The following notes should help to
avoid material damage.
Only use detergents formulated for
special processes and
approved by Miele for use with this
machine. Use of unsuitable detergents
could adversely affect the components
of the machine as well as items being
cleaned.
For pre-treatment and / or cleaning
only use low-foaming detergents
and disinfecting agents which have
been approved by Miele. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the disinfec-
tion and cleaning process.
Where a chemical additive is re-
commended on technical grounds
(e.g. with a cleaning agent), this does
not imply that the manufacturer of the
machine takes responsibility for the
compatibility with the items being
cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in formu-
lation, storage conditions etc., which
may not be publicised by the chemical
producer, can have a negative effect
on the cleaning result.
When using cleaning agents and
specialised products, it is essential
that the manufacturer’s instructions are
followed. Only use the product for the
application described by the manufac-
turer, to avoid any material damage or
the occurrence of strong chemical reac-
tions.
The machine is designed only for
operation with water and cleaning
agents. Organic solvents must not be
used in the machine, as there is the
danger under certain circumstances of
explosion. (Although this is not the
case with all organic solvents, other
problems could arise with their use, for
example damage to rubber and syn-
thetic materials).
In critical applications where very strin-
gent requirements have to be met, it is
strongly recommended that all the rele-
vant factors for the process, such as
cleaning agent, quality of water, etc.
are discussed with the Miele Applica-
tion Technology specialists.
If the cleaning result is subject to
particularly stringent requirements
(e.g. chemical analysis, specialised
processes, etc.), a regular quality con-
trol test must be carried out by the user
to ensure that required standards of
cleanliness are being achieved.
The special inserts should only be
used for their specific application.
Empty any containers or utensils be-
fore arranging them in the machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids
or solvents, and in particular hydro-
chloric acid or chloride solutions to ac-
cess the wash cabinet. Similarly avoid
any materials with a corrosive effect.
The presence in compounds of any sol-
vents should be minimal, (especially
those in hazard class A1).
