such as detergents, wetting agents, or neutralizing agents. These may contain irritant or corrosive ingredients, acids or alkalis. Never use any or ganic solvent, as the danger of an ex plosion exists.

Follow all safety instructions. Wear

protective gloves and goggles.

Dot not install the machine in an area where a danger of explosion

may be present.

The machine should be installed,

repaired and maintained by an au thorized Miele Service technician. Re pairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The water in the machine must not

be used as drinking water.

Do not sit or lean on the open door,

or rest objects on it. This could cause the machine to tip and be dam aged.

Be careful when sorting items with

sharp pointed ends. Position them in the machine so that you do not hurt yourself or create a danger for other operators.

When using this machine at tem

peratures between 158 °F and 203 °F (70 °C and 95 °C) be especially careful not to scald or burn yourself. Baskets and inserts must first cool down. Any water which may remain in containers will be very hot and should be emptied into the wash cabinet.

At the end of the drying cycle open

the door to allow the wash load and inserts to cool down.

Do not touch the heating elements

during or directly after the end of a program. You could burn yourself.

Never use a hose or steam cleaner

on or near the machine.

When disposing of an old machine,

first make it unusable. Disconnect the power cord and cut off the plug. For environmental and safety reasons en sure the machine is completely drained of any residual water and cleaning agent. Make the door lock inoperative, so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in.

The following points should be ob served to avoid damage to the IR 6001 and the loads being cleaned.

Use only cleaning agents formu

lated for special processes and approved by Miele for use with this ma chine. Use of unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect the load or the machine. See the enclosed pam phlet for recommended detergents.

When a chemical additive is rec

ommended, the manufacturer of the machine takes no responsibility for the effect of the chemical on the mate rial of the items being cleaned. Please be aware of changes in formulation, storage conditions, concentrations, etc., which may not be publicized by the chemical producer, can have a negative effect on the cleaning result.

The machine is designed for oper-

ation with water and cleaning agents only. Organic solvents must not be used in the machine, as the danger of explosion exists under certain cir cumstances. Although this is not the case with all organic solvents, other problems could arise with their use, for example damage to rubber and syn thetic materials.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In critical applications where strin

gent requirements have to be met, it is strongly recommended that all pro cess parameters, such as cleaning agent or quality of water, are discussed with the Miele Application Technology specialists.

If the clean objects are subject to

particularly stringent requirements (e.g. chemical analysis, industrial pro cesses), a regular quality control test should be carried out by the user to en sure that required standards of cleanli ness are being achieved.

Do not allow any remains of acids,

solvents, or chloride solutions to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly, avoid any materials with a corrosive effect. Their presence as compounds in any solvents should be minimal (especially those in hazard class A1).

To avoid corrosion, ensure that so-

lutions or steam containing acid salts do not come into contact with the outer steel casing of the machine.

Do not use any cleaning agent

which adheres to file dust or filings. Depending on the type and shape of the file dust, this could damage the cir culation pump, or cause contact corro sion.

Empty any containers before load ing them into the IR 6001.

Use special inserts in accordance with the instructions provided.

Waste water must be discharged in

accordance with national and local water regulations. Consult your local water authority. Where discharge is in direct, ensure that the waterborne resi dues do not exceed statutory limits.

Only equipment made or autho

rized by Miele should be con nected to this machine. Consult Miele on the type and application of such equipment.

A second set of Safety Instructions suitable for posting can be found in the centerfold.

Description of the machine

Applications

The Industrial Cleaner is designed for specialized sectors of industrial high technology production, where a consis tently high standard of cleaning is re quired, and where the structure of the items to be cleaned may be complex.

Areas of application are:

Electronics, such as circuit boards

–

and solder frames Metal cleaning

–

Optics

– – Particle decontamination

Cleaning process

The Industrial Cleaner works on the principle of fresh water circulation. The bath time for cleaning and rinsing is approx. 20-30 minutes. Drying is effected by means of an integrated drying unit. A period of 15 to 45 minutes must be added to the above time to thoroughly dry the batch, depending on the heat retention capacity of the items in the load and the amount of water re maining.

Water recycling

The IR 6001 comes equipped with a two stage drainage system, and a pump to bring rinse water back into the

machine, enabling it to be re-used. Rinse water which is still quite clean, for example from the final rinse, can be di rected into an external holding tank and be fed back into the machine for the fol lowing pre-wash or main wash cycle. The holding tank does not come with the machine, and must be supplied on-site. The water from the pre-wash and main wash is normally discharged into the waste water system, or into an effluent treatment plant. The separate booklet "MCU Program Summary" explains how to program this feature.

The machine can be programmed, and a variety of baskets and inserts used, depending on specific needs.

Special cleaning programs can be writ ten for individual applications.

Description of the machine

MCU-control

The Industrial Cleaner is controlled by a micro computer unit. This ensures maintenance of wash process stan dards by displaying the current stage of the process, or an error message if there is a fault. The controls can be programmed for a range of individual applications; for ex ample, time, temperature, water quality, dispensing to various liquid detergents and additives. This enables the user to adapt the process to individual require ments. With a large memory capacity, up to 64 different programs can be stored and the selected according to the load to be cleaned. Different keys are used with the key switch to restrict access to the operating and programming options. The control unit has two serial interfaces to allow wash parameters to be monitored or documented through the use of a printer or PC (not supplied). Should your needs change, or the machine be needed for other applications, different programs can be designed with the help of Miele.

First Use

Setting the water hardness

Before using the machine for the first time the regeneration parameters must be set by the service technician ac cording to the local water hardness level (see MCU operating and program ming manual).

The local water authority can advise you of the water hardness in the area.

Loading and unloading

Press the door release button and, at

the same time, grasp the grip rail and open the door.

^ Load the items into their respective

baskets and inserts.

See pages on the individual applications for details on loading the machine.

Automatic coupling

The machine is supplied as standard with an automatic spring-loaded coupling for either the upper basket or a mobile unit.

Make sure the spring loaded cou pling engages correctly when a bas ket, injector or mobile unit is inserted into the machine, it should be higher than the water inlet in the roof of the cabinet. If it is not, adjust the adapter by:

Loosening the lock ring.

Pushing up the adapter (

than the water connection inlet) and re-tightening the lock ring.

Removing the upper basket

When the lower basket is being used alone for large items such as solder frames, the large spray arm supplied with the machine should be attached the water inlet on the roof of the cabi net.

Remove the upper basket by pulling

it forward to the stop position, lifting it up to the front, and then out of the wash cabinet.

^ Unscrew the small upper spray arm

retainer and remove the small upper spray arm.

^ Install the large upper spray arm with

its threaded spindle flange.

Important

Please note that only top baskets, mobile units or injector nozzle should be coupled without a spray arm. For other applications the small spray arm should be re-installed.

Electronics

Populated circuit boards and solder frames require cleaning that takes into account product specifications and the soldering processes used.

Circuit boards

Circuit boards can be cleaned of resin residues in the machine. The results depend on the type of flux used. For in dividual application, Miele recommends consultation with cleaning technology advisors. Cleaning is generally per formed with tenside additives (0.5 -

0.7% at 149 °F - 167 °F (65 °C - 75 °C)). The wash/rinse process consists of several stages and purified ion-free water is used throughout (DI-water).

For surface mount or hybrid technology, the use of water soluble soft solder paste is recommended. A high standard of cleaning can then be achieved by using water and variable temperature washes. This also applies to integrated circuit boards. The time for a cleaning program is approx. 30 minutes for the wash phase and 40 - 50 minutes for the drying phase, depending on the structural complexity and volume of the load.

Applications Electronics

Top basket O 500-10

Baskets designed for circuit boards are made of plastic coated stainless steel. These are the O 500-10 top basket and U 500-10 bottom basket, which to gether can hold 73 PCBs.

Bottom basket U 500-10

Applications Electronics

Solder frames

Depending on the type of soil, an alka

line cleaning agent at a low concentra tion of 0.3 - 0.5%, a neutralization agent or wetting agent (0.1%), is used.

With aluminum solder frames, using de-ionized water (either throughout or in the final rinse, depending on quality standard required) reduces the risk of damage to the material, which may be adversely affected by non-purified water after prolonged use.

Example: W 16

8 solder frames (L 1811/16" x

/32" x D 131/32") (L 475 mm x W 430 mm x D 45 - 50 mm) can be cleaned and dried in the machine within 30 minutes if operated with a hot water intake of 149 °F (65 °C).

Applications Metal Cleaning

Cleaning metal

The machine can be used for cleaning products requiring degreasing, removal of dust or polishing/grinding paste, or pre-treatment before painting or galva nizing.

Cleaning agents and wash parameters can be selected according to the prop erties of the iron, steel or non-ferrous metal. A test wash is advisable with pol ishing/grinding pastes to identify the most suitable cleaning processes.

A final rinse with de-ionized water is of ten necessary, especially with non-ferrous metals, to achieve the cleaning result required.

Make sure that no file dust or

other fillings, (from drilling, milling etc), especially from iron based materials, are introduced into the machine.

The upper basket O-188 and lower basket U 874 are recommended as a basic basket set for the machine.

Applications Particle Decontamination

Particle decontamination

The IR 6001 offers exceptional cleaning results and is recommended for particle decontamination of chip boxes, wafer trays, drainers, fitting racks, computer components etc. Decontamination is accomplished with the addition of a minimal amount of a special cleaning agent in a purely aqueous system, with out the addition of solvents. In these applications the cleaning process is carried out using de-ionized water throughout the wash-program.

Miele offers a wide variety of inserts for different applications, not all of which can be shown here. Please contact Miele for details of other inserts available.

Reactivating the water softener

Before using the machine for the first time, the MCU must be set by the servi ce technician to reactivate the water softener according to the local water hardness level (see Operating and pro gram manual). The local water authority can advise you of the water hardness in the area.

When, after a number of wash cycles, the message REGENERIER (REGEN ERATE) appears in the display, the built-in water softener is depleted and cannot supply any more soft water. It must therefore be reactivated with re generate salt immediately after the program has ended.

If this cannot be done immediately and further batches have been washed, the reactivation process must be carried out twice in succession.

For each reactivation program you will need:

The salt container must only be

filled with salt! Filling the salt container with any thing but salt, such as detergent,

could cause pressure to build in the salt container resulting in harm (chemical burns, physical injury) to the operator.

To fill the salt container

– 4.4 lbs. (2 kg) reactivation salt (gran-

ule size must be 1-4 mm).

–

The plastic salt container supplied as standard equipment with the ma chine.

Please note Never use rock salt as the dirt parti cles it contains will block the water softener unit. Reactivation salt with granules smaller than 1 mm or larger than 4 mm must not be used.

Unscrew and remove the filter insert from the salt container.

Fill the salt container with granular salt and replace the filter insert.

Reactivating the water softener

To insert salt container

Remove the bottom basket from the

wash cabinet.

^ Unscrew the plastic cap in the base

of the wash cabinet.

Close the door.

Turn on the faucets (water supply).

Select program 15 REGENERIER

(Regenerate/Reactivate). See "Turn ing on".

The reactivation program proceeds au tomatically and is finished when the l indicator light goes out.

Then:

Turn off the machine.

Open the door and remove the salt

container.

^ Replace the plastic cap on the

socket at the bottom of the wash cabinet.

^ Replace the lower basket. ^ Rinse the salt container and filter in-

sert under running water.

^ Turn off faucets (water supply).

Place the salt container on the reacti vation socket and screw firmly into place.

The water pressure must be al least 36 psi. If the flow pressure is below 36 psi, salt residues may be left in the salt container. If this is the case, the REGENERIER program must be run again.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet

The wash water passes through a four filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet which consists of:

Coarse filter

–

Fine filter

–

Flat filter

–

Micro-fine filter

– It is important that the filters are kept

clean (otherwise the water overflow sys tem cannot function reliably).

The filter combination has been designed so that most of the soil is collected in the coarse filter.

The coarse filter should be inspected and, if necessary, cleaned after every program.

Glass fragments, needles, pieces of wire etc. may have collected in this filter, and could cause injuries.

Cleaning the coarse filter

^ Press the two tabs inwards and re-

move the filter.

^ Clean the filter. ^ Replace the filter and press until it

clicks into place.

Fine filter

The filer filter is located under the coarse filter. It will trap very small items that are not caught in the coarse filter. Whenever the coarse filter is cleaned, the fine filter should be removed and in spected.

To remove, lift out the fine filter and clean.

Replace the filter by inserting it into the center of the micro-fine filter.

Cleaning the flat and microfine filters

Remove the coarse and fine filters.

^ To unscrew the micro-fine filter, take

hold of the two tabs, turn twice in a counter-clockwise direction and remove together with the flat filter.

Cleaning and Care

^ Clean all the filters. ^ Replace the filter combination se-

curely in the reverse order in which it was removed.

The machine must not be used

without all the filters in place!

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the water inlet filters

Two filters incorporated into the water inlet system protect the valves from particles that may be in the water sup ply. The filters must be cleaned when dirty, or insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet.

Turn off the water valves.

Disconnect the inlet hoses.

Remove the filter housing from the

water valve. Remove the filer insert (1) from the

housing and clean or replace, if necessary. Clean the filter located in the hose connector (2).

^ Reinstall the filters. Connect the

hoses and turn on the valves to test for leaks.

A third filter is located in the solenoid valve and should only be cleaned or replaced by an authorized technician.

Changing the coarse filter

The coarse filter should be changed when dirty or after approximately 100 operating hours ("GROBFILTER" ap pears in the MCU control display).

^ Pull the top of the inlet grill out, then

lift up, off of the retainers, and remove.

Drying unit: Cleaning and Care

^ Change the coarse filter.

The smooth side of the filter should face the rear.

^ Position the perforated plate at the

base and press into place at the top. The edges should face forward.

^ On replacing the inlet grill, it should

click into place.

Take out the perforated plate.

Exchanging the HEPA particle filter

This filter should be replaced every 500 hours, or when "FEINFILTER" is dis played.

This filter should only be changed by an authorized Service technician.

Reproducible operation of the machine can only be achieved if original Miele HEPA particle filters are used.

Correcting minor faults

Repairs should only be under

taken by an authorized technician.

Heater limiter

The IR 6001 is equipped with a thermal breaker which shuts off the heating ele ments if the machine overheats. The breaker reset can be found on the right-hand side behind the service panel.

Symptoms:

The water in the wash cabinet does not heat up; the program cycle takes too long, or the fault message F TEMP is displayed. Overheating can occur if large items cover the heater elements preventing them from transfering heat to the water. It can also occur if the filters in the wash chamber are blocked, or too little water has been taken into the wash chamber.

Remedy:

Isolate and correct the cause of the

problem. Clean the filters in the water inlet.

Reset the heater by:

Removing the service panel and

Pressing the blue reset button on the

heater limiter.

The Miele Technical Service

Dept. should be called if the thermal breaker trips again. USA: 1-800-999-1360 CDN: 1-800-565-6435
