Systematic Instrument Care
Instruments Suitable
for Thermal Disinfection
Only instruments that are thermally
stable up to 97°C/206.6°F and corrosion
resistant should be processed in the
disinfector. The majority of dental
instruments consist of high quality
stainless steel. The stainless steel
quality varies depending on the specific
instrument criteria.
Generally, only high-quality stainless steel
instruments are recommended for
cleaning in the Miele Thermal Disinfector.
Miele recommends that instruments
made from aluminum, chrome, nickel,
carbon, or carbide steel, or instruments
that are chrome plated should not be
processed in the machine.
If there are questions regarding the
suitability of any instrument for use in the
G 7881, contact your Miele representative.
Water Quality
Water quality can sometimes have an
effect on the instruments that are
washed in the Miele Thermal Disinfector.
Some areas of the United States have
better water quality than other areas.
For areas where water quality is
questionable, Miele recommends the
use of an external water purification unit
connected to the DI intake valve on the
back of the unit.
The external purification unit is then able
to supply either DI or reverse osmosis
(RO) water during the final rinse of the
program, virtually eliminating any minerals
or compounds that may be damaging to
the instruments. And through Miele’s
integrated DI intake valve, this pure water
is only used when it is needed, in the final
rinse cycle, greatly reducing the costs
associated with a pure water system.
