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
stringent requirements have to be
met, it is strongly recommended that all
the relevant factors for the process,
such as cleaning agent, quality of
water, etc. are discussed with the Miele
Application 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).
Ensure that solutions or steam con-
taining acid salts do not come into
contact with the steel outer casing of
the machine, to avoid any corrosion
damage.
Please follow the advice on installa-
tion in these instructions and in the
separate Installation Instructions.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any dam-
age which may be caused by cock-
roaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
