2. PRODUCT INFORMATION
Before use, the user should be familiar with the functions and
proper operation of the machine and must know the precise
function of the machine's operating controls.
2.1 Intended purpose and proper use
Designated purpose
This machine is intended for the cleaning, rinsing and thermal disinfection of reprocessable
containers for human waste, e.g. bedpans, urine bottles, drainage bottles, etc. in medical
establishments such as hospitals and nursing homes.
This machine is intended for indoor use only.
Improper use
Use of the machine is only permitted for the applications expressly approved in the operating
instructions. Any other use, conversions and modification are not permitted and could be
dangerous.
ATTENTION
Inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper
use or operation.
Advisory note: According to EN ISO 17664, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of a
medical device to provide instructions on reprocessing, including use, cleaning, disinfection,
inspection and storage. If containers for human waste are contaminated with blood, excrement
or bodily fluids during use, such products must be reprocessed before re-use in accordance with
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the medical device, observing international and
local standards. Washer-disinfectors play a role in the reprocessing of containers for human
waste.

2.2 Safety notes
A damaged or leaking machine can pose a threat to your safety. Always switch off a damaged
or leaking machine immediately and call Service.
Any modification to electrical systems and pipework necessary to install the machine must be
carried out by qualified, authorised persons only.
This machine should only be operated by suitably trained persons.
Non-instructed and untrained persons should be forbidden from using the machine.
This bedpan washer was designed for the sole purpose of washing and thermally disinfecting
human waste containers, e.g., bedpans, urine bottles or surgical drainage bottles used in
hospitals and nursing homes. Any other use is forbidden.
The bedpan washer should only be commissioned, maintained and repaired by Service, a
specialist dealer or other suitably qualified person. Unauthorised installation, maintenance and
repairs can expose the user to considerable risk.
The electrical safety of the machine can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is
essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and regularly monitored. If in any
doubt, please have the electrical installation inspected by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system,
e.g. electric shock.
Take care when using process chemicals. Exercise caution when handling chemicals: avoid
contact, wear gloves and act in compliance with the safety recommendations issued by the
manufacturer of the chemical products.
Do not inhale fumes and vapours from process chemicals.
Do not use organic or inflammable liquids as this may result in the risk of explosion.
ATTENTION
The relevant safety regulations and safety data sheets issued by the
manufacturers of process chemicals must be observed.
Do not lean on the door and do not use it as a step.
The water in the chamber is NOT safe to drink.
Do not install the machine in an area where there is any risk of explosion or of freezing
conditions.
Never clean the machine with a pressure cleaner.

2.3 Recommendations for proper use
The user must oversee the machine during the cycle.
When the machine is running do not interrupt the cycle since this jeopardises disinfection.
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.
Only process chemicals approved by the chemicals manufacturer for a given application
should be used. The manufacturer of process chemicals is liable for any negative
influences on the material of the load and the machine.
The relevant safety regulations and the process chemical manufacturer's safety datasheets
must be observed. Wear gloves and protective goggles.
The bedpan washer is only designed for use with water and appropriate process
chemicals.
The use of organic solvents or other inflammable liquids is not permitted. This could cause
an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the machine and cause liquids to
leak out.
Residues of solvents or acids, particularly hydrochloric acid, can damage steel. Contact
should be avoided.
Repairs and servicing of this machine must be carried out by authorised persons only.
Do not use powder detergent.
Avoid the use of detergents prone to foaming.
Use original accessories only.
Use only genuine load carriers and accessories. Accessories which are not approved by
the manufacturer may compromise reprocessing results as well as user safety.
The water supply connection must be easily accessible to allow the supply to be turned off
when not in use.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for personal injury or material damage
resulting from a failure to observe the above rules.
