49
Using chemical agents
Only use chemical agents designed specifically for use in the
machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions on their
application.
Please observe carefully any instructions relating to non-toxic
residues.
Caution when using chemical agents. Some agents may be
corrosive and irritant.
The relevant safety regulations and the chemical agent
manufacturer's safety data sheets must be observed.
Wear protective goggles and gloves.
Contact Miele for information about suitable chemical agents.
Highly viscous (thick) chemical agents can affect the dispenser
monitoring and lead to inaccurate data. In this instance please
contact Miele Service for advice.
Dispensing systems
The machine is equipped with a number of internal dispensing
systems for chemical agents:
– Neutralisation agent
This is dispensed using a siphon.
Cleaning agent is dispensed, depending on machine, either
– via a dispenser for power cleaning agent
in the door,
or
– via an integrated dispensing system for liquid cleaning agent. This
is dispensed via a siphon.
Labelling the
siphons
Liquid chemical agents from external containers are dispensed by
siphons. Colour coding the siphons can be helpful for correct
dispensing.
Miele use and recommend the following:
– Blue:
for cleaning agent
– Red:
for neutralising agent
– Green:
for chemical disinfection agents or
an additional second cleaning agent
– White:
for acidic chemical agent
– Yellow:
for free choice
