Guide to the lab washer

Miele laboratory washers are designed

to clean and rinse laboratory

equipment.

In this operating manual, the general

term "labware" is used to cover a range

of laboratory equipment.

Always follow the labware

manufacturer's instructions. Individual

items need to be checked to ensure

that they are designed to withstand the

temperatures and acid / alkaline

environment in the machine.

Standard model

The machine is equipped with a water

softener and steam condenser.

Optional additions include:

– serial interface

– DOS G 60 liquid pump

Intended application: Laboratory

equipment

Labware includes a wide range of

items:

–Glassware, such as beakers,

round-bottomed flasks, Erlenmeyer

flasks, bottles, test tubes, separatory

funnels,

–measuring vessels, such as

graduated flasks, graduated

cylinders, pipettes

–dishes, such as Petri dishes, watch

glasses, mortars, and

– hardware, such as stoppers,

spatulas and stirrers.

Labware can be made of glass,

heat-resistant plastic, ceramic,

stainless steel, or coated metal

(e.g., stirrers).

softened to avoid calcium deposits on

the items being cleaned and in the

machine itself.

If the water supply is harder or softer

than the factory setting (including

below 4 gr/gal or 70 ppm), the setting

will need to be changed. See "Setting

the water softener".

–In order to function properly, the

water softener requires a supply of

reactivation salt.

– The cleaner must be correctly

programmed to match the hardness

of the tap water supply.

– Your local water authority can

provide information about the

hardness of the tap water in your

area.

If the water hardness is known to

fluctuate, always program for the

highest value.

The built-in water softener can be

programmed at settings from

1 - 60 gr/gal or 20 - 1080 ppm.

It is useful to make a note of your water

hardness so that you can provide the

service technician with this information

in the event of any service calls.

Please note the water hardness in the

space provided here:

Water softener

Filling the salt reservoir

Only special, coarse-grained

reactivation salt* should be used in

this machine.

*Available from Miele. Please see

back page for more information.

Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table

salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These

could contain components which are

insoluble in water and could damage

the water softener. If in doubt, consult

Miele Technical Service.

The salt reservoir holds approximately

2.5 kg salt.

,Inadvertently filling the salt

reservoir with detergent will damage

the water softener.

Before filling the reservoir, make

sure that you are using reactivation

salt.

^Remove the bottom basket from the

machine.

^Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Before filling the salt reservoir for the

first time fill the reservoir with

approximately 2.5 liters of water, so

that the salt can dissolve properly.

Once the washer has been

operated, there will always be

enough water in the reservoir.

^Place the funnel provided in place.

^Carefully fill the reservoir with the

reactivation salt.

Some displaced water will run out - this

is normal.

^Wipe any residual salt off the screw

threads of the reservoir.

^Screw the cap on securely.

^Immediately after this step, start the

"Rinse" program, to remove any

traces of salt from the inside of the

machine.

Note: There may be a delay of a few

minutes before the "Rinse" program

starts due to the reactivation of the

water softener.

Water softener

Salt indicator

When the salt reservoir is empty, the

"Recharge Softener" indicator blights

to remind you to fill the reservoir.

Reactivation takes place automatically

as needed during a program. The

"Recharging" indicator alights while

this is occurring.

Water softener

Adding rinse aid

Rinse aid is not used in laboratory

glassware cleaning applications.

If rinse aid is required, the rinse aid

dosage must be activated with

assistance from Miele Technical

Service.

Rinse aid (e.g., MieleClear) is filled in

the storage container, and the selected

dose is then dispensed automatically.

The rinse aid reservoir holds

approximately 180 ml.

,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid

reservoir with detergent will damage

the machine. Be sure only to use

rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir.

^Open the washer door.

^Unscrew the reservoir cap.

^Pour enough rinse aid into the

reservoir so that the level indicator

(see arrow) is dark. Use a funnel if

necessary.

^Replace and tighten the reservoir

cap.

^Wipe up any spilled rinse aid, to

prevent over sudsing during the next

wash cycle.

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid indicator light

^Rinse aid does not need to be refilled

until the "Rinse aid" indicator light

comes on in the display.

Setting the rinse aid dosage

The dosage selector has settings from

1 to 6 (1 - 6 ml). The factory setting is at

3 (3 ml).

If the glassware shows spots after

washing,

^adjust to a higher setting.

If the glassware shows smearing or

cloudy streaks after washing,

^adjust to a lower setting.

Rinse Aid

Adding neutralizer

Neutralizer has an acidic pH, and

works by neutralizing any traces of

(alkaline) cleaner from the surface of

the glassware.

When a mild alkaline detergent is

used for washing, select a

neutralizer that contains phosphoric

acid.

The neutralizer is automatically

dispensed during the second rinse

after the main wash cycle. To function

properly, the neutralizer container must

be filled and cleared of air (primed).

For specific instructions see

"Programming functions".

Note: the program "Inorganica"

dispenses neutralizer after the

pre-wash.

^Open the door of the storage cabinet

that houses the neutralizer and

detergent dispensers.

^Take out the (red) neutralizer

container and refill it or replace it with

a filled container.

^Insert the siphon tube into the

container opening and screw it into

place. Make sure to observe the

color coding.

Neutralizing agent

Neutralizer indicator light

^When the "Neutralizer" indicator

comes on, it is important to promptly

refill or exchange the neutralizer

container.

Make sure to refill / exchange the

container before it becomes

completely empty.

Neutralizing agent

Adding detergent

,Use only cleaning agents

formulated for this machine. Do not

use detergents formulated for

household dishwashers.

Liquid detergent

It is recommended that mildly alkaline

liquid detergents be dispensed via the

optional DOS module.

Note

As a separate option, this machine can

also be fitted with a dispenser pump for

automatic liquid detergent dispensing

(DOS-Module G 60). This is connected

externally. Contact Miele for details.

The optional DOS Module G 60 is

supplied with its own installation and

connection instructions.

See "Programming functions" for

information on priming the dispensing

system and setting the dosage.

Note also that the program

"Organica" can only be used with

liquid detergents.

Using powdered detergent

When the following upper baskets

are used, powdered detergent can

be loaded inside the door, but only

for programs without a pre-wash

cycle. In all other cases, use liquid

detergent (DOS 1):

– O 175/1

– O 176/1

– O 184

– O 187

– O 190/1.

Before starting the program, load the

powdered detergent into the

compartment (except for the programs

"Rinse" and "Drain").

^Press the button on the dispenser

cover. The cover will pop open.

The flap is always open at the end of a

program.

Detergent

^Load the detergent into the

compartment.

Dosage: To achieve a detergent

concentration of approximately 3 g/l,

use 30 g of detergent.

Always follow the detergent

manufacturer's recommendations for

dosage concentration.

^Snap the cover closed.

Detergent

Depending on the type of labware you

wish to clean, the washer can be used

with an upper basket, lower basket, or

injector wagon, as well as an

assortment of inserts and special

baskets to suit your needs.

Baskets and inserts should be

properly selected to match the

application desired.

Before every program start, conduct

the following visual inspection:

– Is the labware properly loaded and

secured in the machine?

– Are the hollow vessels properly

loaded so that all cavities and

channels will be flushed clean?

– Are the spray arms clean, and can

they rotate freely?

– Is the filter combination free of

coarse debris (remove any coarse

material and clean the coarse, fine,

flat, and micro-fine filters as

needed)?

–Is the basket adapter properly

connected to the water supply for the

spray arms and nozzles?

–Are the chemical dispensers filled?

After every program completion,

conduct the following visual

inspection:

–Inspect the labware for cleanliness.

–Has any hollowware been dislodged

from its proper position on the

nozzles?

,Any items that were dislodged

from the adapters during a program

cycle must be washed again.

–Are the cavities and channels in any

hollow vessels cleaned through?

– Are the nozzles and connections

firmly attached to the

baskets/inserts?

Loading the machine

–Always load items in a way that all

surfaces are exposed. This ensures

that the items will be properly

cleaned.

–Do not nest any items inside other

items. Keep each item separate.

–Hollow vessels must be arranged for

complete inside exposure to the

cleaning water.

–Hollow vessels should be inverted

and placed in suitable baskets and

inserts so that water will have

unrestricted access and exit.

– Deep-based items should be

arranged at an angle, so that water

can run off easily.

– Tall, narrow pieces should be placed

in the center of the basket for best

water coverage.

– Baskets and inserts with an adapter

must be properly connected.

–The spray arms must not be blocked

by items that are too tall or hang

through the baskets.

–To avoid corrosion, only load

stainless steel instruments in good

condition.

–Do not use this machine to wash

nickel-plated items or discolored

sealing wax residue, etc.

,Ensure that no acid or solvent

residues, especially hydrochloric

acid or chlorides, get inside the

machine.

Special preparations before

operating the machine

Items effected by heavy contamination

that resists removal, such as vacuum

grease, paper labels, etc., can affect

the cleaning and rinsing of the whole

load. Pre-treat these items before

Lab equipment that is contaminated by

microbiological material, pathogens,

propathogens, genetically altered

material, etc., may need to be sterilized

before being washed in the machine.

The user is responsible for this

decision.

Loading the machine

Spring adapter for the water

connection

The spring adapter for the water

connection must be properly engaged

when a basket or the injector wagon is

inserted into the machine. It must be

4-5mmhigher than the water inlet in

the machine.

If this is not the case, the adapter

needs to be adjusted as follows:

^Loosen the locking ring a.

^Move the adapter up to the proper

height b.

^Tighten the locking ring c.

Adjusting the upper basket

The upper basket can be adjusted

above and below the middle position,

by 2 cm.

Depending on the height selected and

which inserts are used, labware of

various heights can be arranged in the

baskets.

To adjust the upper basket:

^Pull the upper basket out as far as it

will go, lift it up off the runners and

remove.

^Use a wrench to unscrew the roller

bearings on either side of the basket,

then reposition as required.

Laboratory equipment

Wide-necked labware, e.g., beakers,

wide-necked Erlenmeyer flasks and

Petri dishes, or cylindrical items,

e.g., test tubes, can be cleaned inside

and out by the rotating spray arms.

For proper cleaning, load these items in

whole, half or quarter inserts, and place

them in an empty lower basket or upper

basket with spray arm.

Narrow-necked items, e.g., narrow

necked Erlenmeyer flasks, round flasks,

volumetric flasks and pipettes, require

the use of injector wagons or injector

baskets.

Separate instructions are included

for the use of injector baskets and

inserts for narrow-necked labware.

This section only covers basic

information on how to prepare and load

labware.

–Petri dishes and similar items should

be loaded in a suitable insert with the

soiled side facing center.

–Pipettes should be placed with the

narrow end facing down.

–Protective netting can be used to

avoid glass breakage.

and are they securely fixed in the

mobile unit/insert?

–Is the basket connection set to the

correct height and tightened?

–Are all spray jets, spray sleeves and

hose adapters tightly connected to

the basket/insert?

– Are all spray jets, spray sleeves and

hose adapters, unclogged so that

the wash water can flow through?

– Are covers and fasteners tightly

screwed on the spray sleeves?

If available:

–do the spray arms rotate freely?

–Are the spray jets clogged? See

"Cleaning and Care - Cleaning the

spray arms"?
