Warning and safety instructions
Where a chemical additive is re- commended on technical grounds
(e.g. with a cleaning agent), this does not imply that the manufacturer of the machine takes responsibility for the compatibility with the items being cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in formu- lation, storage conditions etc., which may not be publicised by the chemical producer, can have a negative effect on the cleaning result.
When using cleaning agents and specialised products, it is essential
that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. Only use the product for the application described by the manufac- turer, to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reac- tions.
The machine is designed only for operation with water and cleaning agents. Organic solvents must not be
used in the machine, as there is the danger under certain circumstances of explosion. (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).
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 cleaning agent, quality of water, etc. are discussed with the Miele Application Technology specialists.
If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent requirements
(e.g. chemical analysis, specialised processes, etc.), a regular quality con- trol test must be carried out by the user to ensure that required standards of cleanliness are being achieved.
The special inserts should only be used for their specific application.
Empty any containers or utensils be- fore arranging them in the machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids or solvents, and in particular hydro-
chloric acid or chloride solutions to ac- cess the wash cabinet. Similarly avoid any materials with a corrosive effect.
The presence in compounds of any sol- vents should be minimal, (especially those in hazard class A1).
Ensure that solutions or steam con- taining acid salts do not come into
contact with the steel outer casing of the machine, to avoid any corrosion damage.
Please follow the advice on installa- tion in these instructions and in the
separate Installation Instructions.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any dam- age which may be caused by cock- roaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
