IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Broken glass can result in serious injury during loading or unload-
ing. Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.
When operating the washer-disinfector, bear in mind the possibility
of high temperatures. If the door is opened while bypassing the safety
lock, there is a danger of burning, scalding and 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.
Mobile units, baskets, modules, inserts and the load must be al-
lowed 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 be-
fore any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
Quality assurance
The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards when processing medical instruments and de-
vices, in order to protect patients, and to 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 standard of cleaning and disinfection in the disinfection pro-
grams must be routinely confirmed by the user.
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 reprocess-
ing 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.
Under certain circumstances, process chemicals can result in
damage to the machine. Users are urged to follow the recommenda-
tions issued by manufacturers of process chemicals.
Contact Miele Service in the event of damage and any suspicion of
material incompatibility.
Instrument care products based on paraffin oils (white oils) can
damage the elastomers and plastics of the washer-disinfector. Such
care products may not be dispensed as chemical agents in these
washer-disinfectors even if they are recommended for machine use
by the instrument care product manufacturer.
