Description of the machine
The Miele washer-disinfector is designed to clean, rinse and thermally disinfect re-usable equipment.
Always comply with the particular manufacturer's instructions (EN ISO 17664).
Examples of items that can be processed in this appliance are instruments, suction equipment, transfer instruments, etc.
For standardized results, it is preferable to machine-wash equipment.
When disinfection is required, the preference is for thermal disinfection, e. g., using the Disinfection vario program.
According to the A
concept under
0
EN ISO 15883-1, thermal disinfection occurs at 90 °C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C) and a holding time of 5 min (A efficacy standard A
3000). The
0
3000 includes the
0
inactivation of HBV.
Regional and/or other official directives may apply (e. g., §18 of the IfSG for Germany).
The cleaning parameters should always be optimally matched to the type of soiling and items involved.
Processing chemicals are to be selected to suit the particular cleaning needs involved.
For re-usable items to be safe for continued use, the cleaning result must meet certain minimum standards for disinfection, sterilization and residue levels.
Re-usable products are best cleaned using the Disinfection vario program.
Also important for acceptable cleaning results on equipment is the use of suitable loading accessories (baskets, modules, inserts). See the section on "Applications" for examples.
The washer-disinfector is designed to rinse with tap water or processed water (e.g., distilled water, pure water, deionized water, demineralized water) depending on the quality required for your application(s).
Under EN ISO 15883, this washer-disinfector is suitable for process validation.
10
Description of the machine
High -level disinfection
The washer-disinfector cleans items, and in the disinfection program, simultaneously thermally disinfects at 93°C/200°F.
Areas of effectiveness are physical removal or thermal inactivation of vegetative bacteria including mycobacteria, fungi, fungal spores and viruses. These catergories include the Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the Enterococcus faecium.
Important: Only the program labelled "disinfection" disinfects! Only use this program when handling contaminated items. All other programs are designed to clean items without disinfecting.
The washer-disinfector achieves high-level disinfection as defined by the Spaulding categorization.
The Spaulding category high-level disinfection is the same type of means as in the sterilant category except that the use pattern is different. The sterilant is used as a high-level disinfectant by e.g. reducing the exposure time within its effective range of tuberculocidal, virucidal and bactericidal action.
Instruments suitable for processing in the washer-disinfector
In general, only high quality stainless steel items are suitable for processing in the washer-disinfector. All items to be cleaned and disinfected in the washer-disinfector should have the following properties:
heat resistance to a temperature of
95°C/203°F
corrosion resistance in the presence
of heat and alkalinity.
The heat retention capacity of stainless steel allows for fast drying. Plastic has a lower heat retention capacity, thus requiring a longer drying time. In this case, a slightly extended waiting period of 5-15 minutes may be necessary after the disinfection cycle.
Aluminum items may discolour during the cleaning process. Aluminum has only a limited suitability for processing in the washer-disinfector.
Carbon steel and chrome-plated items may corrode during the cleaning process. Processing these types of items in the washer-disinfector is NOT recommended.
Hand pieces, drill bits, grinders, root canal instruments or other rotating items are not suitable for the washer-disinfector. Do not process them in the washer-disinfector.
11
Description of the machine
Do not clean fiberoptics or electrical equipment and components in the washer-disinfector.
Rhodium coated mirrors must be arranged so that their surfaces do not suffer any mechanical damage. Not all specula with glass are suitable for machine treatment.
If you have questions regarding whether an item is suitable for processing in the washer-disinfector, please seek the advice of the item manufacturer.
Water Quality
Good water quality is essential for processing items in the washer-disinfector, otherwise, item corrosion may result.
Poor water quality consists of, but is not limited to, high concentrations of chlorides (over 50 ppm). High chloride levels will cause even high quality stainless steel items to rust when processed in the washer-disinfector. Other effects that may be noticed are tarnishing or "blueing" of items due to dissolved minerals in the water.

Water softener
In order to provide good cleaning results, the machine requires a supply of soft water (water that is low in calcium and magnesium). If hard tap water is used, it can leave a white mineral deposit build-up on the items and the machine itself, therefore, tap water with a hardness of 4 °d (0.7 mmol/l) or more must be softened. The built-in water softener is designed for this purpose.
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 will provide
information about the hardness of the tap water in your area.
If the water hardness is known to fluctuate (e. g., 8 - 17 °d), always program for the highest value (in this instance 17 °d).

Water softener
How to fill the salt reservoir
Only use special, coarse-grained, Miele reactivation salt with a grain size of 1 - 4 mm. NEVER use other types of salt, such as table salt, cattle salt or de-icing salt. These salts can contain components that are insoluble in water and could damage the water softener.
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, always 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 washer-disinfector has been operated, there will always be enough water in the reservoir.
Place the provided funnel accessory
^
over the salt reservoir.
^ Carefully fill the reservoir with
reactivation salt.
Some displaced water will run out - this is normal.
^ Wipe any residual salt off the screw
threads on the reservoir.
^ Screw the cap back on completely.
^
Immediately after this step, start the "Rinse" program, to remove any traces of salt from the inside of the machine.
Note: There may be a delay of a few minutes before the "Rinse" program starts - this is normal. It simply means the water softener is being reactivated as needed.
20
Refill Salt Indicator
The water softener is automatically regenerated during the next program cycle. The program display will show a Recharging during this process.
^ Add regeneration salt whenever the
Refill salt indicator b Recharge is on.

21
Application
Depending on the type of items you wish to clean and disinfect, the washer-disinfector can be used with an upper basket and/or lower basket, as well as, an assortment of inserts and special baskets to suit your needs.
Baskets and inserts should be properly selected to match the application involved.
On the following pages you will find loading examples and additional information.
Before EVERY program start, conduct the following visual inspection:
– Are the items properly loaded and
secured in the machine?
– Are the hollow items properly loaded
so that all cavities and channels will be flushed clean?
After EVERY program completion, conduct the following visual inspection:
Inspect the items for cleanliness.
After washing, items should be
checked at random for protein analysis, e. g., with the Miele Test Kit.
Have any hollow items been
dislodged from their proper position on the nozzles?
Any items that were dislodged
,
from the adapters during a program cycle must be washed again.
– Are the cavities and channels in any
hollow items cleaned through?
– Are the nozzles and connections
firmly attached to the baskets/inserts?
Are the spray arms clean and can they rotate freely?
Is the filter combination free of coarse debris (remove any coarse material and clean the coarse, fine, flat and micro-fine filters as needed)?
Is the basket adapter properly connected to the water supply for the spray arms and nozzles?
Are the process chemical dispensers filled?
