in commercial environments.
 If the machine is built under, it must only be installed under a con-
tinuous worktop run which is firmly secured to adjacent units to im-
prove stability.
 The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring system tested
by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the con-
sequences of an inadequate earthing system
(e.g. electric shock).
 A damaged or leaking machine could be dangerous and comprom-
ise your safety. Disconnect the machine from the mains immediately
and call the Miele Service Department.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 Label cleaning machines which have been taken out of operation
and secure them against being switched on again without authorisa-
tion. The cleaning machine may only be put back into operation once
it has been successfully repaired by the Miele Customer Service De-
partment or by an appropriately qualified specialist.
 Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly. Un-
trained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or its
controls.
 Only use process chemicals which have been approved by their
manufacturer for the relevant application. The manufacturer of the
process chemicals is liable for any negative influences on the material
of the load and the machine.
 Take care when handling chemical agents. These may contain irrit-
ant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the chemical agent manufacturer's safety instructions
and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
 The machine is designed for operation with water and recommen-
ded additive chemical agents only. Organic solvents and flammable
liquid agents must not be used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components
in the machine and cause liquids to leak out of it.
 The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.
 Take care not to inhale powder agents. Chemical agents can cause
chemical burns in the mouth and throat or lead to asphyxiation.
 Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control
panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn
off.
 Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the ma-
chine to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.
 When using this machine in the higher temperature ranges, be es-
pecially careful not to scald or burn yourself or come into contact with
irritant substances when opening the door. Where disinfecting agents
are used there is a danger of inhaling toxic fumes.
 Should personnel accidentally come into contact with toxic va-
pours or chemical agents, follow the emergency instructions given in
the manufacturer's safety data sheets.
 Allow baskets, modules, inserts and the load to cool down before
removing them. Empty any remaining water into the wash cabinet or
an on-site slops basin before removing items.
 Never clean the machine or near vicinity with a water hose or a
pressure washer.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 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 air regulators and breathing
masks and to avoid damage to the load items being cleaned.
 If it is necessary to interrupt a programme in exceptional circum-
stances, this may only be done by authorised personnel.
 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.
 Pre-treatments with cleaning or disinfecting agents can create
foam, as can certain types of soiling and chemical agents. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the cleaning and disinfection result.
 Processes must be set up such that foam cannot escape from the
wash cabinet. It would hinder the correct functioning of the machine.
 The process used must be monitored on a regular basis by the su-
pervisor to check foaming levels.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the machine and any accessories
used with it caused by chemical agents, soiling and any reaction
between the two please read the notes in “Chemical processes and
technology”.
 When using process chemicals, always consult the instructions is-
sued by individual manufacturers. Process chemicals must only be
used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to
avoid any material damage or the occurrence of very strong chemical
reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
 Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage
and disposal of chemical agents.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
 In critical applications where very stringent requirements have to
be met, it is strongly recommended that all the relevant factors for the
process, such as chemical agents, water quality etc. are discussed
with the Miele Application Technology specialists.
 Load carriers which hold the load items must be used only as in-
tended.
Lumened load items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and ex-
ternally, with the wash water.
 Place small and light items in a small-part basket so that they do
not block the spray arms.
 The amount of residual solvents and acids on items going into the
cabinet should be minimal.
There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash
point of below 21°C.
 Chlorous solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
placed in the cabinet.
 Ensure that solutions or steam containing chlorides or hydrochloric
acid do not come into contact with the stainless steel outer casing of
the machine in order to avoid any damage through corrosion.
 After any plumbing work the water pipework to the machine will
need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
 The gaps between a built-in machine and adjacent cabinetry must
not be filled e.g. with silicone sealant as this could compromise the
ventilation to the circulation pump.
 Follow the installation instructions in the operating and installation
instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions
17
Safety with children
 Children must be supervised in the vicinity of the machine. Do not
allow children to play with the machine. They could get locked inside
it.
 Children must not use the machine.
 Keep children away from chemical agents. These can cause burn-
ing in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Keep children away from the machine when the door is open. There
could still be residual chemical agent in the cabinet. Observe the
safety data sheets for the chemical agent and seek medical advice
immediately if a child has swallowed chemical agent or got it in the
eyes.
