Chemical agents
Problem
How to resolve it
The ingredients in chemical agents have a
strong influence on the longevity and func-
tionality (throughput) of the dispensing sys-
tem. The dispensing system (hoses and
pumps) should be set up for a particular
type of chemical agent.
General types:
– alkaline to pH neutral products,
– acid to pH neutral products,
– hydrogen peroxide.
– Follow the chemical agent manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations.
– Carry out a regular visual check of the
dispensing system for any damage.
– Regularly check the flow rate of the dis-
pensing system.
Chemical agents can damage elastomers
and plastics in the washer-disinfector and
accessories.
– Follow the chemical agent manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations.
– Carry out a regular visual check of any ac-
cessible elastomers and plastics for dam-
age.
Hydrogen peroxide can release large
amounts of oxygen.
– Only use approved processes such as
OXIVARIO or OXIVARIO PLUS.
– The wash temperature must be lower than
70 °C when using hydrogen peroxide.
– Please contact Miele Service for advice.
