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.
