2INTENDED PURPOSE AND CLASSIFICATION
2.1 INTENDED PURPOSE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: professional glassware washers, laboratory glassware washers (GW –glassware
washer).
Model
Key characteristics
GW0260
Laboratory glassware washers, 60 cm wide, without drying system, washing chamber in
stainless steel AISI304.
GW1260
Laboratory glassware washers, 60 cm, without drying system, washing chamber in stainless
steel AISI316.
GW4260
Laboratory glassware washers, 60 cm, with forced-air drying system, washing chamber in
stainless steel AISI316.
GW4290
Laboratory glassware washers, 90 cm, with forced-air drying system and side cabinet to take
detergent jerry cans, washing chamber in stainless steel AISI316.
INTENDED PURPOSE:
treatment, through washing and thermal disinfection, of glassware, laboratory components
and reusable components.
. The device was tested using the chemical products recommended in this manual. The use
of chemical products other than those recommended may impair the device’s fitness for its
intended purpose and its safety.
The device does not sterilise the load.
Sterilisation is performed by other devices (e.g. steam sterilisers) and is a treatment which
follows on from washing and thermal disinfection.
The washing trolley supports the load and determines type of load which can be processed
in a cycle. (The device is supplied as standard without washing trolleys; contact the
manufacturer for advice about the trolleys best suited to your needs.)
The instructions provided by the manufactures of the items in the load and the glassware
should always be followed when choosing the most appropriate treatment.
The operator’s own knowledge, especially of the Programs Table installed in the device
and the type of items for processing, is essential for selection of the correct treatment cycle:
the device offers various cycles with different time-temperature exposure (i.e. parameter A0)
values, which must be selected depending on the criticality of the load for processing.
It is essential to check the compatibility of the load for treatment with the specific washing
cycle chosen, in terms of the maximum temperatures reached and the chemicals used.
Information supplied in compliance with IEC 61010-2-040.
Any use other than that described in this manual constitutes misuse.
The manufacturer declines all liability for uses other than those stated above.
The manufacturer declines all liability for any damage caused by the use of the device to wash
instruments not approved by their manufacturers for automatic decontamination by means
of thermal disinfection.
