Warning and Safety Instructions
15
To prevent material damage to the machine and accessories used
from the effects of process chemicals, soiling and their interaction,
follow the notes in chapter "Chemical Processes and technology".
Even when a chemical additive (e.g. cleaning chemical) is
recommended on technical application grounds, the machine
manufacturer takes no responsibility for the effect of such chemicals
on the material of the items being cleaned.
Note that formulation changes, storage conditions, etc., that are not
disclosed by the chemical manufacturer may adversely affect the
cleaning results obtained.
When using process chemicals, always follow the instructions of
the chemical's manufacturer. The process chemicals must only be
used for the application it is designed for and in the situation
specified to avoid material damage and such dangers as a severe
chemical reaction (e.g. an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage
and disposal of process chemicals.
For critical applications, where very stringent reprocessing
requirements have to be met, it is strongly recommended that all
process-related factors (processing chemicals, water quality, etc.) are
discussed in advance with Miele.
For applications that demand especially stringent cleaning and
rinsing results, the operator must ensure that quality control occurs
on a regular basis to meet the standards involved.
The carts, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the wash load
must be used only as intended.
Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.
Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh
tray for small items, so that they do not block the spray arms.
Empty all containers and hollow utensils before loading them into
the machine.
The amount of residual solvents and acids on items going into the
cabinet should be minimal.
There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash
point of below 21°C.
Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
placed in the cabinet.
To avoid corrosive damage, make sure the stainless steel housing
does not come into contact with solutions or steam containing
hydrochloric acid.
After any plumbing work the water pipework to the machine will
need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
