Warning and Safety instructions
Where a chemical additive is recommended on technical application grounds (e.g. a cleaning agent), this 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 publicised by the chemical manufacturer, can have a negative effect on the cleaning result.
When using cleaning agents and special application products, it is
essential that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. Only use such products for the purpose and in the situation specifed to avoid such dangers as chemical reactions and material damage.
The machine is designed for operation with water and additive
cleaning agents only. Organic solvents must not be used in this machine, as there is the danger under certain circumstances of fire or explosion. (Although this is not the case with all organic solvents, other problems could arise with their use, for example damage to rubber and synthetic 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 agents, water quality etc., are discussed with the Miele Application Technology specialists.
If cleaning and rinsing results are subject to particularly stringent
requirements (e.g. chemical analysis, specialised industrial processes etc.), a regular quality control 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 before arranging them in the
machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids or solvents, and in particular
hydrochloric acid or chloride solutions, to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly avoid any materials with a corrosive effect.
The presence of solvents exceeding trace levels should not be present in soiling (especially those in hazard class A1).
To avoid any corrosion damage, ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not come into contact with the steel outer casing of the machine.
Please follow the advice on installation in these instructions
and the separate Installation Instructions.
