Measures
The ingredients in process chemicals have
a strong influence on the longevity and
functionality (throughput) of the dispensing
system.
- Follow the process chemical
manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations.
- Carry out a regular visual check of the
dispensing system (suction lances, hoses,
dispenser canisters, etc.) for any damage.
- Regularly check the flow rate of the
dispensing system.
- Ensure that the regular cycle of
maintenance is observed.
- Please contact Miele for advice.
Process chemicals can damage elastomers
and plastics in the cleaning machine and
accessories.
- Follow the process chemical
manufacturer’s instructions and

- Carry out a regular visual check of any
accessible elastomers and plastics for
damage.
Hydrogen peroxide can release large
amounts of oxygen.
- Use only validated processes.
- The wash temperature must be lower than
70 °C when using hydrogen peroxide.

The following process chemicals can cause
large amounts of foam to build up:
- Cleaning agents and rinsing agents
containing surfactants
Foam can occur:
- In the programme block in which the
process chemical is dispensed
- In the following programme block if it has
been spilt
- In the following programme with rinsing
agent if it has been spilt
- The process parameters in the wash
programme, such as dispensing
temperature, dosage concentration, etc.,
must be set to ensure the whole process
is foam-free or very low-foaming.
- Please observe the process chemical
manufacturer’s instructions.
