Chemical agents
Problem
How to resolve it
The ingredients in chemical agents have a
strong influence on the longevity and
functionality (throughput) of the dispensing
system.
– Follow the chemical agent manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations.
– Carry out a regular visual check of the
dispensing system (siphons, hoses,
dispensing containers etc.) for any
damage.
– Regularly check the flow rate of the
dispensing system.
– Ensure that the regular cycle of
maintenance is observed.
– Please contact Miele Service for advice.
Chemical agents can damage elastomers
and plastics in the machine and
accessories.
– Follow the chemical agent manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations.
– Carry out a regular visual check of any
accessible elastomers and plastics for
damage.
Hydrogen peroxide can release large
amounts of oxygen.
– Use only validated processes.
– The wash temperature must be lower than
70 °C when using hydrogen peroxide.
– Please contact Miele Service for advice.
The following chemical agents can cause
large amounts of foam to build up:
– Cleaning agents and rinsing agents
containing tensides.
Foam can occur:
– in the programme block in which the
chemical agent is dispensed,
– in the following programme block if it has
been spilt,
– in the following programme with rinsing
agent if it has been spilt.
– Process parameters in the wash
programme, such as dispensing
temperature, dosage concentration etc.
must be set to ensure the whole process
is foam free or very low foaming.
– Please observe chemical agent
manufacturer's instructions.
