 A damaged or leaking machine could be dangerous and
compromise your safety. Disconnect the machine from the mains
immediately and call the Miele Service Department.
 Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.
 Only use chemical agents which have been approved by their
manufacturer for use in the application you are using. The chemical
agent manufacturer is responsible for any negative influences on the
material the load is made from and for any damage they may cause
to the machine.
 Take care when handling chemical agents. These may contain
irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the chemical agent manufacturer's safety instructions
and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
 The machine is designed for operation with water and
recommended additive chemical agents only. Organic solvents and

 The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.
 Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control
panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn
off.
 Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
machine to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.
 Be careful when sorting items with sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the machine that you do not hurt yourself or
create a danger for others.
 Broken glass can result in serious injury when loading or
unloading. Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.
 When using this machine in the higher temperature ranges, be
especially careful not to scald or burn yourself or come into contact
with irritant substances when opening the door. Where disinfecting
agents are used there is a danger of inhaling toxic fumes.
15
 Should personnel accidentally come into contact with toxic
vapours or chemical agents, follow the emergency instructions given
in the manufacturer's safety data sheets.
 Mobile units, baskets, modules, inserts and the load must be
allowed 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 or near vicinity with a water hose or a
pressure washer.
 The machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
Quality assurance
The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards when processing laboratory glassware and
utensils to avoid damage to the loads being cleaned.
 If it is necessary to interrupt a programme in exceptional
circumstances, this may only be done by authorised personnel.
 The standard of cleaning and disinfection must be routinely
confirmed by the user. The process should be validated on a regular
basis, and checked against documented control results.
 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
reprocessing and are in good condition. Plastic items must be
thermally stable. Nickel plated items and aluminium items can be
machine processed using special procedures only.
Items containing iron, and soiling containing residual rust must not be
placed in the cabinet.
 Chemical agents can, in certain circumstances, cause damage to
the machine. Always follow the recommendations of the chemical
agent manufacturer.
In case of damage or doubt about compatibility, please contact
Miele.
 Chlorous cleaning agents can damage the elastomers of the
machine.
If chlorous cleaning agents have to be used, a maximum temperature
of 70 °C in the "Main wash" programme blocks is recommended (see
programme chart).
Chlorous cleaning agents must not be used in machines supplied (ex
works) with special oil-resistant elastomers for oil and grease
applications.
16
 Abrasive substances must not be placed in the machine as they
could cause damage to the mechanical components of the water
supply. Any residues of abrasive substances on items to be washed
must be removed without trace before reprocessing in the machine.
 Pre-treatments with cleaning or disinfecting agents can create
foam, as can certain types of soiling and chemical agents. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the cleaning and disinfection result.
 Processes must be set up such that foam cannot escape from the
wash cabinet. It would hinder the correct functioning of the machine.
 The process used must be monitored on a regular basis by the
supervisor to check foaming levels.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the machine and any accessories
used with it caused by chemical agents, soiling and any reaction
between the two please read the notes in "Chemical processes and
technology".
 Where a chemical agent 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 a chemical agent it is essential that the manufacturer's
instructions are followed. The chemical agent must only be used for
the application it is designed for and in the situation specified, to
avoid material damage and such dangers as a severe explosive
chemical reaction (e.g. an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
 Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage
and disposal of chemical agents.
 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 chemical agents, water quality etc. are discussed
with the Miele Application Technology specialists.
 If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent
requirements, a regular quality control test should be carried out by
the user to ensure that required standards of cleanliness are being
achieved.
 The mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the load
must be used only as intended.
Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.
 Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh
tray for small items, so that they do not block the spray arms.
 Empty any containers or utensils before loading them.
17
 The amount of residual solvents and acids on items going into the
cabinet should be minimal.
There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash
point of below 21 °C.
 Chlorous solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
 Ensure that solutions or steam containing chlorides or hydrochloric
acid do not come into contact with the stainless steel outer casing of
the machine in order to avoid any damage through corrosion.
 After any plumbing work the water pipework to the machine will
need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
 The gaps between a built-in machine and adjacent cabinetry must
not be filled e.g. with silicone sealant as this could compromise the
ventilation to the circulation pump.
 Follow the installation instructions in the operating and installation
instructions.
Safety with children

 Children must be supervised in the vicinity of the machine. Do not
allow children to play with the machine. They could get locked inside
it.
 Children must not use the machine.
 Keep children away from chemical agents. These can cause
burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Keep children away from the machine when the door is
open. There could still be residual chemical agent in the cabinet.
Observe the safety data sheets for the chemical agent and seek
medical advice immediately if a child has swallowed chemical agent
or got it in the eyes.
Using accessories
 Only Miele accessories should be connected to this machine. They
must be suitable for the application they are required for. Consult
Miele for details on the type of accessories that can be used.
 Only use Miele mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts with this
washer-disinfector. Using mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts
made by other manufacturers, or making modifications to Miele

Water softener
Water hardness
In order to achieve good cleaning results, the machine needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on the load and in the machine.
Mains water with a water hardness of 0.7 mmol/l (4 °dH) must be
softened. This occurs automatically in the built-in water softener.
The water softener must be set to the exact hardness of the mains
water (see "Water softener/Setting the water hardness").
Your local water authority will be able to tell you the exact degree of
hardness in the mains water supply.
For future servicing it is useful to make a note of your water
hardness level. Enter your water hardness level here:
________________________mmol/l or °dH
The water softener must be reactivated at regular intervals. This
requires special reactivation salt (see "Water softener/Filling the salt
reservoir"). Reactivation is carried out automatically during a
programme sequence.
If the hardness level of your water is constantly less than 0.7 mmol/
l (= 4 °dH), salt is not required for the water softener. The water
hardness level must, however, still be set.

Preparing the load
 Only items which have been declared by their manufacturer as
suitable for machine reprocessing may be processed. The
manufacturer's specific reprocessing instructions must be
observed.
Special injector nozzles, irrigation sleeves or adapters may be

required for appropriate internal cleaning, depending on the load.
These, together with other accessories, are available from Miele.
– Arrange the load so that water can access all surfaces. This
ensures that it gets properly cleaned.
– Do not place items to be cleaned inside other pieces where they
may be concealed.
– Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.
– Ensure that items with long narrow hollow sections can be flushed
through properly before placing them in a fitting or when
connecting them to a water connection.
– Hollow containers should be inverted and placed in the correct
mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts, to ensure that water
can flow in and out of them unrestricted.
– Deep-sided items should be placed at an angle to make sure water
runs off them freely.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items should be placed in the centre of the
baskets or mobile units. This ensures better water coverage.
– Take apart any items which can be dismantled according to the
manufacturer's instructions and process the individual parts
separately from each other.
– Lightweight items should be secured with a cover net (e.g. a A 6)
and small items placed in a mesh tray to prevent them blocking the
spray arms.
– The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or
which hang down in their path.
– Broken glass can result in serious injury when loading or unloading.
Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.
– Nickel and chrome-plated items, and items made of aluminium,
require special procedures and are not generally suitable for
machine reprocessing. They require special processing conditions.
– With items which are made entirely or partly of plastic, observe the
maximum thermal stability for the items and select an appropriate
programme or adjust the temperature of the programme.
Observe the further information given in the following sections as
necessary depending on area of application.

 Secure small items, such as stoppers and taps in suitable baskets

for small items.
It may be necessary in individual cases to check whether extremely
stubborn contamination e.g. vacuum grease, paper labels, etc. which
could affect the cleaning result, must be removed in advance.
It must be determined whether wash load items which are
contaminated with microbiological material, pathogenic germs,
facultative pathogenic bacteria, genetically modified material etc.
need to be sterilised prior to machine reprocessing.
41
Carry out a visual check before starting every programme:
– Is everything correctly loaded/connected for cleaning?
– Was the recommended loading template followed?
– Can the lumen / narrow sections of hollow items be accessed by
the wash fluid?
– Are the spray arms clean and do they rotate freely?
– Are the filters clean?
Remove any coarse soiling and clean them if necessary.
– Are the removable modules, injector nozzles, irrigation sleeves and
other rinsing fittings securely connected?
– Are the baskets and modules or mobile units correctly connected to
the water supply and are the water connectors undamaged?
– Are all chemical containers sufficiently filled?
The following must be checked at the end of every programme:
– Carry out a visual check of the load for cleanliness.
– Check that all hollow items are still securely located on their injector
nozzles.
 Any hollow items that have become disconnected from their
fittings during reprocessing must be reprocessed.
– Check that the lumen of hollow items are free of obstruction.

– Check that injector nozzles and connectors are securely held in
position in the baskets or inserts.

Adding and dispensing chemical agents
Using chemical agents
 Only use chemical agents designed specifically for use in the
machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions on their
application.
Please observe carefully any instructions relating to non-toxic
residues.
 Caution when using chemical agents. Some agents may be

corrosive and irritant.
The relevant safety regulations and the chemical agent
manufacturer's safety data sheets must be observed.
Wear protective goggles and gloves.
Contact Miele for information about suitable chemical agents.
Highly viscous (thick) chemical agents can affect the dispenser

monitoring and lead to inaccurate data. In this instance please
contact Miele Service for advice.
Dispensing systems
The machine is equipped with a number of internal dispensing
systems for chemical agents:
– Neutralisation agent
This is dispensed using a siphon.
– Liquid detergent
This is dispensed via a siphon.
An additional internal dispensing system can be fitted retrospectively
by Miele Service if required.
Labelling the Liquid chemical agents from external containers are dispensed by
siphons siphons. Colour coding the siphons can be helpful for correct
dispensing.
Miele use and recommend the following:
– Blue: for cleaning agent
– Red: for neutralising agent
– Green: for chemical disinfection agents or
an additional second cleaning agent
– White: for acidic chemical agent
– Yellow: for free choice
48
Neutralising agent
Neutralising agent (pH setting: acidic) neutralises any residues of
alkaline cleaning agents on the surface of the load.
Neutralising agent is dispensed automatically in the Interim rinse
phase after the main wash (see Programme charts). The reservoir
must be filled and the dispensing system vented for this to occur.
In the Inorganic programme neutralising agent is dispensed
additionally for an acidic pre-wash.
Replenishing  Open the drawer in the side unit.

neutralising agent
 Remove the neutralising agent container (red marking) and place it
on the open cabinet door or on a surface which is robust and easy
to clean.
 Unscrew and remove the siphon. Place the siphon on the open
cabinet door.
 Replace the empty container with a full one.
 Push the siphon into the opening of the container and screw it back
on tightly. Observe the colour coding.
 Wipe up any spilled chemical agent thoroughly.
 Place the container back in the drawer in the side cabinet.
 Close the drawer. Ensure that the dispensing tubes and cables are
not kinked or trapped.
 The dispensing system must then be vented (see "Settings /DOS

Dispensing For adjusting the dispensing concentration, see "Further settings/

neutralising agent Dispensing systems".
50
Cleaning agent
 Use only cleaning agent which is suitable for washer-
disinfectors.
Do not use cleaning agents for domestic dishwashers.
The washer-disinfector is designed exclusively for use with liquid

cleaning agent. The liquid cleaning agent is dispensed from an
external supply container via a siphon.
For environmental reasons it is important to always consider the
following factors when selecting a cleaning agent:
– How alkaline does the cleaning agent need to be for the cleaning
application involved?
– Are protein-removing enzymes required and is the programme
sequence suitable for this?
– Are tensides required for proper dispersal and emulsification?
– Is a cleaning agent containing active chlorine required or can a
detergent without active chlorine be used?
 Chlorous cleaning agents can damage plastics and elastomers
in the machine.
If the use of cleaning agents containing chlorine is required, a
maximum temperature of 75 °C in the "Detergent dosage"
programme blocks is recommended (see programme overview).
Chlorous cleaning agents must not be used in machines supplied
ex-works with special oil-resistant elastomers for oil and grease
applications!
For cleaning specific types of soiling, and for information on the

optimum cleaning agents and additives to use for liquid dispensing,
please contact Miele Service.

Spray arm The cleaning result depends on the wash water reaching all surfaces
monitoring and cavities of the wash load. To do this the wash water is distributed
throughout the wash cabinet by the rotation of the machine, basket
and mobile unit spray arms.
It is possible to monitor the rotation speed of the spray arms during a
programme.
The rotation speed is determined using special magnetic spray
arms. The sensors of this machine cannot detect the magnetic spray
arms of older basket and mobile unit models, and therefore these
cannot be monitored.
If the rotation speed detected is not within a preset range, this is an
indication of blockage due to loading errors or build-up of foam in the
water circulation system.
The rotation speed range depends on the area of application, the
programme and the mobile unit or basket used.

Measuring Electrical conductivity in a water based solution is a measure of the

conductivity total amount of dissolved conductive substances (e.g. salts, acids,
etc.).
The electrical conductivity during the final rinse phase is relevant for
the processing result. Salts and deposits in the water remain on the
wash load after drying.
High conductivity in this phase can limit the intended use of
processed wash load items.
The conductivity of water used is affected by insufficient / varying
quality at the outset, caused by e.g.,
– an empty water softener and / or demineralisation cartridge
(optional accessory),
– a ruptured membrane in the reverse osmosis unit (optional
accessory),
– on-site work on the water supply,
– transposed plumbing connections after maintenance work,
Possible causes for carry-over of conductive substances from
previous wash blocks are e.g.:
– residual used water,
– residual initial contamination,
– residual chemical agents,
– properties of items being processed, e.g. hollow,
– type of load,
– foam.
The conductivity of the final rinse phase is the total of the
conductivity of water used in water inflow and the carry-over of
conductive substances from the previous wash blocks.
The machine's conductivity meter monitors the conductivity of the
wash water. Non-conductive substances, e.g. non-ionic tensides are
not detected by the sensor.

Process documentation
Documenting processes
Processes are documented per cycle. Required and actual values are
always recorded.
During a programme sequence the following data is recorded, among
other things:
– Machine type and serial no,
– Date
– Programme start and programme name
– Cycle number
– Blocks used
– Dispensing system, dispensing temperature and required
dispensing quantity
– Required values for temperatures and exposure times
– Maximum and minimum temperature during exposure time
– Wash pressure measuring results
– All error messages
– End of programme
– System messages, e.g. refill salt
Further data can be incorporated into the report as required. Contact
Miele for more information on this.
Memory Depending on scale, between 10 and max. 20 cycle reports are
stored in an internal power failure safe memory within the machine. In
the event of e.g. network or printer problems these can be
subsequently recalled. If the memory is full, the oldest report is
overwritten.
Raw data for a graphic output of process data from the last
programme is also stored. These can be converted into graphics by
external documentation software. The transmission of raw data
requires an Ethernet interface. Graphic representations in the display
or as output to a directly connected printer are not possible. There is
no power failure safe memory for graphic information.
Adding cycle Miele Service can add subsequent cycle numbers, e.g. in the event of
numbers software updates or if the machine controls are replaced.
118
Communication module for external archiving
A module slot is integrated into the back of the machine for a Miele
communication module to permanently archive cycle reports. The
module enables the installation of an Ethernet interface for
documentation using documentation software or an RS-232 interface
for connection to a report printer.
Please contact Miele for further information on software and suitable
printers.
Only use terminal devices (PC, printers etc.) which comply with EN/
IEC 60950.
The communication modules are available from Miele as an

accessory and can be retrofitted at any time. The modules are
supplied with their own installation instructions.
The interface must only be configured by suitably qualified and
competent persons. Follow the instructions in "Further settings/
Interface".
Process documentation using external software

For digital archiving the process data is transmitted to external
documentation software via an Ethernet interface. Transmission can
optionally occur continuously during the process or as a single
transaction at the end of the process. The settings for this are
modified by Miele Service.
Information on wash pressure, A0 value, conductivity and temperature
in the wash cabinet can be archived graphically if required.
Installation of an Ethernet interface requires the retrospective fitting of
an XKM 3000 L Med communication module.
For connection to a WLAN network the module can be connected via
a cable to an existing wireless access point.
Problems with If there is a network problem during a running process, e.g. due to a
data transmission loose cable, a relevant fault message is displayed.
Network down
The process running will be continued without interruption and the

process data will be saved in the meantime in the internal memory.
In the event of network or report software problems contact your
system or network administrator.
119
Process documentation using a report printer
Process reports are printed via a directly connected report printer and
archived on paper. Graphic representations are not included. An
XKM RS232 10 Med communication module is required for direct
connection.
Report formats You can choose from two different report formats for paper archiving:
– In long format all recorded data is included.
– Short format includes only selected parameters.
The report format has no effect on the data stored in the washer-
disinfector. All the data required for a long report is stored, so the
report format can be changed for each new cycle.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the machine against
transportation damage. The packaging materials used are selected
from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and
should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials.
They also contain specific materials, compounds and components,
which were essential for their correct function and safety. These
could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly.
Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection /

recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact
your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible (by law,
depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to
disposal.
