IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
This machine complies with all statutory safety requirements.
However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and material
damage.
Read these instructions carefully before using the machine 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.
Proper use
 This washer-disinfector is designed for use with the applications
described in these operating instructions only. Alterations or
conversions to the machine, or using it for purposes other than those
for which it was designed, are not permitted and could be dangerous.
This washer-disinfector must only be used for cleaning and
disinfecting of instruments or medical devices if the instrument
manufacturer has stated that they are suitable for machine
reprocessing. The manufacturer's cleaning and maintenance
instructions must also be observed.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or
incorrect use or operation of the machine.
 This machine is intended for indoor use in a stationary location
only.
Risk of injury
Please pay attention to the following notes to avoid injury.
 This washer-disinfector must be commissioned, serviced and
repaired by a Miele authorized and trained service technician only.
Unauthorized repairs can pose considerable risks to the user.
 The installation and the work flow of the instruments must be in
such a way, that a recontamination of intermediate-level thermally
disinfected instruments and a mix up of clean and dirty instruments is
not possible.
AAMI ST79 shows an example of proper layout and work-flow.
 Do not install the machine in an area where there is any risk of
explosion or of freezing conditions.
 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.
 Some metal parts pose a risk of injury/being cut. Wear cut-
resistant protective gloves when transporting and setting up the
machine.
 If the machine is built under a worktop, it must only be installed
under a continuous worktop run which is firmly secured to adjacent
units to improve stability.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
 The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed if it is
grounded properly. 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 consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g.
electric shock).
 As standard, the drain water of the machine will reach
temperatures greater than 160°F (70°C). At this temperature, drain
water can potentially damage the drain system. In order to reduce
damage to the drain system, Miele offers an optional drain water
cool-down kit.
 A damaged or leaking machine could be dangerous and
compromise your safety. Disconnect the machine from the electrical
supply immediately and contact Miele Service.
 Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.
 Only use process chemicals which have been approved by the
manufacturer for use in the application you are using. The process
chemical manufacturer is responsible for any negative effects on the
material the load is made of and for any damage they may cause to
the machine.
 Use caution when handling process chemicals. These may contain
irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the process chemical manufacturer's safety
instructions and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
 The machine is designed for operation with water and
recommended additive process chemicals only. Organic solvents and
flammable liquid agents must not be used as 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 wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!
 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
machine to tip and get damaged or cause injury.
 Use caution when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the machine.
 Broken glass can result in serious injury during loading or
unloading. Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 When operating the washer-disinfector, bear in mind the possibility
of high temperatures. If the door is opened while bypassing the safety
lock, there is a danger of burning, scalding and chemical burns.
 Should personnel accidentally come into contact with toxic vapors
or process chemicals, follow the emergency instructions given in the
manufacturer's safety data sheets.
 Mobile units, baskets, modules, inserts and the load must be
allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining
in containers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash
cabinet before taking them out.
 Never clean the machine with a water hose or a pressure washer.
 The machine must be disconnected from the electrical supply
before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
Quality assurance
The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards when processing medical instruments and
devices, in order to protect patients, and to avoid damage to the
loads being cleaned.
 If it is necessary to interrupt a program, as an exception only, this
may only be done by authorized personnel.
 The standard of cleaning and disinfection in the disinfection
programs must be routinely confirmed by the user.
 For intermediate-level thermal disinfection, use temperatures and
temperature holding times to achieve the required infection
prophylaxis in accordance with health and safety regulations.
 Make sure items being washed are suitable for machine
reprocessing and are in good condition. Plastic items must be
thermally stable. Nickel plated items and aluminum items can be
machine processed using special procedures only.
Items containing iron, and soiling containing residual rust must not be
placed in the cabinet.
 Process chemicals can, in certain circumstances, cause damage to
the machine. Always follow the recommendations of the process
chemical manufacturer.
In case of damage or doubt about compatibility, please contact
Miele.
 Instrument care products based on paraffin oils (white oils) can
damage the elastomers and plastics of the washer-disinfector. Such
care products may not be dispensed as chemical agents in these
washer-disinfectors even if they are recommended for machine use
by the instrument care product manufacturer.
