should be trained regularly.
Children and untrained personnel must
not be allowed access to the machine
or its controls.
BURN AND SCALD HAZARD
This washer reaches very high
temperatures. Take care when
unloading the unit. Let baskets and
inserts cool before touching them. Any
water which may remain in containers
will be very hot and must be emptied
into the wash cabinet.
BURN HAZARD
The heating elements become
extremely hot during use. Do not touch
the heating elements during or directly
after the end of a program.
Take care when handling liquids
such as detergents, wetting agents
or neutralizing agents. These may
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
Do not use an organic solvent in this
washer, as an explosion may occur.

or inhibit breathing.
4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Only use cleaning agents
formulated for special processes
and approved by Miele for use with this
machine. Use of unsuitable cleaning
agents could adversely affect the
components of the machine.
Pre-treatments with detergents can
create suds, as can certain rinsing
agents. For pre-treatment and / or
cleaning only, use low-sudsing
detergents which have been approved
by Miele. Suds can have an adverse
effect on the cleaning process.
Where a chemical additive is
recommended on technical
application grounds (for example, with
a cleaning agent), this does not imply
that the manufacturer of the machine
takes responsibility for the effect of the
chemical on the material of the items
being cleaned. Please be aware that
changes in formulation, storage
conditions, etc, which may not be
published by the chemical producer,
can have a negative effect on the
cleaning result.
When using cleaning agents and
specialized products, it is essential
that the manufacturer’s instructions are
followed. Only use the product for the
application described by the
manufacturer to avoid any material
damage or the occurrence of strong
chemical reactions.
The machine is designed only for
operation with water and additive
cleaning agents. Organic solvents must
not be used in the machine. An
explosion or machine corrosion could
occur with the use of organic solvents.
In critical applications where very
high requirements must 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 Technical
Service Department.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the cleaning result is subject to
particularly stringent requirements
(e.g. chemical analysis, specialized
processes), a regular quality control
test should be carried out by the user to
ensure that the required standards are
being achieved.
The mobile units and special
inserts should only be used for
their specific application.
Empty any containers or utensils
before arranging them in the
machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids
or solvents, particularly
hydrochloric acid or chloride solutions,
to get into the wash cabinet. The
presence of any solvents should be
minimized (especially those in hazard
class A1).
To prevent corrosion damage,
ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not
come into contact with the steel outer
casing of the machine.
Accessories
Only genuine Miele parts or
accessories should be used with
the G 7804 Laboratory Glassware
washer. The performance and safety of
non-genuine parts or accessories
cannot be guaranteed, and use of such
parts or items may void the machine
warranty. If you have specific questions
about machine options or accessories,
please call Miele.
Disposal of an appliance
When discarding an old laboratory
washer, disconnect it from the
power supply, remove the door to the
wash cabinet and cut off the power
cord.
For environmental and safety
reasons, ensure the machine is
completely drained of any residual
water and cleaning agent. (Observe
safety regulations and wear safety
goggles and gloves). Make appropriate
arrangements for the safe disposal of
the machine.

Water softener
To avoid the build-up of calcium
deposits on glassware and the
machine, the water may need to be
softened (where the supply hardness
exceeds 107 ppm CaCO
).
3
To ensure a steady supply of soft water,
the water softener must always be:
1. correctly set (programmed) and
2. regenerated with salt as soon as the
"Recharge Softener" indicator
illuminates.
The water softener should be set to
correspond with the water hardness
upon installation of the machine.
Your local water authority can advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
Setting the water softener
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness setting of 19*,
corresponding to 339 ppm CaCO
your water supply is harder or softer
than this, the setting of the controls
should be changed.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 160 - 310 ppm, always
program the machine to the higher
value, 310 ppm in this example.
