Observe the further information given in the following sections as
necessary depending on area of application.
Preparing the
load
Empty all items before loading into the machine (pay particular
attention to relevant regulations).
Remove non-water soluble residues such as paint, adhesives and
polymer compounds using appropriate solvents.
Rinse wash load items which have been in contact with solvents,
chloride solutions or hydrochloric acid thoroughly with water and
drain well before loading in the machine.
The wash load should have only a slight solvent residue film
when place in the wash chamber.
Solvents with a flash point below 21°C may only be present in trace
amounts.
Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, or corrosive
iron materials must not be placed in the cabinet.
Shake out any blood residues and remove any clots.
If necessary rinse the wash load briefly with water to avoid
introducing coarse soiling into the machine.
Remove all stoppers, corks, labels, sealing wax residue, etc.
Small items such as stoppers and taps, should be secured in
suitable baskets for small parts.
It may be necessary in individual cases to check whether extremely
stubborn contamination e.g. vacuum grease, paper labels, etc. which
could affect the cleaning result, must be removed in advance.
It must be determined whether wash load items which are
contaminated with microbiological material, pathogenic germs,
facultative pathogenic bacteria, genetically modified material etc.
need to be sterilized prior to machine reprocessing.
