The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed if it is grounded properly. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g. electric shock).

A damaged or leaking machine could be dangerous and compromise your safety. Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply immediately and contact Miele Service.

9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Label machines which have been taken out of operation and lock them to prevent them being switched on again without authorization. The machine may only be put back into operation once it has been successfully repaired by Miele a Miele authorized technician.

As standard, the drain water of the machine will reach temperatures greater than 160 °F (70 °C). At this temperature, drain water can potentially damage the drain system. In order to reduce damage to the drain system, Miele offers an optional drain water cool-down kit.

Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly. Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or its controls.

Only use process chemicals which have been approved by their manufacturer for the relevant application. The manufacturer of the process chemicals is liable for any negative influences on the material of the wash items and the machine.

Use caution when handling process chemicals. These may contain irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.

Please observe the process chemical manufacturer's safety instructions and safety data sheets.

Wear protective gloves and goggles.

The machine is designed for operation with water and recommended additive process chemicals only. Organic solvents and flammable liquid agents must not be used as this could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the machine and cause liquids to leak out of it.

The water in the wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!

Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn off.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the machine to tip and get damaged or cause injury.

Be careful when sorting wash items with sharp, pointed ends. Position them in the machine so that you will not hurt yourself or create a danger for others.

Broken glass can result in serious injury during loading or unloading. Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.

When operating the machine, beware of the high temperatures involved. If you bypass the electrical lock to open the door, there is a risk of scalding or chemical burns.

Should personnel accidentally come into contact with toxic vapors or process chemicals, follow the emergency instructions given in the manufacturer's safety data sheets.

10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Mobile units, baskets, modules, inserts and the load must be allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining in containers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash cabinet before taking them out.

Never clean the machine with a water hose or a pressure washer.

The machine must be disconnected from the electrical supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.

Quality assurance

The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining quality standards when processing laboratory glassware and utensils and avoid damage to the loads being cleaned.

If it is necessary to interrupt a program, as an exception only, this may only be done by authorized personnel.

The cleaning standard must be routinely confirmed by the user. The process should be validated on a regular basis, and checked against documented control results.

For thermal disinfection, use temperatures and temperature holding times to achieve the required infection prophylaxis in accordance with current health and safety regulations.

Make sure items being washed are suitable for machine reprocessing and are in good condition. Plastic items must be thermally stable. Nickel plated items and aluminum items can be machine processed using special procedures only.

Items containing iron, and soiling containing residual rust must not be placed in the cabinet.

Process chemicals can, in certain circumstances, cause damage to the machine. Always follow the recommendations of the process chemical manufacturer.

In case of damage or doubt about compatibility, please contact Miele.

Cleaning detergents containing chlorine can damage the elastomers of the machine.

If the use of process chemicals containing chlorine is required, a maximum temperature of 167°F (75°C) in the “Cleaning” program phases is recommended (see program chart).

In machines equipped with special oil-resistant elastomers (from the factory) for oil and grease applications, cleaning detergents containing chlorine may not be used!

Abrasive substances must not be placed in the machine as they could cause damage to the mechanical components of the water supply. Any residues of abrasive substances on items to be washed must be removed without trace before reprocessing in the machine.

11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-treatments with cleaning agents can create foam, as can certain types of soiling and process chemicals. Foam can have an adverse effect on the cleaning result.

Processes must be set up such that foam cannot escape from the wash cabinet. It would hinder the correct functioning of the machine.

The process used must be monitored on a regular basis by the supervisor to check foaming levels.

To avoid the risk of damage to the machine and its accessories caused by process chemicals, soiling, and any reaction between the two, please read the notes in “Chemical processes and technology”.

Even when a process chemical is recommended on technical application grounds, it does not imply that the manufacturer of the machine accepts liability for the effect of the chemical on the items being cleaned.

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 the cleaning result.

When using process chemicals, always consult the instructions issued by individual manufacturers. Process chemicals must only be used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of very strong chemical reactions, such as an oxyhydrogen explosion.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on storage and disposal of process chemicals.

In critical applications where very stringent requirements have to be met, it is strongly recommended that all the relevant factors for the process, such as process chemicals, water quality, etc., are discussed with Miele.

If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent requirements, e.g., in chemical analysis, regular quality control should be carried out by the operator to ensure that required standards of cleanliness are being achieved.

The mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the wash load must be used only as intended.

Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.

Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh tray for small items, so that they do not block the spray arms.

Empty any containers or utensils before loading them.

The amount of residual solvents and acids on items going into the cabinet should be minimal.

There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash point of below 70°F (21°C).

12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be placed in the cabinet.

Ensure that solutions or steam containing chlorides or hydrochloric acid do not come into contact with the stainless steel outer casing of the machine in order to avoid any damage through corrosion.

After any plumbing work, the water pipework to the machine will need to be primed. If this is not done, components can be damaged.

The gaps between a built-in machine and adjacent cabinetry must not be filled with silicone sealant as this could compromise the ventilation to the circulation pump.

Follow the installation instructions in the operating and installation instructions.

Children in the vicinity

Children must be supervised in the vicinity of the machine. Do not allow children to play with the machine. They could get locked inside it.

Children must not use the machine.

Keep children away from process chemicals. These can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the machine when the door is open. There could still be residual process chemical in the cabinet. Observe the safety data sheets for the process chemical and seek medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed chemical agent or got it in the eyes.
