Function of the glassware washer
This Miele dishwasher is designed for cleaning and rinsing laboratory glassware which is suitable for machine reprocessing. Always follow the labware manufacturer's instructions.
Examples of application areas:
laboratory glassware used in
research and development,
laboratory glassware used in areas
of analysis and specimen taking,
laboratory glassware used in
micro-biology and biotechnology.
The type of laboratory glassware which can be reprocessed ranges from Petri dishes to centrifugal test tubes.
Reprocessing glassware by machine achieves reproducible results and should be used in preference to processing them by hand.
The cleaning program as well as the agents used must be chosen according to the type of soiling and load being processed. The agents used in the machine for reprocessing should be selected according to the level of cleaning required as well as the method the product will be used.
The use of a suitable carrier (mobile unit, module, insert etc.) is important to ensure adequate cleaning. Examples are given in the section "Areas of application".
The dishwasher is programmed to carry out the final rinse with mains water or with processed water of a quality to suit the application (e.g. distilled, purified, de-ionized or demineralized water). The water quality is important for applications requiring analytically clean laboratory glassware.

Water softener
Before using the lab washer for the first time, the water softener should be programmed. The water needs to be softened to avoid calcium deposits on the items being cleaned and in the machine itself. If the water supply is harder or softer than the factory setting (including below 4 gr/gal or 70 ppm), the setting will need to be changed. See "Setting the water softener".
In order to function properly, the
water softener requires a supply of reactivation salt.
– The cleaner must be correctly
programmed to match the hardness of the tap water supply.
– Your local water authority can
provide information about the hardness of the tap water in your area.
If the water hardness is known to fluctuate, always program for the highest value.
The built-in water softener can be programmed at settings from 1 - 60 gr/gal or 20 - 1080 ppm.
It is useful to make a note of your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.

Filling the salt reservoir
Only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt* should be used in this lab washer.
*Available from Miele. Please see back page for more information.
Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These could contain components which are insoluble in water and could damage the water softener. If in doubt, consult Miele Technical Service.
The salt reservoir holds approximately
2.5 kg salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
reservoir with detergent will damage the water softener. Before filling the reservoir, make sure that you are using reactivation salt.
Remove the bottom basket from the
^
machine.
Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
^
Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time fill the reservoir with approximately 2.5 liters of water, so that the salt can dissolve properly. Once the lab washer has been operated, there will always be enough water in the reservoir.
^
Place the funnel provided in place.
^
Carefully fill the reservoir with the reactivation salt.
15
Water softener
Wipe any residual salt off the screw
^
threads and seal of the reservoir.
^ Screw the cap on securely.
^ Immediately after this step, start the
"Rinse" program, to remove any traces of salt from the inside of the lab washer.
Note: There may be a delay of a few minutes before the "Rinse" program starts due to the reactivation of the water softener.
Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty, the "Recharge Softener" indicator b lights to remind you to fill the reservoir.
Reactivation takes place automatically as needed during a program. The "Recharging" indicator a lights while this is occurring.

Effects of Processing Chemicals
General information
Effects Action
Damage to elastomer (seals and hoses) or plastic components of the lab washer may cause the materials to swell, shrink, harden or become brittle, possibly causing cracks to form in the materials. This will impair their function, which will generally lead to leaks.
Strong foaming during the program prevents proper cleaning and rinsing of the load. Foam escaping from the wash compartment can result in damage to the lab washer. If foaming occurs, the cleaning process is not standardized and not validated.
Stainless steel corrosion in the wash compartment and/or accessories may appear in various ways:
– rust formation (red spots / stains), –
black spots / stains,
white spots / stains (smooth surface is slightly corroded).
Corrosion that forms holes can result in leaks in the lab washer. Depending on the application, the corrosion may impair the cleaning and rinsing results (laboratory analysis) or cause corrosion of the load (stainless steel).
Find and correct the causes of the
damage.
See "Connected processing chemicals", "Soiling" and "Reactions between processing chemicals and soils" for more information.
Find and correct the cause of the
foaming. The process must be checked
regularly in order to detect any foaming.
See "Connected processing chemicals", "Soiling" and "Reactions between processing chemicals and soils" for more information.
