Quality assurance
The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining quality standards when
reprocessing laboratory glassware and utensils and to avoid damage to the wash items
being cleaned.
 Only authorized personnel may interrupt a program in exceptional circumstances.
 It is the responsibility of the operator to demonstrably ensure reprocessing standards in
routine operation. Process results must be inspected and documented on a regular basis.
 For thermal disinfection, use temperatures and temperature holding times to achieve the
required infection prophylaxis in accordance with health and safety regulations.
 Only reprocess undamaged and suitable items. When washing plastic items, ensure that they
are thermally stable. Nickel-plated items and items made of aluminum require special procedures
and are not generally suitable for machine reprocessing. Ferrous materials that can rust or
corrode must not be introduced into the wash cabinet as wash items or as stains.
 Under certain circumstances, process chemicals can result in damage to the machine. Users
are urged to follow the recommendations issued by manufacturers of process chemicals. Contact
Miele in the event of damage and any suspicion of material incompatibility.
 Cleaning detergents containing chlorine can damage the elastomers of the machine.
If the use of cleaning detergents containing chlorine is required, a maximum temperature of 70°C
(158°F) is recommended for the main wash program blocks (see program chart).
In machines equipped with special oil-resistant elastomers (from the factory) for oil and grease
applications, cleaning detergents containing chlorine may not be used!
 Abrasive substances should not be introduced into the machine as these could cause
damage to mechanical components in the water circuit. Abrasive residues on the wash items
must be removed completely before reprocessing.
 Pre-treatment with cleaning or disinfecting agents,certain types of soiling and the interaction
of certain process chemicals can create foam. Foam can have an adverse effect on the
disinfection and cleaning result.
 Reprocessing should not result in foam being discharged from the wash cabinet. Foam
discharge can compromise the operation of the machine.
 The process used must be monitored on a regular basis by the operator to check foaming
levels.
 Even when a process chemical, e.g., detergent, is recommended on technical application
grounds, Miele takes no responsibility for the effect of such chemicals on the wash items. Please
note that changes in product formulation, storage conditions, etc. which are not announced by
manufacturers of process chemicals may impair the quality of cleaning results.
 Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage and disposal of process
chemicals.
 In critical applications where very stringent requirements have to be met, it is strongly
recommended that all the relevant factors for the process (detergent, water quality, etc.) are
discussed with Miele.
 If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent requirements (e.g., chemical analysis),
regular quality control should be carried out by the operator to ensure that required standards of
cleanliness are being achieved.
 Load carriers such as mobile units, baskets, and inserts which hold the wash items must be
used only as intended.
The interior of lumened items must be thoroughly flushed through with wash water.
 Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh tray for small items, so that
they do not block the spray arms.
 Empty any containers or utensils before loading them.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
REV.0.01_COD.650184_A4 Page 12
 The amount of residual solvents on items going into the wash cabinet should be minimal.
There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash point of below 21°C (70°F).
 Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, or ferrous materials that can rust or corrode
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, machine components can be damaged.
 The gaps between a built-in machine and adjacent cabinetry must not be sealed, e.g., with
silicone sealant, as this could compromise ventilation of the circulation pump.
 Follow the installation instructions in the operating and installation instructions.
Safety with children
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the machine. Do not allow children to play with
the machine. There is a danger that children might shut themselves in the machine.
 Children must not use the machine.
 Keep children away from process chemicals. These contain irritant and corrosive ingredients
which can cause burning in the eyes, mouth, and throat, or inhibit breathing. It is therefore
important to keep children away from the machine when the door is open. There could still be
residual process chemicals in the machine. Observe the safety data sheets for the process
chemicals and seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed process chemicals or
got them in their eyes.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Water connection
Water quality
The quality of the water used in all the cleaning stages is essential in achieving good results.
 The water must be compatible with the material from which the machine is made.
 The water must be compatible with process chemicals.
 The water must be compatible with process requirements for the various stages of the
process.
In order to achieve good reprocessing results, the machine requires a supply of soft water with a
low calcium content. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on the wash items and
on the inner walls of the wash cabinet.
Water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 gr/gal) must be softened. This occurs
automatically during a program sequence on machines with a built-in water softener (option ex
works). The water softener must be set to the exact hardness of the water.
The water softener must be reactivated at regular intervals. This requires the use of special
reactivation salt. Reactivation is carried out automatically during a program sequence.
Softened water must be provided on site for machines without a built-in water softener.
Note: The water hardness is set by Miele Service.
WARNING
Water from the cabinet is not suitable for drinking!
The machine must be connected to the water supply in strict accordance with local regulations.
The water used must at least comply with national regulations for drinking water quality. If the
water supply has a high iron content, there is a danger of corrosion occurring on items being
cleaned in the laboratory glassware washer, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content of
the water exceeds 100 mg/l, the risk of corrosion to wash items in the machine will be further
increased.
In certain regions (e.g., mountainous areas), the water composition may cause precipitates to
form, requiring the use of softened water in the steam condenser.
The machine is equipped with a safety system for the protection of drinking water and may be
connected to the water supply without a non-return valve, if national regulations permit.
The laboratory glassware washer is supplied as standard for connection to cold water (blue coded
hose) and hot water up to max. 60°C (140°F) (red coded hose). Connect the intake hoses to the
shutoff valves for cold and hot water.
If no hot water supply is available, the red coded inlet hose for the hot water connection must also
be connected to the cold water supply.
The minimum flow pressure for cold water, hot water, and the DI water supply is 100 kPa (14.5
psi).
The recommended flow pressure is ≥ 200 kPa (29 psi) for the cold and hot water connections
and ≥ 200 kPa (29 psi) for the DI water supply in order to avoid excessively long water intake
times.
The maximum permissible static water pressure is 800 kPa (116 psi).

INSTALLATION
REV.0.01_COD.650184_A4 Page 18
A booster pump is required if the flow pressure is below 100 kPa (14.5 psi). If the pressure is
higher than 800 kPa (116 psi), a pressure reducer must be installed.
If water pressure is not within the specified range, contact Miele Service or an authorized service
technician for advice.
A shutoff valve with a ¾” threaded union must be provided on-site. The valve should be easily
accessible, since the water supply should be shut off whenever the machine is not in use.
WARNING
Do not overtighten the threaded unions on the hoses.
Information:
 The machine is equipped with a safety system for the protection of drinking water and may
be connected to the water supply without a non-return valve, if national regulations permit.
 If no hot water supply is available, the red coded inlet hose for the hot water connection
must also be connected to the cold water supply.
 A Y-piece can be used to connect both hoses to the cold water supply.
 Miele cannot be held liable for damage or injury caused by noncompliance with the safety
instructions and warnings.
 Non-compliance with the above conditions will render the warranty invalid.
WARNING
When the machine is not in operation, always close the shutoff valves.
