This machine conforms to current
safety requirements. However,
inappropriate use can lead to
personal injury and property
damage. Read the operating
instructions carefully before using
this machine.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
non-observance of these Important
Safety Instructions.
Use
~This machine is designed for
commercial use and for specialized
applications only, as described in these
Operating Instructions. Do not use for
purposes other than those for which it
was designed, as this could be
dangerous. Miele is not responsible for
damages caused by improper use.
~The installation of this unit in non
stationary locations (e.g. ships) must be
performed by a qualified installer or
service agency in strict accordance
with national and local safety
regulations and standards.
Please pay attention to the following
notes to maintain safe procedures.
~The machine should be
commissioned and maintained only by
a Miele Service Technician. Repairs by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous.
~Do not install the machine in an area
where a danger of explosion or freezing
may be present.
~Be certain this appliance is properly
installed and grounded by an
authorized technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance,
continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If there is
any doubt, have the electrical system
checked by a qualified technician. The
manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage or injury
caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of
an effective grounding system
(e.g. electric shock).
~A damaged machine is dangerous.
Turn off the machine immediately at the
power switch and call the Miele Service
Department.
~Personnel operating the machine
should be trained regularly. Children
and untrained personnel must not be
allowed access to the machine or its
controls.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4

~Take care when handling liquids
such as detergents, neutralizing
agents, wetting agents and rinse aids.
These may contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients, acids or alkalis. Never use
any organic solvents, as the danger of
explosion exists. Wear protective
gloves and goggles. The
manufacturer’s safety conditions must
be observed at all times.
~The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
~Be careful when sorting items with
sharp pointed ends. Position them in
the machine so that you do not hurt
yourself or create a danger for others.
~When using this machine regard the
high temperatures and be especially
careful not to scald or burn yourself.
When opening the door bypassing the
electrical lock, a danger of burning,
scalding and corrosion exist. Let mobile
units, inserts and cleaned items cool
before touching them. Any water which
may remain in containers will be very
hot and must be emptied into the wash
cabinet.
~If you are exposed to toxic vapors or
processing chemicals, consult the
manufacturer's material safety data
sheets for emergency procedures.
~Always allow mobile units, modules,
inserts, and loads to cool before
removing. Be sure to empty any water
from concave items into the wash
cabinet before removing.
~After drying with the drying unit
open the door to allow the items and
inserts to cool.
~If the pre-heater has been
programmed to "Pre-heater standby",
be particularly careful of hot water and
steam when opening the door. Danger
of burning or scalding. The water inlet
pipe to the wash cabinet is located, as
viewed from the loading side,
underneath the basket runner on the
left hand side.
~Steam heating is permissible up to a
pressure of 145 psi. This corresponds
to a water steam temperature of 354°F
(179 °C).
~Never clean the machine near or
with a water or high pressure hose.
~Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by either removing the
fuse, unplugging the unit or manually
"tripping" the circuit breaker.
,Mount on non-combustible floors
only!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following points should be
observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards for critical labware
and to avoid damage to the loads
being cleaned.
~Only use process chemicals that are
approved by their manufacturer for the
application involved. Any negative
effects on labware and the washer itself
are the liability of the chemical
manufacturer.
~If toxic chemicals may be present in
the wash cabinet, beware of this risk
when interrupting a program and
opening the washer. The door seal and
steam condensor must always be
checked for soundness.
~Use only Miele approved cleaning
agents with this machine. Use of
unsuitable cleaning agents could
adversely affect the components of the
machine. Damages resulting from using
unsuitable cleaning agents are not
covered by the warranty.
~Pre-treating (e.g. with cleaning
agents), certain soiling and cleaning
agents with a chemical interaction, can
cause foam. For pre-treatment and/or
cleaning only use low-sudsing
detergents which have been approved
by Miele. Suds can have an adverse
effect on the operation of the machine.
~When a chemical additive is
recommended, the manufacturer of the
machine takes no responsibility for the
effect of the chemical on the items
being cleaned.
~The machine must only be operated
with water and the recommended
cleaning agents. Organic solvents must
not be used in the machine as there is
the danger, under certain
circumstances, of explosion and
damage to rubber and synthetic
materials. Follow the dosage
recommendations of the cleaning
agent’s manufacturer.
~In critical applications where very
high requirements have to be met, it is
strongly recommended that all the
relevant factors for the process, such
as cleaning agent, quality of water, etc.
are discussed with the Miele
Applications Specialists.
~If the cleaning result is subject to
particularly stringent requirements (e.g.
chemical analysis, specialized
processes), a regular quality control
test should be carried out by the user to
ensure that the required standards of
cleanliness are being achieved.
~The mobile units and special inserts
should only be used for their specific
application.
~Empty any containers or utensils
before arranging them in the machine.
~Do not allow any remains of acids,
solvents or corroding ferrous material,
and in particular hydrochloric acid or
chloride solutions to get into the wash
cabinet. Similarly avoid any materials
with a corrosive effect. The presence in
compounds of any solvents should be
minimal, (especially those in hazard
class A1).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6

~To avoid any corrosion damage
ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not
come in contact with the stainless steel
casing of the machine.
~Please follow the installation advice
in these instructions and the separate
Installation Instructions.
Using accessories
~Only specific additional equipment
made by Miele should be connected to
this machine. Consult a Miele
Application Specialist on the type and
application of such equipment.
~Only Miele mobile units, modules
and inserts should be used. If
equipment from another manufacturer
is used, Miele cannot ensure the
cleaning results. Damage or injury
caused by this are excluded from the
warranty.
Disposal of an old appliance
~When discarding a lab washer,
disconnect it from the power supply
and cut off the power cord.
For environmental and safety reasons
ensure the machine is completely
drained of any residual water and
cleaning agent. (Observe safety
regulations and wear safety goggles
and gloves). Make the door lock
inoperative or remove the door
completely, so that children cannot
accidentally shut themselves in. Make
appropriate arrangements for the safe
disposal of the machine.
Machines with a tank system: remove
the water from the tank before
disposing the machine.

The Miele PG 8527/ 8528 Laboratory
Glassware Washer is designed for
high-throughput, centralized wash
areas. This unit is ideal for cleaning
both large volumes of small items, and
difficult to clean large items.
Typical applications include:
–laboratory equipment for research
and production,
–laboratory equipment for analytical
and preparation applications,
–microbiology and biotechnology
labware,
Labware can include anything from
evaporation dishes to centrifuge tubes.
In this operating manual, the general
terms labware and glassware are used
to cover a range of laboratory
equipment and medical items.
For standardized results, it is preferable
to machine-wash lab instruments and
equipment.
The cleaning parameters should always
be optimally matched to the type of
soiling and labware involved.
The processing chemicals used also
should be matched to the particular
cleaning needs / analysis / analytical
methods involved.
