IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This machine conforms to current safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and property damage. Read the operating instructions carefully before using this machine.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Use
This machine is designed for commercial use and for specialized applications only, as described in these Operating Instructions. Do not use for purposes other than those for which it was designed, as this could be dangerous.
Please pay attention to the following notes to maintain safe procedures.
The machine should be commissioned and maintained only by a Miele Service Technician. Repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Do not install the machine in an area where a danger of explosion or freezing may be present.
Be certain this appliance is properly installed and grounded by an authorized technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system checked by a qualified technician.
This machine in intended for indoor use only.
The installation of this unit in non stationary locations must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations and standards.
A damaged machine is dangerous. Turn off the machine immediately at the power switch and call the Miele Service Department.
Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly. Children and untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or its controls.
4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Take care when handling liquids such as detergents, neutralizing agents, wetting agents and rinse aids. These may contain irritant or corrosive ingredients, acids or alkalis. Never use any organic solvents, as the danger of explosion exists. Wear protective gloves and goggles. The manufacturer’s safety conditions must be observed at all times.
The water in the machine must not be used as drinking water.
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 others.
When using this machine regard the high temperatures and be especially careful not to scald or burn yourself. When opening the door bypassing the electrical lock, a danger of burning, scalding and corrosion exist. Let mobile units, inserts and cleaned items cool before touching them. Any water which may remain in containers will be very hot and must be emptied into the wash cabinet.
If you are exposed to toxic vapors or processing chemicals, consult the manufacturer's material safety data sheets for emergency procedures.
Always allow mobile units, modules, inserts, and loads to cool before removing. Be sure to empty any water from concave items into the wash cabinet before removing.
After drying with the drying unit open the door to allow the items and inserts to cool.
If the pre-heater has been programmed to "Pre-heater standby", be particularly careful of hot water and steam when opening the door. Danger of burning or scalding. The water inlet pipe to the wash cabinet is located, as viewed from the loading side, underneath the basket runner on the left hand side.
Steam heating is permissible up to a pressure of 145 psi. This corresponds to a water steam temperature of 354°F (179 °C).
Never clean the machine near or with a water or high pressure hose.
Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging the unit or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker.
Mount on non-combustible floors only!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining quality standards for critical labware and to avoid damage to the loads being cleaned.
Only use process chemicals that are approved by their manufacturer for the application involved. Any negative effects on labware and the washer itself are the liability of the chemical manufacturer.
If toxic chemicals may be present in the wash cabinet, beware of this risk when interrupting a program and opening the washer. The door seal and steam condensor must always be checked for soundness.
Use only Miele approved cleaning agents with this machine. Use of unsuitable cleaning agents could adversely affect the components of the machine. Damages resulting from using unsuitable cleaning agents are not covered by the warranty.
Pre-treating (e.g. with cleaning agents), certain soiling and cleaning agents with a chemical interaction, can cause foam. For pre-treatment and/or cleaning only use low-sudsing detergents which have been approved by Miele. Suds can have an adverse effect on the operation of the machine.
When a chemical additive is recommended, the manufacturer of the machine takes no responsibility for the effect of the chemical on the items being cleaned.
The machine must only be operated with water and the recommended cleaning agents. Organic solvents must not be used in the machine as there is the danger, under certain circumstances, of explosion and damage to rubber and synthetic materials. Follow the dosage recommendations of the cleaning agent’s manufacturer.
In critical applications where very high requirements have to be met, it is strongly recommended that all the relevant factors for the process, such as cleaning agent, quality of water, etc. are discussed with the Miele Applications Specialists.
If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent requirements (e.g. chemical analysis, specialized processes), a regular quality control
test should be carried out by the user to ensure that the required standards of cleanliness are being achieved.
The mobile units and special inserts should only be used for their specific application.
Empty any containers or utensils before arranging them in the machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids, solvents or corroding ferrous material, 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).
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid any corrosion damage ensure that solutions or steam containing hydrochloric acid do not come in contact with the stainless steel casing of the machine.
Please follow the installation advice in these instructions and the separate Installation Instructions.
Using accessories
Only specific additional equipment made by Miele should be connected to this machine. Consult a Miele Application Specialist on the type and application of such equipment.
Only Miele mobile units, modules and inserts should be used. If equipment from another manufacturer is used, Miele cannot ensure the cleaning results. Damage or injury caused by this are excluded from the warranty.
Disposal of an old appliance
When discarding a labwasher, disconnect it from the power supply and cut off the power cord.
For environmental and safety reasons ensure the machine is completely drained of any residual water and cleaning agent. (Observe safety regulations and wear safety goggles and gloves). Make the door lock inoperative or remove the door completely, so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the safe disposal of the machine.
Machines with a tank system: remove the water from the tank before disposing the machine.

Description of labwasher
The Miele PG 8527/ 8528 Laboratory Glassware Washer is designed for high-throughput, centralized wash areas. This unit is ideal for cleaning both large volumes of small items, and difficult to clean large items.
Typical applications include:
–laboratory equipment for research and production,
–laboratory equipment for analytical and preparation applications,
–microbiology and biotechnology labware,
Labware can include anything from evaporation dishes to centrifuge tubes.
In these operating instructions, the general terms labware and glassware are used to cover a range of laboratory equipment and medical items.
For standardized results, it is preferable to machine-wash lab instruments and equipment.
The cleaning parameters should always be optimally matched to the type of soiling and labware involved.
The processing chemicals used also should be matched to the particular cleaning needs / analysis / analytical methods involved.
