and standards.
4
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.
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. Wear
protective gloves and goggles. The
manufacturer’s safety conditions must
be observed at all times.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The lab washer is only designed to
~
operate with water and the
recommended processing chemicals.
The machine must NOT be operated
with organic solvents or flammable
liquids. This may cause an explosion or
damage to rubber and plastic
components, which in turn allows liquid
substances to leak out.
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 toxic chemical substances can
~
form in the wash water during
processing (e.g. aldehydes in the
disinfection agent), the door seal and, if
applicable, the function of the steam
condensor must be checked regularly.
In that case, opening the lab washer
door during a program interruption can
be dangerous.
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.

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.
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.
Use of a chemical disinfectant at
~
moderate temperatures (for example
149°F / 65°C or lower) do NOT fulfill the
official requirements for disinfection
pursuant to FDA regulations. Always
note their specifications for handling,
application conditions and efficacy. The
operator is responsible for the use of
any such thermo-chemical processes.
The process must be set so that no
~
foam escapes the wash compartment.
Escaping foam jeopardizes the safe
operation of the lab washer.
The process must be checked
~
regularly in order to detect any
foaming.
In order to prevent damage to the
~
lab washer and any accessories
through processing chemicals or dirt as
well as any interaction between them,
see "Effects of Processing Chemicals".
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.
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.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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).
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.
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.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Please note the following symbols on
the machine:
Caution : See the Operating
Instructions!
Caution : Danger of electric
shock!

Function of the laboratory glassware washer
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.
