Laboratory Practice guidelines, a Miele service contract is
recommended. Unauthorized repairs can pose considerable risks to
the user.
 Do not install the machine in an area where there is any risk of
explosion or of freezing conditions.
 In order to reduce the risk of water damage, the area around the
machine should be limited to furniture and fittings that are designed
for use in commercial environments.
 If the machine is built under, it must only be installed under a
continuous worktop run which is firmly secured to adjacent units to
improve stability.
 The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when
it is correctly grounded. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
12
 A damaged or leaking machine is dangerous and poses a safety
hazard. Immediately disconnect the machine at the power switch and
contact the Miele Service Department.
 Personnel operating the machine should be trained on a regular
basis. Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the
machine or its controls.
 Only use process chemicals which have been approved by their
manufacturer for the application you are using. The manufacturer of
the process chemicals is responsible for any negative influences on
the material of the load is made from and for any damage they may
cause to the machine.
 Always exercise caution when handling the process chemicals for
this machine. These products may contain irritant, corrosive or toxic
ingredients.
Always comply with safety requirements and the manufacturer's
safety instructions (see safety data sheets)!
Use protective eyewear and gloves!
 The machine is designed to operate with water and the
recommended process chemicals only. Organic solvents or
flammable liquid agents must not be used in it!
This could cause an explosion, property damage due to the
destruction of rubber and plastic components, and the resulting
leakage of liquids.
 The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.
 Take care not to inhale powder cleaning detergents. Swallowing
process chemicals can cause chemical burns in the mouth and throat
or lead to asphyxiation.
 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 or become damaged.
 Be careful when sorting items with sharp, pointed ends. Position
them in the machine so that you will 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.
 The machine can get hot when in use. Be careful not to scald or
burn yourself or come into contact with irritant substances when
opening the door.
 Should personnel accidentally come into contact with toxic
vapours or processing chemicals, consult the manufacturer's safety
data sheets for emergency procedures.
13
 Always allow wash carts, baskets, modules, inserts, and loads to
cool down before unloading. Any water remaining in concave items
could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash cabinet before
taking them out.
 Never clean the machine or surrounding area 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 reprocessing laboratory glassware and
accessories and to avoid damage to the loads being cleaned.
 If it is necessary to interrupt a program in exceptional
circumstances, this may only be done by authorised personnel.
 The standard of reprocessing must be routinely confirmed by the
user. The process should be validated on a regular basis, and
checked against documented control results.
 Make sure items being washed are suitable for machine
processing and are in good condition. Plastic items must be thermally
stable. Nickel plated items and anodised 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 cause
damage to the machine. Always follow the recommendations of the
process chemical manufacturers.
In case of damage or doubt about compatibility, please consult with
Miele.
 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-treating (e.g. with cleaning agents or disinfectants), some
types of soiling and the interaction of certain process chemicals can
cause foaming. Foam can have an adverse effect on the cleaning
result.
 The process must be set so that no foam escapes the wash
compartment. Escaping foam jeopardizes the safe operation of the
machine.
 The process must be checked regularly in order to detect any
foaming.
14
 To prevent material damage to the machine and accessories used
from the effects of process chemicals, soiling and their interaction,
follow the notes in chapter "Chemical Processes and technology".
 Even when a chemical additive (e.g. cleaning chemical) is
recommended on technical application grounds, the machine
manufacturer takes no responsibility for the effect of such chemicals
on the material of the items being cleaned.
Note that formulation changes, storage conditions, etc., that are not
disclosed by the chemical manufacturer may adversely affect the
cleaning results obtained.
 When using process chemicals, always follow the instructions of
the chemical's manufacturer. The process chemicals 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
chemical reaction (e.g. an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
 Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage
and disposal of process chemicals.
 For critical applications, where very stringent reprocessing
requirements have to be met, it is strongly recommended that all
process-related factors (processing chemicals, water quality, etc.) are
discussed in advance with Miele.
 For applications that demand especially stringent cleaning and
rinsing results, the operator must ensure that quality control occurs
on a regular basis to meet the standards involved.
 The carts, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the wash 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 all containers and hollow utensils before loading them into
the machine.
 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.
 Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
placed in the cabinet.
 To avoid corrosive damage, make sure the stainless steel housing
does not come into contact with solutions or steam containing
hydrochloric acid.
 After any plumbing work the water pipework to the machine will
need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
15
 The gaps between a built-in machine and adjacent cabinetry must
not be filled with silicone sealant as this could compromise the
ventilation of the circulation pump.
 Follow the installation instructions in the operating instructions and
in the installation instructions.
Safety with children

 Children must be supervised in the vicinity of the machine. Do not
allow children to play with the machine. Among other hazards, they
could get locked inside it.
 Children must not use the machine.
 Keep children away from process chemicals! 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 process chemicals in the cabinet.
Observe the safety data sheets for the process chemicals and seek
medical advise immediately if a child has swallowed process
chemical or got it in the eyes.
Using accessories
 Only Miele accessories should be connected to this machine for
the appropriate application. Consult Miele for details on the type of
equipment to use.
 Only use Miele wash carts, baskets, modules and inserts with this
machine. Using wash carts, baskets and inserts made by other
manufacturers, or making modifications to Miele accessories can
cause unsatisfactory cleaning results, for which Miele cannot be held
liable. Any resultant damage would not be covered by the warranty.

Water softener
Water hardness
In order to achieve good cleaning results, the machine needs to
operate with soft (low in calcium) water. Hard water results in the
build-up of calcium deposits on the load and the machine.
Mains water with a water hardness of .7 mmol/l (4 gr/gal) 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 can give you information about the exact
water hardness in your area.
It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the
service technician with this information in the event of any
subsequent service calls. For this reason, record the hardness of the
mains water here:
________________________mmol/l or gr/gal
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 program
sequence.
If the hardness level of your water is constantly less than .7 mmol/l
(= 4 gr/gal), salt is not required for the water softener. The water
hardness level must, however, still be set.

Water softener
Filling the salt reservoir
Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt with a granule size
of approx. 1 - 4 mm. Suitable water softener salt is available from
Miele Professional.
Do not under any circumstances use other types of salt such as table
salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives
which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
 Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with cleaning detergent will
cause serious damage to the water softener.
Before filling the salt reservoir make sure that you have picked up
the right package of reactivation salt.
 Open the door to an angle of approx. 45°. This ensures that the salt
flows into the reservoir more easily.
 Press the yellow button with the  symbol on the salt reservoir in
the direction of the arrow. The flap will spring open.
 Lift up the funnel.
The reservoir takes approx. 1.4 - 2 kg (3 - 4.4 lbs) of salt, depending

on the type of salt and how much is remaining in the reservoir.
31
Water softener
 Do not fill the reservoir with water.

The reservoir could overflow when filled with salt.
 Add salt only until the funnel of the salt reservoir is full, so that it
can close properly. Do not add more than 2kg of salt.
As the salt reservoir is being filled, displaced water (saline solution)
may run out.
 Clean any excess salt from the area around the reservoir opening
and especially from the seal. Do not use running water as this can
cause the salt reservoir to overflow.
 Close the reservoir.
 Run the Rinse program after refilling salt.
This will ensure that any traces of salt and saline solution are
dissolved and rinsed away.
Salt and saline solution which has overflowed can cause severe
corrosion damage to the wash chamber if they are not rinsed away.
32

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 vessels 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
basket. This will ensure 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. an 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.
– Items containing iron that can rust or corrode must not be added to
the load or to the wash chamber as contaminated items.

suitable baskets for small parts.
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 sterilized prior to machine reprocessing.
39
Carry out a visual check before starting a program:
– 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 can they rotate freely?
– Are the filters clean?
Remove any coarse soiling and clean the filters if necessary.
– Are the removable modules, injector nozzles, irrigation sleeves and
other rinsing fittings securely connected?
– Are the baskets and modules or wash carts 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 program:
– 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
adapters during reprocessing must be re-processed.
– 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.

Dispensing neutralizing agent or rinse aid
The reservoir with the  symbol on the lid can either be used for
dispensing neutralizing agent or alternatively for rinse aid.
It is programmed ex-works for neutralizing agent.
The machine's controls have to be reprogrammed by Miele Service

if you wish to change product, e.g. from neutralizing agent to rinse
aid.
Neutralizing agent Neutralizing agent (pH setting: acidic) neutralizes any residues of
alkaline cleaning agents on the surface of the load and protects the
wash chamber from deposits and discoloration.
Neutralizing agent is dispensed automatically in the Rinse phase after
the main wash (see "Program charts"). The reservoir must be filled for
this to occur.
Rinse aid The dispensing of rinse aid is deactivated ex-works.

Please contact Miele Service if you wish to activate it.
If rinse aid has been activated, neutralizing agent will not be
dispensed in the Rinse phase of the program.
Rinse aid can support the drying performance.

 Residues of rinse aid remain on the surface of items after they
have dried.
It is important to check the suitability of the rinse aid being used.
Rinse aid is automatically dispensed in the Final rinse phase. The

reservoir must be filled for this to occur.
49
Filling the  The reservoir must only be filled with the programmed process
reservoir chemicals - neutralizing agent or rinse aid.
Do not fill it with cleaning detergent. This will damage the reservoir.
 Open the door fully.
 Unscrew the yellow lid with the  symbol in the direction of the
arrow.
The reservoir holds approximately 300 ml.
 Add the process chemical only up to the maximum mark mark in

the funnel.
 Close the reservoir.
50
 Wipe up any spilled process chemical thoroughly. Then start the
Rinse program to prevent over-foaming from occurring during the
next program.
Refill indicator When the fill level is low in the (DOS 2) supply container for
neutralizing agent or rinse aid you are reminded to refill it.
Refill rinse aid
 This message also appears when dispensing neutralizing agent.

When refilling the reservoir make sure you are using the correct
process chemical.
 Confirm the message shown with OK and
 refill the process chemical as described above.
Dispensing For information about setting the dispensing concentration, see

"Additional settings / Additional functions / Dispensing systems".
If spots appear on items after reprocessing:
 Reduce the amount if using neutralizing agent.
 Increase the amount if using rinse aid.
If clouding or smearing appears on items:

 Increase the amount if using neutralizing agent.
 Reduce the amount if using rinse aid.
51
Detergent
 Only use cleaning detergent which is suitable for this type of
machine. Consult Miele for available detergents from Miele.
Do not use detergent for domestic dishwashers.
This machine can be used with powder cleaning detergent or with

liquid cleaning detergent via an external DOS module.
DOS modules are fitted by Miele Service and can be retrospectively
fitted at any time.
Miele recommends the use of liquid cleaning detergent.
For environmental reasons it is important to always consider the
following factors when selecting a cleaning detergent:
– How alkaline does the cleaning detergent need to be for the
cleaning application involved?
– Are protein-removing enzymes required and is the program
sequence suitable for this?
– Are tensides required for proper dispersal and emulsification?
– Is a process chemical containing active chlorine required or can an
active chlorine-free process chemical be used?
 Process chemicals containing chlorine can damage the
elastomers of the machine.
For cleaning specific types of soiling, and for information on the

optimum cleaning detergents and additives to use for liquid
dispensing, please contact Miele. The Miele Professional
Department will be able to advise you.
Refilling liquid Liquid cleaning detergent is dispensed from an external canister.

 Replace the empty container with a full one.
52
 Push the suction lance into the opening of the container and screw
it on tightly. Observe the colour coding.
 Wipe up any spilled process chemical thoroughly.
 Place the container on the floor next to the machine or in an

adjacent cupboard. The container must not be placed on top of or
above the machine. Make sure that the dispensing hose is not
kinked or trapped.
 The dispensing system must then be vented (see "Settings  /
Venting DOS").
Checking Check consumption regularly by checking the fill levels in the supply
consumption containers and replace containers in good time to avoid the
dispensing system being sucked completely dry.
Refill indicator When the fill level is low in the DOS 1 supply container for liquid
cleaning detergent you are reminded to replenish it.
Refill DOS
 Confirm the message shown with OK and

Dispensing  Avoid inhaling powder cleaning detergent.

powder cleaning Swallowing process chemicals can cause chemical burns in the
detergents mouth and throat or lead to asphyxiation.
Add powder cleaning detergent to the dispenser in the door with the
 symbol before starting the program. Do not dispense powder
cleaning detergent in the Rinse and Drain programs.
 Press the yellow button on the dispenser with the  symbol.
The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a
program.
The level markers in the powder dispenser with the door in the
horizontal position equate to the amount dispensed in ml. The max.
capacity is approx. 60 ml of cleaning agent.
The amount in ml equates to approx. the amount normally
recommended in grams (g) for proprietary powder cleaning agents.
Powder density can affect this amount.
Dispensing example:
Approx. 10.5 l of water are taken into the machine for the main
wash. With a cleaning agent concentration of approx. 3 g/l you will
need approx. 30 g of cleaning agent. Please observe manufacturer's
recommendations, which may vary!
54
 Add powder cleaning detergent to the dispenser.
 Close the dispenser flap.
 Make sure that all of the cleaning detergent has dissolved at the
end of the program.
Repeat the program if residual detergent is present.
Check whether any items of the load obstruct the discharge of the
dispensing container and rearrange the load if necessary.
Nozzle A 802 The nozzle A 802 flushes the powder detergent out of the dispenser
during the program.
If an upper basket and a lower basket with two modules are being
used, nozzle A 802 for powder detergent must be fitted. The
operating instructions for the modules describe how to do this.

– All wash carts, baskets, inserts, and modules.
Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet

The filters in the floor of the wash chamber prevent coarse soiling
from coming into contact with the circulation system. Filters can
become blocked by soiling. Therefore they need to be checked every
day and cleaned as necessary.
 This machine must not be used without all the filters in place.
 Danger of injury from glass shards, needles etc. which are

retained in the filters.

microfine filter.
– ... that the microfine filter is tightly screwed in as far as it will go.
97
Maintenance
Cleaning the spray arms
The spray arms can become blocked, especially if the filters are not
inserted correctly in the wash cabinet. This can cause coarse
particles of soiling to get into the wash fluid circulation.
The spray arms must be visually checked daily for any soiling.
 To do this remove the wash carts and the baskets.
 Visually check the spray arms for soiling and blocked jets.
 Also check that the spray arms can turn easily.
 Immobile or blocked spray arms must not be used again.

In this case, contact Miele Service.
Cleaning the The spray arms in the machine as well as in the wash carts and
spray arms baskets must be fully dismantled for cleaning:
 Remove the wash cart or baskets from the machine.
The upper spray arm of the machine is connected by a push-fit

connector.

Connecting the water supply
 Water from the wash cabinet must not be consumed.
– The machine must be connected to the water supply in strict

accordance with current local and national water authority
regulations.
– The water supply must at least meet the standards for drinking
water. If the water supply has a high iron content, there is a danger
of corrosion occurring on stainless steel items being cleaned in the
machine, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content in the
water exceeds 100 mg/l, the risk of corrosion to items being
cleaned is greatly increased.
– The machine is equipped with a safety system for the protection of
drinking water and may be connected to the water supply without a
non-return valve, if national regulations permit.
– This machine is supplied as standard for connection to cold water
(blue coded hose) or hot water up to max. 65°C (red coded hose).
Connect the inlet hoses to the cold or hot water tap valves as
required.
– The Minimum flow pressure for a cold or hot water connection is
40 kPa (5.8 psi) pressure, and for DI water connection is 30 kPa
(4.4 psi) pressure.
– Recommended flow pressure for cold and hot water connections
is ≥ 200 kPa (29 psi) pressure and for DI water connection
≥ 200 kPa (29 psi) pressure, to avoid excessively long water intake
times.
– The maximum permissible static water pressure is 1,000 kPa.
– If the water pressure does not fall into the stated range contact
Miele Service for advice.
– More information on DI water connection can be found at the end
of this section.
– A tap valve with a ¾", garden hose thread and male connection,
must be provided on site. It should be easily accessible so that the
water supply can be turned off when the machine is not in use.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.7 m long (5.5 ft) terminating in a ¾"
female garden hose thread. On no account may the inlet filter be
removed.
123
Water connection
– Install the filter (supplied in accessory pack) between the stopcock

valve and the inlet hose. The filter for DI water is made of
chromium-nickel steel and can be recognized by its dull surface
and green label.

water connection pressurized DI water with a pressure between 30-1,000 kPa
( 30-1,000 kPa) - (4.4-145 psi). If the water pressure is below 200 kPa (29 psi) the water
depending on intake time will be automatically increased.
version
 The pressure tested hose for DI water, coded green, has a ¾ inch
female connection with garden hose thread and is connected to the
onsite DI water tap.
 If the machine is not going to be connected to DI water, the DI
water connection has to be deactivated by a Miele Service
technician. The inlet hose remains in position at the back of the
machine.
Non-pressurized If DI water is supplied from a DI water reservoir with gravity feed or

(gravity feed) DI low pressure, a machine version with DI booster pump is required.
water connection The pressure for gravity feed or low pressure ranges between 8.5-60
(8.5-60 kPa) - kPa (1.3 - 8.7 psi). The machine can be converted from pressurized to
depending on non-pressurized or vice-versa. The conversion must only be carried
version out by Miele Service.
For non-pressurized DI water reservoirs the connection point to the
machine must be at least as high as the top of the machine. See
installation instructions.
Demineralized The machine can be connected to a ring line system for

water ring line demineralized water. For this purpose, it must be technically adapted
and the controls reset by Miele Professional Service.

125
Water connection
Connecting the water drain
– A non-return valve is incorporated into the drain system in the
machine to prevent drainage water flowing back into the machine
via the drain hose.
– The machine drainage hose should be connected to a separate
drain for the machine only. If no separate drain is available, we
recommend connecting it to a dual-chamber siphon.
– The on-site connection point, measured from the lower edge of
the machine, should be positioned at a height between 0.3 m and
1.0 m (1-3.2 ft). If it is lower than 0.3 m, the drain hose must be laid
in a coil at a height of at least 0.3 m.
– The drainage system must be able to accommodate a minimum
drainage flow of 16 l/min.
– The drainage hose is approx. 1.4 m long and flexible with an
internal diameter of 22 mm. Hose clips for the connection are
supplied.
– The drain hose must not be shortened.
– The drain hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach
a further length of hose up to 4.0 m long. The drainage length must
not exceed 4.0 m.
