Adding and dispensing chemical agents

Cleaning agent
Use only cleaning agent which is suitable for washer-
disinfectors.
Do not use cleaning agents for domestic dishwashers.
Washer-disinfectors with an integrated dispensing system for liquid
cleaning agent are designed exclusively for use with liquid cleaning
agent. The liquid agent is dispensed from an external supply
container via a siphon.
If your washer-disinfector has a dispenser for powder cleaning agent
with a
symbol in the door, you can use either liquid or powder
cleaning agent.
Liquid cleaning agent is dispensed via an external DOS module. This
can be retro-fitted at any time by Miele Service.
Miele recommends the use of liquid cleaning agent.
For environmental reasons it is important to always consider the
following factors when selecting a cleaning agent:
– How alkaline does the cleaning agent need to be for the cleaning
application involved?
– Are protein-removing enzymes required and is the programme
sequence suitable for this?
– Are tensides required for proper dispersal and emulsification?
– Is a cleaning agent containing active chlorine required or can a
detergent without active chlorine be used?
Chlorous cleaning agents can damage plastics and elastomers
in the machine.
If the use of cleaning agents containing chlorine is required, a
maximum temperature of 75 °C in the "Detergent dosage"
programme blocks is recommended (see programme overview).
Chlorous cleaning agents must not be used in machines supplied
ex-works with special oil-resistant elastomers for oil and grease
applications!

optimum cleaning agents and additives to use for liquid dispensing,
