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.

Please note the water hardness in the
space provided here:

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.

Water softener

Place the funnel provided in place.

^

^ Carefully fill the reservoir with the

reactivation salt.

Some displaced water will run out - this
is normal.

^

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.

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.

16

Use only special processing

,

chemicals for lab washers and
observe the manufacturer's
recommendations for use. In
particular, always observe the
manufacturer's instructions
regarding residual amounts that do
not pose any toxicological risk.

Adding rinse aid

Rinse aid is not used in laboratory
glassware cleaning applications.

Open the machine door.

^

Rinse Aid

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 lab washer. Be sure only to use

rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir.

^ 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.

^

Wipe up any spilled rinse aid, to
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 (primed).

For specific instructions see
"Programming functions".

Note: the program "Inorganica"
dispenses neutralizer after the
pre-wash.

Take out the (red) neutralizer

^

container and refill it or replace it with
a filled container.

^ Insert the siphon tube into the

container opening and screw it into
place. Make sure to observe the
color coding.

^ Then place the container on the floor

next to the machine.

,

formulated for this machine. Do not
use detergents formulated for
household dishwashers.

Liquid detergent

It is recommended that mildly alkaline
liquid detergents be dispensed via the

optional DOS module.

Note

As a separate option, this machine can
also be fitted with a dispenser pump for
automatic liquid detergent dispensing
(DOS-Module G 60). This is connected
externally. Contact Miele for details.

The optional DOS Module G 60 is
supplied with its own installation and
connection instructions.

See "Programming functions" for
information on priming the dispensing
system and setting the dosage.

Using powdered detergent

Avoid inhaling cleaning agents

,

in powder form. If processing
chemicals are ingested, they can
cause chemical burns in the mouth
and throat or suffocation.

When the following upper baskets
are used, powdered detergent can
be loaded inside the door, but only
for programs without a pre-wash
cycle. In all other cases, use liquid
detergent (DOS module):
– O 175
– O 176
– O 176/1
– O 183
– O 184
– O 187
– O 190/2.

Before starting the program, load the
powdered detergent into the
compartment (except for the programs
"Rinse" and "Drain").

Note also that the program
"Organica" can only be used with
liquid detergents.

Loading the machine

Depending on the type of labware you
wish to clean, the lab 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 lab washer?

– 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?

Process validation

– As a rule, it is the responsibility of the

user to ensure that items cleaned in
the machine meet the required
standards.

–

Is the basket adapter properly
connected to the water supply for the
spray arms and nozzles?

–

Are the chemical dispensers filled?

23

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.

Prior to loading the machine or

–

connecting to the machine ensure
that vessels with long, narrow
cavities they can be completely
flushed.

Do not use this machine to wash

–

nickel-plated items or discolored
(oxidized) aluminum items.

Do not load plastics unless they are

–

heat-resistant.

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.

– 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.

–

Secure light loads with netting and
place small items in a mesh
tray/basket so that they do not
obstruct the spray arms.

–

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.

^ 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 lab washer.
The user is responsible for this
decision.

24

Loading the machine

Spring adapter for the water
connection

The spring adapter for the water
connection must be properly engaged

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

–

be loaded in a suitable insert with the

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

Effects of Processing Chemicals

Connected processing chemicals

Effects Action

The ingredients of the processing
chemicals have a considerable effect
on the durability and functionality (feed
performance) of the metering systems.
The metering systems (feed hoses and
pump) are designed for a specific type
of processing chemicals.

General categories:

alkaline to neutral pH products,

–

acid to neutral pH products,

–

hydrogen peroxide.

–

The processing chemicals can damage
the elastomer and plastic components
of the lab washer and its accessories.

Hydrogen peroxide can release large
quantities of oxygen.

Use only those processing chemicals

–

recommended by Miele.
Consult a Miele Applications
Specialist.

Perform regular visual inspections of

–

the metering system.
Regularly check the feed

–

performance of the metering system.

– Use only those processing chemicals

recommended by Miele.
Consult a Miele Applications
Specialist.

– Perform regular visual inspections of

all visible elastomer and plastic
components.

– Use only tested processes such as

OXIVARIO or OXIVARIO PLUS
(if available).

–

In the case of hydrogen peroxide,
the washing temperature should be
below 158 °F (70 °C).

Consult a Miele Applications Specialist.

30

Effects of Processing Chemicals

Connected processing chemicals

Effects Action

The following processing chemicals
can result in excessive foaming:

tenside cleaners containing

–

detergent and rinse aid.

The foaming can occur:

in the program block in which the

–

processing chemical is added,
in the subsequent program block

–

due to carry-over,
in the case of rinsing agents, in the

–

subsequent program due to
carry-over.

Antifoaming agents, particularly
silicone-based antifoaming agents, can
cause the following:

– deposits in the wash compartment,
– deposits on the wash load,
– damage to the elastomer and plastic

components of the lab washer,

– attack certain plastics (e.g.

polycarbonates, plexiglass, etc.) in
the wash load.

The process parameters of the wash

–

program, e.g. metering temperature,
metering concentration, etc. must be
set so that the overall process
creates little or no foam.

Observe the instructions of the

–

manufacturer of the processing
chemicals.

– Use antifoaming agents only in

exceptional cases or when they are
absolutely necessary for the process.

– Periodic cleaning of the wash

compartment and accessories
without a load and without an
antifoaming agent using the
ORGANICA program (if available).

Consult a Miele Applications Specialist.

Effects of Processing Chemicals

Soiling

Effects Action

The following substances can damage
the elastomer components (hoses and
seals) and, in some cases, the plastic
components of the lab washer:

oils, waxes, aromatic and

–

unsaturated hydrocarbons,
softeners,

–

cosmetics, hygiene and skin care

–

products such as creams (analysis
and filling sections).

The following substances can cause
excessive foaming during washing and
rinsing:

– agents such as disinfection agents,

dish detergents, etc.

– reagents for analysis, e.g. for

microtitration plates,

– cosmetics, hygiene and skin care

products such as creams (analysis
and filling sections).

–

foaming substances in general, for
instance tensides.

Retrofit the lab washer with more

–

grease-resistant elastomers.
Depending on what the lab washer is

–

used for, periodically wipe the lower
door seal with a lint-free cloth or
sponge.
Clean the wash compartment and
accessories without a load using the
ORGANICA program.

To process the load, use the

–

program "OIL" (if available) or use the
special program with metering of
tenside cleaners..

– First rinse the load with a sufficient

quantity of water.

– Select a wash program with one or

more short pre-rinses with cold or
warm water.

– Taking the specific application into

account, add an antifoaming agent,
one without silicone oils if possible.

The following substances can cause
corrosion of the stainless steel in the
wash compartment and accessories:

–

hydrochloric acid,

–

other substances that contain
chloride, e.g. sodium chloride, etc.

–

conc. sulphuric acid,

–

chromic acid,

–

iron particles.

32

–

First rinse the load with a sufficient
quantity of water.

–

Let the load drip dry before putting it
on the carts, baskets and inserts and
placing in the lab washer.

Effects of Processing Chemicals

Reactions between processing chemicals and soils

Effects Action

Natural oils and greases can be
saponified with alkaline processing
chemicals. This may cause a lot of
foaming.

In combination with alkaline processing
chemicals, loads with soiling that
contains proteins, e.g. blood, can
cause excessive foaming.

In combination with very acidic or
alkaline processing chemicals, base
metals such as aluminum, magnesium
and zinc can release hydrogen
(detonating gas).

Use the program OIL (if available).

–

Use the special program with dosing

–

of tenside cleaners (neutral pH) for
pre-rinsing.

Taking the specific application into

–

account, add an antifoaming agent,
one without silicone oils if possible.

Select a wash program with one or

–

more short pre-rinses with cold
water.

– Observe the instructions of the

manufacturer of the processing
chemicals.

Plumbing

Connecting the water inlet

Water in the machine is not

,

suitable for drinking.

The machine must be connected to

–

the water supply in accordance with
local and national regulations.

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").

Do not cut or damage the inlet hose
in any way.

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.

Please also refer to the installation
diagram.

Connection to the drainage system
and disposal of waste water must
comply with local and national
regulations.

The drainage system is fitted with a

–

non-return valve which prevents
waste 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 your Miele application
specialist for advice.
The on-site connection needs to be
between 2 ft. (0.6 m) and 3 ft 3" (1 m)
high measured from the lower edge

of the machine.

If the connection is deeper than 1 ft.
(0.3 m), lay the drain hose ensure the
hose runs at least 1 ft. (0.3 m) high.
The drainage system must
accommodate a minimum flow rate
of 16 l/min.

–

The flexible drain hose is 4 ft 7
(1.4 m) long. The clearance is
(22 mm). Do not cut the drain hose.
Hose clamps for installation are
enclosed.
