discussed with a Miele Application
Technology specialist.
It is the responsibility of the operator
~
to routinely check that the required
cleaning standards are being met.
Therefore, results need to be regularly
tested and documented, both thermo
electrically and through inspection. For
thermo chemical processes, additional
testing is required using chemical or
biological indicators.
The performance of the cycles was
~
tested using Neodisher products. The
use of other products is not
discouraged but may not yield identical
results. Please be aware that changes
in formulation, storage conditions, etc.
which may not be publicized by the
chemical manufacturer can have a
negative effect on cleaning results. and
are not the responsibility of the machine
manufacturer.

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.

Filling the salt reservoir
Only special, coarse-grained
reactivation salt* should be used in
this machine.
*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.
Water softener
Place the funnel provided in place.
^
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 washer has been
operated, there will always be
enough water in the reservoir.
^ Carefully fill the reservoir with the
reactivation salt.
Some displaced water will run out - this
is normal.
^ Wipe any residual salt off the screw
threads 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
machine.
Note: There may be a delay of a few
minutes before the "Rinse" program
starts due to the reactivation of the
water softener.
15
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.
16
Rinse Aid
Adding rinse aid
Rinse aid is not used in laboratory
glassware cleaning applications.
If rinse aid is required, the rinse aid
dosage must be activated with
assistance from Miele Technical
Service.
Rinse aid (e.g., MieleClear) is filled in
the storage container, and the selected
dose is then dispensed automatically.
The rinse aid reservoir holds
approximately 180 ml.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
,
reservoir with detergent will damage
the machine. Be sure only to use
rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir.
Open the washer door.
^
^ Unscrew the reservoir cap.
^
Pour enough rinse aid into the
reservoir so that the level indicator
(see arrow) is dark. Use a funnel if
necessary.
^
Replace and tighten the reservoir
cap.

prevent over sudsing during the next
wash cycle.
17
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid indicator light
^ Rinse aid does not need to be refilled
until the "Rinse aid" indicator light
comes on in the display.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The dosage selector has settings from
1 to 6 (1 - 6 ml). The factory setting is at
3 (3 ml).
If the glassware shows spots after
washing,
^ adjust to a higher setting.
If the glassware shows smearing or
cloudy streaks after washing,
18
^
adjust to a lower setting.
Neutralizing agent
Adding neutralizer
Neutralizer has an acidic pH, and
works by neutralizing any traces of
(alkaline) cleaner from the surface of
the glassware.
When a mild alkaline detergent is
used for washing, select a
neutralizer that contains phosphoric
acid.
The neutralizer is automatically
dispensed during the second rinse
after the main wash cycle. To function
properly, the neutralizer container must
be filled and cleared of air.
For specific instructions, please read
the section on "Programming functions".
Note: the program "Inorganica"
dispenses neutralizer after the
pre-wash.
Open the door of the storage cabinet
^
that houses the neutralizer and
detergent dispensers.

Loading the machine
Depending on the type of labware you
wish to clean, the washer can be used
with an upper basket, lower basket, or
injector wagon, 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 desired.
Before every program start, conduct
the following visual inspection:
– Is the labware properly loaded and
secured in the machine?
– Are the hollow vessels properly
loaded so that all cavities and
channels will be flushed clean?
– 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)?
After every program completion,
conduct the following visual
inspection:
Inspect the labware for cleanliness.
–
Has any hollowware been dislodged
–
from its 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 vessels cleaned through?
– Are the nozzles and connections
firmly attached to the
baskets/inserts?
–
Is the basket adapter properly
connected to the water supply for the
spray arms and nozzles?
–
Are the chemical dispensers filled?
24
Loading the machine
Loading the machine
Always load items in a way that all
–
surfaces are exposed. This ensures
that the items will be properly
cleaned.
Do not nest any items inside other
–
items. Keep each item separate.
Hollow vessels must be arranged for
–
complete inside exposure to the
cleaning water.
Hollow vessels should be inverted
–
and placed in suitable baskets and
inserts so that water will have
unrestricted access and exit.
– Deep-based items should be
arranged at an angle, so that water
can run off easily.
– Tall, narrow pieces should be placed
in the center of the basket for best
water coverage.
– Baskets and inserts with an adapter
must be properly connected.
–
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets.
–
To avoid corrosion, only load
stainless steel instruments in good
condition.
–
Do not use this machine to wash
nickel-plated items or discolored
(oxidized) aluminum items.
Prepare items before loading
Empty all glassware before loading
^
into the machine. Comply with all
applicable infection-control
regulations.
Remove all agar residue from petri
^
dishes.
Remove any blood clots and blood
^
residue.
Remove all stoppers, corks, labels,
^
sealing wax residue, etc.
Ensure that no acid or solvent
,
residues, especially hydrochloric
acid or chlorides, get inside the
machine.
Special preparations before
operating the machine
Items effected by heavy contamination
that resists removal, such as vacuum
grease, paper labels, etc., can affect
the cleaning and rinsing of the whole
load. Pre-treat these items before
loading.
Lab equipment that is contaminated by
microbiological material, pathogens,
propathogens, genetically altered
material, etc., may need to be sterilized
before being washed in the machine.
The user is responsible for this
decision.
–
Do not load plastics unless they are
heat-resistant.
25
Loading the machine
Spring adapter for the water
connection
The spring adapter for the water
connection must be properly engaged
when a basket or the injector wagon is
inserted into the machine. It must be
4-5mmhigher than the water inlet in
the machine.
If this is not the case, the adapter
needs to be adjusted as follows:
Adjusting the upper basket
The upper basket can be adjusted
above and below the middle position,
by 2 cm.
Depending on the height selected and
which inserts are used, labware of
various heights can be arranged in the
baskets.
To adjust the upper basket:
Pull the upper basket out as far as it
^
will go, lift it up off the runners and
remove.
^ Use a wrench to unscrew the roller
bearings on either side of the basket,
then reposition as required.
^
Loosen the locking ring a.
^
Move the adapter up to the proper
height b.
^
Tighten the locking ring c.

Laboratory equipment
Wide-necked labware, e.g., beakers,
wide-necked Erlenmeyer flasks and
Petri dishes, or cylindrical items,
e.g., test tubes, can be cleaned inside
and out by the rotating spray arms.
For proper cleaning, load these items in
whole, half or quarter inserts, and place
them in an empty lower basket or upper
basket with spray arm.
Narrow-necked items, e.g., narrow
necked Erlenmeyer flasks, round flasks,
volumetric flasks and pipettes, require
the use of injector wagons or injector
baskets.
Separate instructions are included
for the use of injector baskets and
inserts for narrow-necked labware.
This section only covers basic
information on how to prepare and load
labware.
Petri dishes and similar items should

Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the water inlet filters
To protect the water inlet faucet, filters
are incorporated in the intake hose
attached to the water supply. If the
filters are soiled they must be cleaned
to ensure sufficient water intake to the
wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
,
connection contains electrical
components and should not be
submerged or run through water.
Cleaning the filters
Disconnect the machine from
^
electricity (unplug it or "trip" the
circuit breaker).
Close the water supply and unscrew
^
the water inlet faucet.
Carefully remove the rubber seal.
^
Take out the filters with needle nose
^
pliers.
^
Rinse the large area filter 1 and fine
filter 2 under running water, and
replace if necessary.
^
Return filters and seal. Make sure
they are seated correctly.
^
Reconnect the hose to the water
faucet, checking that it is not
cross-threaded.
^
Open the water supply.
^
Check for leaks.
51
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the control panel
The control panel should only be
^
cleaned with a damp cloth or a
suitable cleaner for use on plastic
materials.
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
,
glass cleaners or all-purpose
cleaners! They will damage the
control panel.
Never clean the machine or near
,
its vicinity with a water or high
pressure hose.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is mostly self
cleaning.
If deposits have built, contact Miele for
info.
Cleaning the exterior
Stainless steel surfaces can be
^
cleaned using a non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner or
dishwashing detergent and warm
water.
^ To help prevent resoiling, a
conditioner for stainless steel can
also be used. Apply sparingly with
even pressure.
,
Do not use cleaners containing
thinner or ammonia. They will
damage the surface.
Cleaning the door seal
Clean the door seal regularly with a
damp cloth to remove soiling.
To replace damaged or leaking door
seals please contact Miele's Technical
Service Dept.
Dispensing systems
Check the consumption of the used
chemicals regularly to notice any
irregularities of the dispensing.

inserts, they must be checked daily. A
checklist is supplied with the machine.
Check the following points:
Are the rollers in the proper condition
–
and are they securely fixed in the
mobile unit/insert?
Is the basket connection set to the
–
correct height and tightened?
Are all spray jets, spray sleeves and
–
hose adapters tightly connected to
the basket/insert?
– Are all spray jets, spray sleeves and
hose adapters, unclogged so that
the wash water can flow through?
– Are covers and fasteners tightly
screwed on the spray sleeves?
If available:
do the spray arms rotate freely?
–
Are the spray jets clogged? See

Connecting the water inlet
The water in the machine is not
,
drinkable.
The machine must be connected to
–
the water supply in accordance with
local and national regulations.
The washer is constructed so it may
–
be connected to a suitable supply
without an extra non-return valve
unless required by code.
High iron content can leave a rust
–
film on stainless steel labware and
the machine itself.
When the chloride content in the
domestic water supply is above
100mg/l, the risk of corrosion
damage to stainless steel labware is
greatly increased.
– In certain regions (e.g., mountainous
areas) the water composition may
cause condensate to form, requiring
the use of softened water in the
steam condenser.
An acceptable water pressure (flow
–
rate) is 10 - 147 psi. However, the
recommended pressure is
25 - 60 psi.
If the water pressure is below 30 psi,
the fill time will take longer.
If the "Fill/Drain" indicator fault code
"F..E" lights, contact the Miele
Technical Service Department.
The maximum permissible static
–
water pressure is 145 psi over
pressure.
If the water pressure lies outside
–
these ranges, please contact Miele
Technical Service for advice (the
"Fill/Drain" indicator, may appear in
the display "F E").
– The machine is designed for
connection to cold water (blue
marking) and hot water (red marking)
up to 158°F (70°C) max.
Connect the water intake hoses to
the cold and hot water faucets.

DI Connection (pressurized)
The machine comes factory standard
for connection to a pressure resistant
system. The recommended water
pressure (flow rate) is 25 - 60 psi
however, water pressure that is
10 - 147 psi is acceptable.
The DI pressure tested hose (marked
^
"H2O pure" with a 3/4" hose thread
must be connected to the on-site
water valve for DI purified water.
If the DI water connection is not
used, the electronic needs to be
reprogrammed by Miele Technical
Service. The water intake hose
remains at the rear side of the
machine.
DI connection (unpressurized)
(optional)
For connection to 1.23 - 8.7 psi the
machine must be modified, if this has
not done at the factory. If a feed pump
is to be installed, this must only be
done by Miele Technical Service.
The discharge port for any DI
container (unpressurized) must be

Drainage
The drainage system is fitted with a
^
non-return valve which prevents dirty
water from flowing back into the
machine via the drain hose.
The machine should preferably be
^
connected to a separate drainage
system onsite.
If separate drainage is not available
contact Miele Technical Service for
advice.
The onsite drain connection point
should be located between 1 ft.
(0.3 m) and 3 ft. (1 m) above the
lower edge of the machine.
If it is lower than 1 ft. (0.3 m), lay the
hose in a curve at a height of at least
1 ft. (0.3 m).
The drainage system must be able to
take a minimum drainage flow of
16 l/min.
