Description of the machine
The G 7883 washer-disinfector is a front
loading machine designed specifically
for processing laboratory utensils and
glassware.
In general these include glass, heat
tolerant plastic, stainless steel and
coated metal items such as containers
(e.g. beakers, narrow necked and
conical flasks, Erlenmeyer flasks,
bottles, test tubes, separatory funnels
etc.), measuring vessels (e.g.
volumetric flasks, measuring cylinders,
pipettes etc.), dishes (e.g. Petri dishes,
mortars, watch glasses etc.) and small
components (e.g. stoppers, spatula,
stirrers etc.).
The main aim of processing laboratory
utensils and glassware is to remove
contaminations from both external and
internal surfaces and to rinse off any
cleaning and neutralising agents.
Items are loaded into inserts and
mobile units which are then pushed into
the wash cabinet. The door is then
closed and the programme is started
manually. At the end of the programme
the operator opens the door, removes
the mobile unit and inserts and unloads
the items.
The G 7883 is a single cabinet system
in which the whole process takes place,
including the pre-wash, main wash,
neutralisation, interim and final rinses.
Drying can be selected as an additional
function to complete the process. Each
programme stage follows on
automatically after the previous one.
The main wash, neutralising and rinse
stages are all carried out using water
based agents only. In other words using
cold, hot or fully demineralised water
with the addition of a suitable chemical
agent (cleaning agent or neutralising
agent). Other liquid agents such as
organic solvents or combustible agents
must not be used in this machine.
Before processing anything in this
machine make sure that it is suitable for
machine processing and that it is for
example heat, acid and alkali tolerant.
It is the user’s responsibility to decide
whether items contaminated with
substances such as micro biological
material, pathogenic cells, facultative
pathogenic cells, genetically modified
material etc. should be sterilised before
machine processing.
4
Description of the machine
If sterilisation is not required prior to
machine preparation, the user must
decide whether to use the vario TD
programme for cleaning and
disinfection to general hygiene
requirements, or whether to use the
SPECIAL 93°C/10’ (§ 18 IfSG) for
cleaning and disinfection in
accordance with national Health and
Safety regulations regarding the
containing of epidemics. The
disinfecting programme chosen will
depend on the area of effectiveness
required (bactericidal and/or virucidal)
and on the thermal stability of the
instruments. Contaminated items, not
requiring initial sterilisation, can be
placed directly in the machine without
pre-treatment (no soaking required).
The parameters for thermal disinfection
in accordance with prEN ISO 15883-1
are 80 °C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C) with a 10 min.
holding time or 90 °C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C)
with a 5 min. holding time for the
inactivation of HBV.
The effective areas are defined as
follows:
A = suitable for the destruction of
vegetative bacteria, including
myco-bacteria, fungus and fungal
spores.
B = suitable for the inactivation of
viruses (including HBV and HIV).

Warning and Safety instructions
The following points should be
observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards for processing
medical instruments and senstitive
laboratory glassware, and to avoid
injury to patients or damage to
equipment.
If the machine (depending on mo
del) is being used for disinfection
in accordance with official regulations
on the control of epidemics, the steam
condenser and its connections to and
from the wash cabinet must be cleaned
and disinfected whenever any repairs
are carried out or parts replaced.
For decontamination in
accordance with official
regulations, the programme must not
be interrupted by pressing the I-0
button to switch off after START has
been pressed . Interrupting any other
programmes should also be avoided as
this will reduce cleaning, disinfection
and the final rinse results. If it is opened
the programme should be completely
repeated.
The standard of cleaning and
disinfection in the disinfection
programmes must be routinely
confirmed by the user. The process
should be regularly monitored using
thermo-electrical, chemical or
bio-indicators, and this should be fully
documented.
-
For thermal disinfection, use
temperatures and temperature
holding times to achieve the required
infection prophylaxis in accordance
with current health and safety
regulations.
Only use chemical agents
formulated for special processes
and approved by Miele for use with this
machine. Use of unsuitable agents
could adversely affect the components
of the machine. Any resultant damage
would invalidate the machine
guarantee.
Pre-treatments with cleaning or
disinfecting agents can create
foam, as can certain types of soiling
and chemical agents. Foam can have
an adverse effect on the disinfection
and cleaning process.
Where a chemical additive is
recommended on technical
application grounds (e.g. a cleaning
agent), this does not imply that the
manufacturer of the machine takes
responsibility for the effect of the
chemical on the items being cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in
formulation, storage conditions etc,
which may not be publicised by the
chemical manufacturer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
When using cleaning agents and
specialised products, it is essential
that the manufacturer's instructions are
followed. Chemicals must only be used
for the purpose they are designed for
and in the situation specifed, to the
exclusion of other chemicals, to avoid
such dangers as chemical reactions
and material damage.
The machine is designed for
operation with water and
recommended additive chemical
agents only. Organic solvents must not
be used in this machine, as there is the
danger under certain circumstances of
fire or explosion. Although this is not the
case with all organic solvents, other
problems could arise with their use, for
example damage to rubber and
synthetic 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, water quality
etc. are discussed with the Miele
Application Technology specialists.
The special inserts should only be
used for the purpose they are
designed for. Hollow instruments must
be throughly cleaned, internally and
externally.
Empty any containers or utensils
before arranging them in the
machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids
or solvents, and in particular
hydrochloric acid or chloride solutions,
to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly
avoid any materials with a corrosive
effect.
The presence in compounds of any
solvents should be minimal (especially
those in hazard class A1).
Ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not
come into contact with the steel outer
casing of the machine, to avoid any
corrosion damage.
Please follow the advice on
installation in these instructions
and the separate Installation
Instructions.
If cleaning and rinsing results are
subject to particularly stringent
requirements (e.g. chemical analysis,
specialised industrial processes etc.), a
regular quality control test must be
carried out by the user to ensure that
the required standards of cleanliness
are being achieved.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Using accessories
Only use genuine Miele
accessories with this machine.
Consult Miele on the type and
application of such equipment.
Only use Miele mobile units,
baskets and inserts in this
machine. Using accessories made by
other manufacturers, or making
modifications to Miele accessories can
result in unsatisfactory cleaning and
disinfecting results, for which Miele
cannot be held liable. Any resultant
damage would also invalidate the
machine guarantee.
Disposal of your old machine
Before throwing an old machine
away, it must first be made
unusable. Disconnect it from the mains
and cut off the cable as close to the
machine as possible.
Please note that the machine may have
contamination from blood or other
bodily fluids in it and must be
decontaminated before disposal.
For environmental and safety reasons
ensure the machine is completely
drained of any residual water, chemical
residues and cleaning agent. Observe
safety regulations and wear safety
goggles and gloves.
Make the door lock inoperable, so that
children cannot accidentally shut
themselves in. Then make appropriate
arrangements for the safe disposal of
the machine.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person. Any plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind it to prevent misuse.

Water softener
The water needs to be softened to
avoid calcium deposits building up on
instruments and utensils and in the
machine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water
the water softener unit must always be:
1. correctly set (programmed) and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
(If the water hardness level is below
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.)
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 3.4 mmol/l
(19 °d).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 0.7 mmol/l
or 4 °d) the factory setting will need
to be changed following the
instructions in "Setting the water
softener". See chart on the next
page for settings.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
For fluctuating levels (e.g. 1.4 - 3.1
mmol/l or 8 - 17 °d) set the water
softener to the highest setting (in this
example to 3.1 mmol/l or 17 °d).

Filling the salt reservoir
Please only use special coarse grained
reactivation salt
approx. 1-4 mm. Do not use other types
of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural or
gritting salt. These could contain
components which are insoluble in wa
ter which could result in damage to the
water softener. If in doubt consult your
Miele Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg
of salt.

Rinsing agent
If rinsing agent is required the
rinsing agent reservoir in the
machine will first need to be
activated by a Miele Service
technician.
Rinsing agent helps water run off items
so that no droplets are left behind and
improves drying results. However,
because rinsing agent is dispensed
during the final rinse some of its
ingredients will remain on the surfaces
of your laboratory glassware etc. It
should therefore only be used if it does
not have an adverse effect on the
application the glassware or utensils
are being used for.
If used, it is poured into the rinsing
agent reservoir in the door and the
amount set is then automatically
dispensed during the final rinse.
The rinsing agent reservoir holds
approx. 180 ml.
The reservoir must be filled with

^
Undo the screw cap.
Pour rinsing agent into the reservoir
^
until the level indicator is dark (see
arrow in the illustration). Use a funnel
if necessary.
^ Screw the cap back on and mop up
any spilt rinsing agent. This prevents
over-foaming occuring during the
next programme.
^ Wait until the indicator light H on the
control panel lights up again before
adding any more rinsing agent.

Setting the dosage
The dosage adjuster in the opening has
settings from 1 to 6 (1-6 ml). It is set to
3 (3 ml) at the factory.
^ Use a higher setting if spots are left
after drying.
^ If the surface becomes cloudy and
streaky, use a lower setting.
21
Adding neutralising agent
Neutralising agent (pH-level: acidic)
neutralises residues of alkaline cleaning
agents on the surface of instruments
and utensils.
It is automatically dispensed in the
"Rinse" following the main wash.
In programme B INORGANIC
neutralising agent is also dispensed for
an acidic Pre-Rinse.
The relevent programme (see
"Programme Chart" - DOS 3) can not be
started until the dispensing system has
been vented.
(This function can only be cancelled by
a Miele Service Engineer).

Adding cleaning agent
Taking the effect on the environment
into consideration, please bear the
following points in mind when selecting
a cleaning agent:
What level of alkalinity is required to
^
achieve the correct level of cleaning?
Is active chlorine required for
^
disinfection or oxydation (pigment
removal)?
Are tensides required, in particular
^
for dispersal and emulsification?
A suitable mild alkaline detergent,
^
which does not contain active
chlorine, should be used for thermal
disinfection programmes.
Some types of soiling may require
different combinations of cleaning
agents and other additives. The Miele
Professional Department will be
pleased to advise you.
Note
Maintenance of the dispensing
system
To ensure trouble-free operation the
following regular maintenance should
be carried out by a Miele approved ser
vice technician.
Every 12-18 months:
Replace the dispensing hoses in the
DOS modules.
Take care when handling liquid
,
agents and additives. These may
contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety
instructions and relevant Health and
Safety procedures carefully.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
-
As a chargeable optional extra this
machine can also be fitted with a
DOS-Module G 60 dispenser pump for
liquid cleaning agent. This is connected
externally.
See "Programming special functions"
for venting the dispensing system and
setting the dosage.
The optional DOS Module is supplied
with its own installation and connection
instructions.
24
Loading the machine
This washer-disinfector normally
requires a top and bottom basket or a
mobile (injector) unit.
Various inserts and special baskets are
also available for a wide variety of
instruments and utensils.
The diversity of inserts and baskets
means that it is not possible to illustrate
them all or give detailed instructions on
their use here. For instance there are
inserts for direct injection of narrow
necked flasks, butyrometers, pipettes
etc.
Standard laboratory glassware such as
beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, Petri
dishes, test tubes etc. can be placed in
a variety of full, half and quarter inserts
in the upper or lower basket.
The following instructions relate only to
basic preparation and loading of
glassware.
Loading the machine
Preparation
Empty all glassware before loading
^
into the machine (paying particular
attention to regulations regarding
epidemics).
Ensure that no acid or solvent
,
residues, especially hydrochloric
acid or chlorides get into the wash
cabinet.
Remove all agar residues from Petri
^
dishes.
^ Remove blood clots and residues
from test tubes, etc.
^ Remove all stoppers, corks, labels,
sealing wax residues, etc.
25
Loading the machine
Note
Load items so that water will come
^
into contact with all surfaces. This
ensures that they will be properly
cleaned.
Do not place items to be cleaned
^
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
Hollow vessels should be inverted
^
and placed in the correct inserts. The
water must be able to access them
unhindered.
A cover net can be used to reduce
the risk of movement during the wash
process and prevent glass
breakages.
^ Petri dishes and similar should be
placed in the correct insert with the
soiled side facing the centre.
^ Pipettes should be placed with the
mouthpiece facing upwards.
^ Deep based items should be placed
at an angle to ensure good coverage
of water.
Important:
Make sure that the water connection
spring adapter engages correctly when
a basket or injector unit is inserted in
the machine. It must be 4-5 mm higher
than the water connection inlet in the
machine. If it is not:
Loosen the lock ring.
^
Push up the adapter (4-5 mm higher
^
than the water connection inlet in the
machine) and tighten up the lock
ring.
Select baskets and inserts which are
appropriate for the application.
See examples on the following pages
^
Tall, narrow pieces should be placed
in the centre of the baskets This
ensures good coverage of water.
^
Mobile units with adapters must
engage correctly (see next page).
^
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or which
hang down in their path. If necessary,
manually rotate the arms to test.

43
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filters in the water
inlet
Filters are incorporated in the screw
connection of the water inlet hose to
protect the water inlet valve. If these
filters get dirty they need to be cleaned,
otherwise insufficient water flows into
the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
,
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in
water.
To clean the filters
^ Disconnect the machine from the
mains supply (switch off at the mains
and pull out the plug, switch off the
appropriate circuit in the fuse box or
withdraw the mains fuse).
^ Turn off the stopcock and unscrew
the water inlet hose.
Replace filters and the seal. Make
^
sure they are sitting correctly.
Reconnect the hose to the water inlet,
^
making sure that it goes back on
straight.
Open the stopcock carefully.
^
If there is a leak, screw the
connections on more tightly.
Cleaning the control panel
This should only be cleaned with a
^
damp cloth or a suitable cleaner for
use on plastic materials, or with a
disinfectant tested and recognised
as suitable for this use.
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
,
glass cleaners or all-purpose
cleaners.
Because of their chemical
composition they could cause
serious damage to plastic
components.
^
Clean the large area filter (1) and fine
filter (2), and replace with new filters
if necessary.
44
Cleaning the front of the
machine
^
Clean using a proprietary cleaning
agent designed for the type of front
the machine is fitted with.
,
Do not use cleaning agents
containing ammonia or thinners.
