IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
~
The lab washer is only designed to
operate with water and the appropriate
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.
~
Do not sit or lean on an open door.
The machine could tip and be
damaged or cause injury.
~
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
condenser must be checked regularly.
In this event, opening the door of the
lab washer during a program
interruption is particularly hazardous.
~
If you are exposed to toxic vapors or
processing chemicals, consult the
manufacturer's material safety data
sheets for emergency procedures.
~
Mobile units, baskets, inserts and
the load itself must be allowed to cool
before removal. The dispensing parts
should also be drained of any residual
water.
~
After drying with the drying unit,
open the door to allow the load, mobile
unit, baskets and inserts to cool down.
~
Do not touch the heating element if
you open the door at the end of the
program. You may suffer burns even
several minutes after the program has
ended.
~
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
5
The following points should be
observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards and to avoid
damage to the loads being cleaned.
~
Only authorized persons may
interrupt a program, and only in
exceptional cases.
~
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.
~
If the machine is being used for
disinfection ordered by the authorities,
the steam condenser and its
connections to the rinsing chamber and
outlet discharge must be disinfected
before any repair or exchange.
~
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.
~
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
~
If the cleaning result is subject to
particularly stringent requirements
(e.g. chemical analysis), 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).
~
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.
~
After work on the mains water
supply, the water supply line to the
machine must be vented.
Machine components may otherwise be
damaged.
~
Please follow the installation advice
in these instructions and the separate
Installation Instructions.
Using accessories
~
Only Miele accessories 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.
Please note the following symbols on
the machine:
Caution : See the Operating
Instructions!
Caution : Danger of electric
