IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining quality standards for critical labware and to avoid damage to the loads being cleaned.
~ 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.
~ If toxic chemicals may be present in
the wash cabinet, beware of this risk when interrupting a program and opening the washer. The door seal and steam condensor must always be checked for soundness.
~ 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.
~ 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.

~ The machine must only be operated
with water and the recommended cleaning agents. Organic solvents must not be used in the machine as there is the danger, under certain circumstances, of explosion and damage to rubber and synthetic materials. Follow the dosage recommendations of the cleaning agent’s manufacturer.
~ 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.
~ If the cleaning result is subject to
particularly stringent requirements (e.g. chemical analysis, specialized processes), 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).

6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~ 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.
~ Please follow the installation advice
in these instructions and the separate Installation Instructions.
Using accessories
~ Only specific additional equipment
made by Miele 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.

Disposal of an old appliance
~ When discarding a labwasher,
disconnect it from the power supply and cut off the power cord. For environmental and safety reasons ensure the machine is completely drained of any residual water and cleaning agent. (Observe safety regulations and wear safety goggles and gloves). Make the door lock inoperative or remove the door completely, so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in.

Automatic mobile unit recognition (AWK)

In operating level C the AWK (optional) attributes a fixed program place to a mobile unit with valid coding. Program places 1-15 are reserved for the AWK automatic mobile unit recognition.
The unit coding (on the mobile unit) and the program place with the corresponding program (in the “Profitronic” electronic control unit) must match.
^ Each mobile unit must be coded before being used for the first time. See “Mobile unit coding”.
^ The wash program through which the mobile unit is coded has to be assigned to the relevant program place.

Mobile unit coding
The automatic mobile unit recognition feature assigns a program place to a mobile unit. The mobile units must be coded with a magnetic strip, via a bit combination. In operating level C the only program available for a coded mobile unit is the one assigned to the corresponding program place.
When a coded mobile unit is inserted in the machine and the door closes, the automatic mobile unit recognition selects the assigned program. Be sure no small items connect to the magnetic strip.
^ Press 6 to start the program.

For program place changes, see the Programming Manual.

Important! Before starting the program with the “Start” button 6, check that the program needed for this mobile unit is displayed. Otherwise insufficient wash results may occur! Always check that programs for mobile units with AWK (on fixed program places) are not exchanged.

The coding is made up of 5 bits:
Bits 1 to 4 define the mobile unit code,
Bit 5 serves as a control (Parity-Bit).
Bit 6 controls the volume of water intake and the circulation pump for mobile units with side coupling. This setting cannot be changed! Mobile units without side coupling are coded with tracks which do not contain Bit 6!

22

Automatic mobile unit recognition (AWK)

Mobile unit coding strip
15 different codes can be set. They are assigned to program places 1 to 15.
Under “System function – Selector switch organization” the matching programs have to be put into the first 15 program places.

Setting mobile unit coding
To set or alter the coding of a mobile unit with automatic recognition (AWK) proceed as follows:

Program place
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Application

Loading tips
Select mobile units, baskets and inserts appropriate for the application.
^ Load the items to be washed so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they will be properly cleaned.
^ Do not place items to be cleaned inside other pieces where they maybe concealed.
^ Hollow vessels such as beakers, measuring cylinders, flasks, etc. should be inverted and placed in the correct inserts so that water can flow in and out unrestricted. A cover net can be used to reduce the risk of movement during the wash process.
^ Use a cover net (e.g. an A 2) or mesh tray to secure small and/or lightweight items to prevent them from blocking the spray arms or being caught in the magnetic strip on the automatic mobile unit recognition system.
^ Deep based items should be placed at an angle to allow water to run off easily.

^ Tall, narrow pieces should be placed in the center of the baskets. This ensures good water coverage.
^ Mobile units with an adapter must engage correctly.
^ Engage inserts correctly into the module carts.
^ The spray arms must not be blocked by tall items or items which hang down in their path. If necessary, manually rotate the arms to test.
^ Petri dishes and the similar should be placed in the correct insert with the soiled side facing the center.
^ Insert pipettes with the pointed end downwards.
^ Quarter inserts should be placed as close to the middle of the unit as possible.
^ Glassware should not stick out of the door area.
