connected processing chemicals
Effect
Action
The ingredients of the processing
chemicals have a considerable effect
on the durability and functionality (feed
performance) of the metering systems.
The metering systems (feed hoses and
pump) are normally designed for a
specific type of processing chemicals.
General categories:
– alkaline to neutral pH products,
– acid to neutral pH products,
– hydrogen peroxide.
– Use only those processing chemicals
recommended by Miele Technical
Service or a Miele Application
Specialist.
– Perform regular visual inspections of
the metering system.
– Regularly check the feed
performance of the metering system.
The processing chemicals can damage
the elastomer and plastic components
of the machine and its accessories.
– Use only those processing chemicals
recommended by Miele Technical
Service or a Miele Application
Specialist.
– Perform regular visual inspections of
all accessible elastomer and plastic
components.
The following oxidizing processing
chemicals can damage the elastomer
components (hoses and seals) and the
plastic components of the machine:
– nitric acid,
– peracetic acid,
– products containing active chlorine.
The washing temperature should not
exceed
– 50 °C for nitric acid,
– 35 °C for peracetic acid,
– 80 °C for products containing active
chlorine.
The following processing chemicals
can release large quantities of oxygen:
– hydrogen peroxide,
– peracetic acid.
– Use only tested processes such as
OXIVARIO or OXIVARIO PLUS.
– In the case of hydrogen peroxide,
the washing temperature should be
below 70 °C.
– Consult Miele Customer Service or a
Miele Application Specialist.
