If there are toxic or chemical
substances in the suds solution
(e.g. aldehyde in the disinfecting agent)
you must be particularly vigilant of the
risks these carry should you need to
interrupt a programme and open the
door. The door seals and correct
functioning of the steam condenser
should be regularly monitored.
Theatre (OP) shoes should only be
cleaned and disinfected in a
machine installed specifically for this
purpose.
Only use chemical agents
formulated for special processes
and approved by Miele for use with this
machine. Use of unsuitable agents
could adversely affect the components
of the machine. Any resultant damage
would invalidate the machine
guarantee.
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 disinfection
and cleaning process.
Where a chemical additive is
recommended on technical
application grounds (e.g. a cleaning
agent), this does not imply that the
manufacturer of the machine accepts
liability for the effect of the chemical on
the items being cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in
formulation, storage conditions etc.
which may not be publicised by the
chemical manufacturer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
When using cleaning agents and
specialised products it is essential
that the manufacturer’s instructions are
followed. Only use the product for the
application described by the
manufacturer, to avoid any material
damage or the occurrence of strong
chemical reactions.
The machine is designed for
operation with water and additive
chemical agents only. Organic solvents
must not be used in this machine, as
there is the danger under certain
circumstances of fire or explosion.
Although this is not the case with all
organic solvents, other problems could
arise with their use, for example
damage to rubber and synthetic
materials.
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.
If cleaning and rinsing results are
subject to particularly stringent
requirements (e.g. chemical analysis,
specialised industrial processes etc.), a
regular quality control test must be
carried out by the user to ensure that
the required standards of cleanliness
are being achieved.
Mobile units, modules and inserts
should only be used for the
purpose they are designed for.
Hollow instruments must be thoroughly
cleaned, internally and externally.
