High-level disinfection
The G 7881 Dental Thermal Disinfector
is suitable for automatic treatment of
dental instruments and accesories. It
cleans and in the disinfection program
simultaneously thermally disinfects, at
200°F/93°C, instruments and
accessories.
Areas of effectiveness are physical
removal or thermal inactivation of
vegetative bacteria including
mycobacteria, fungi, fungal spores, and
viruses. These categories include the
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the
Enterococcus faecium.
Important: Only the programs labeled
"Disinfection" disinfect! Only use this
program when handling contaminated
items. All other programs are designed
to clean items without disinfecting
them!
All relevant safety procedures should
be obeyed. Relevant safety procedures
include, but are not limited to, the
Centers for Disease Control’s
Recommended Infection Control
Practices for Dentistry and the OSHA
Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.
The G 7881 Dental Thermal Disinfector
achieves high-level disinfection as
defined by the Spaulding
categorization.
The Spaulding category high-level
disinfection is the same type of means
as in the sterilant category except that
the use pattern is different. The sterilant
is used as a high-level disinfectant by
e.g. reducing the exposure time within
its effective range of tuberculocidal,
virucidal, and bactericidal action.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control’s Recommended Infection
Control Practices for Dentistry,
instruments should be classified in one
of the following categories and be
treated accordingly:
All critical instrments must be
sterilized after treatment in the G 7881
Dental Thermal Disinfector. Critical
instruments are used to penetrate soft
tissue or bone, e.g. forceps, scalpels,
bone chisels or scales.
Semicritical instruments should be
sterilized after treatment in the G 7881
Dental Thermal Disinfector, If, however,
sterilization is not feasible because the
instrument will be damaged by higher
heat exposure, the instruments may be
treated terminally in the G 7881 Dental
Thermal Disinfector. Semicritical
instruments do not penetrate soft
tissues or bone but contact oral tissues,
e.g. mirrors and amalgam placement
instruments.
Noncritical instuments may be treated
terminally in the G 7881 Dental Thermal
Disinfector. Noncritical instruments or
devices come into contact only with
intact skin, e.g. external components of
x-ray heads.
Description of the machine

Instruments suitable for processing
in the thermal disinfector
In general, only high quality stainless
steel instruments are suitable for
processing in the G 7881. All
instruments, accessories and other
items to be cleaned and disinfected in
the machine should have the following
properties:
–
heat resistance to a temperature of
up to 95°C / 203°F.
–
corrosion resistance in the presence
of heat and alkalinity.
The heat retention capacity of stainless
steel allows for fast drying. Plastic has a
lower heat retention capacity, thus
requiring a longer drying time. In this
case, a slightly extended waiting period
of 5-15 minutes may be necessary after
the disinfection cycle.
Aluminum instruments may discolor
during the cleaning process. Aluminum
has only a limited suitability for
processing in this system.
Carbon steel and chrome-plated
instruments may corrode during the
cleaning process. Processing these
types of instruments in the G 7881 is
not recommended.
Handpieces, drill bits, grinders, root
canal instruments or other rotating
instruments are not suitable for the
thermal disinfector. Do not process
them in the thermal disinfector.
Do not clean fiberoptics or electrical
equipment or components in the
thermal disinfector.
Rhodium coated mirrors must be
arranged so that their surfaces do not
suffer any mechanical damage. Not all
specula with glass are suitable for
machine treatment.
If you have questions regarding
whether an instrument is suitable for
processing in the G 7881 Dental
Disinfector, please seek the advice of
the instrument manufacturer.
Water quality
Good water quality is essential for
processing instruments in the dental
washer disinfector. Otherwise,
instrument corrosion may result.
Poor water quality consists of, but is not
limited to, high concentrations of
chlorides (over 50 ppm). High chloride
levels will cause even high quality
stainless steel instruments to rust when
processed in the machine. Other
effects that may be noticed are
tarnishing or "blueing" of instruments
due to dissolved minerals in the water.
If you notice any of the above
symptoms in your instruments, please
contact a Miele Applications

Before using for the first time please
pay special attention to the following
points:
Detailed information on these points
can be found in the relevant section
of the Operating Instructions.
Set the water softener unit
The water softener unit must be set to
the water hardness level in your area.
Contact your local water authority to
find your hardness level, in parts per
million (ppm) or grains per gallon
(gr/gal).
The salt reservoir also has to be filled
first with water and then with
reactivation salt.
Filling the salt reservoir with cleaning
agent by mistake will cause serious
damage to the water softener.
Please check every time before
refilling that the package contains
reactivation salt.
Add rinsing agent
Inadvertently filling the rinsing agent
reservoir with cleaning agent
(including liquid cleaning agents
and dishwashing soap) will cause
serious damage to the reservoir.
Only use detergents suitable for use
in disinfecting washers.
Do not use detergents formulated for
use in domestic dishwashers.
Load the machine carefully
Arrange the load so that water will
come into contact with all the surfaces.
Concealed surfaces will not be
cleaned.
The spray arms must not be blocked by
any items.
Adding detergent
Follow the dosage recommendations
from the cleaning agent manufacturer.
The filter combination at the base of
the wash cabinet and the spray arms
must be clean.
Regular checking and cleaning is
essential.

Before using the machine for the first
time, the water softener should be
programmed. The water needs to be
softened to avoid calcium deposit
buildup on instruments and in the
machine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water:
1. Make sure the water softener is
programmed correctly.
The softener contains settings from
1 - 60 gr/gal or 20 - 1080 ppm.
2. The salt reservoir must be filled with
reactivation salt.
(If the water hardness level is below
4 gr/gal [70 ppm]), the reservoir
does not need to be filled.)
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 19 gr/gal
(340 ppm).
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your
area. 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".

Filling the salt reservoir
Only special, coarse-grained
reactivation salt* should be used in
this machine.
*Available from Miele’s distributor.
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’s Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg
of salt.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with cleaning agent will
damage the water softener.
Before filling, 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 with
reactivation salt for the first time, fill it
with approx. 2.5 liters of water.
^
Place the funnel provided in place.
^ Carefully fill the reservoir with salt.
Displaced water will run out as it is
being filled.
^ Wipe any residual salt off the screw
threads on the socket.
^ Screw the cap on firmly.
^ Immediately after this step: Run the
"Rinse" program to remove any traces
of salt from the cabinet.
Note: There may be a delay before the
"Rinse" program starts due to the

This disinfecting washer normally
requires a top and bottom basket.
Various inserts and special baskets are
also available for a wide variety of
instruments.
Loading the machine
Preparation
^
Empty all containers before loading
into the machine.
Ensure that no acid or solvent
residue, especially hydrochloric acid
or chlorides, gets into the wash
cabinet.
Note
^ Load items so that water will come
into contact with all surfaces. This
ensures proper cleaning.
^ Do not place items to be cleaned
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
^
Hollow items should be inverted and
placed in the correct inserts. The
water must have unobstructed
access to them.
^
Deep-based items should be placed
at an angle to ensure water
coverage.
^
Tall, narrow pieces should be placed
in the center of the baskets to ensure
water coverage.
^
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
down in their path. If necessary,
manually rotate the arms to test.
^
In order to avoid corrosion, it is
recommended that only high-quality
stainless steel instruments are
cleaned in the machine.
^
Nickel plated instruments and
anodized aluminum instruments are
not suitable for machine processing.
^ Plastic items must be thermally
stable.
^ Single-use instruments must not be
put into the machine for processing.
^ As soon as the program finishes,
partially open the door of the
machine (by about 10 cm) for about
5 minutes before unloading. The
residual heat in the machine will help
achieve a good drying result and
prevent instruments from corroding.
^
As little dental cement or amalgam
remains should be on the instruments
as possible. If necessary, wipe off
excess with a swab. Otherwise,
manual cleaning is required after
thermal disinfection.
^
When loading cassettes, be sure to
angle them toward the rear of the
chamber, so as not to block the
powder detergent cup from opening.

Cleaning the filters in the water
inlet
Filters are incorporated in the screw
connection of the water inlet hose to
protect the water inlet valve. If these
filters become dirty, they need to be
cleaned, otherwise insufficient water
flows into the wash cabinet.
,
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be
submerged in water.
To clean the filters
^ Disconnect the machine from the
main electrical supply.
^ Turn off the water supply.
^ Unscrew the water inlet hose.
^
Clean the large area filter, 1, and fine
filter, 2, replace with new filters, if
necessary.
^
Replace filters and the seal. Make
sure they are sitting correctly.
^
Reconnect the hose to the water inlet,
making sure that it goes back on
straight.
^
Open the water tap carefully.
If there is a leak, tighten the
connections.
Cleaning the control panel
^
The control panel should only be
cleaned with a damp cloth or a
suitable cleaner for use on plastic
materials.
,
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
glass cleaners or all-purpose
cleaners! They will damage the
control panel.
Cleaning the front of the
machine
^ Use a cleaner suitable for the type of
material the machine front is fitted
with.
,
Do not use cleaning agents
containing ammonia or thinners.

Correcting minor faults
44
Unsatisfactory cleaning results
Unsatisfactory cleaning results may
occur as drying spots, or as spots that
look like corrosion. Presumably,
corrosion spots are often bio-debris.
They have the shape of drying spots,
blurry edges and a rust color.
Bio-debris may also appear on
surfaces that were not contaminated
before processing. To remedy this
problem:
^
Run the machine within six hours of
loading, even if it is partially loaded.
^ Check the dosage of the detergent
and adjust. Too little or too much
detergent may deteriorate cleaning
results.
^ Rearrange the load to be cleaned so
that the spray arms can rotate freely.
^ Check if anything obstructs the
powdered detergent dispenser flap.
The water in the wash cabinet is not
heated or the program sequence
lasts too long (fault code "F01-F03,
F18, F19" appears in the display)
The machine has a resettable
temperature limiter which will shut off
the heating elements in the case of
overheating. This could be caused if
large articles cover the heating
elements or if the filters in the wash
cabinet are blocked.
^
Remove the cause of overheating.
^
Remove the service panel.
^ Press the blue "Reset" button on the
temperature limiter.
If this switch trips repeatedly, contact
the Miele Technical Service
Department.
Correcting minor faults
45
Important
When a fault occurs, please check that
the fault has not been caused by

"Stop" f position (the fault code will
go out).
^
Turn the machine off.
^
Restart the machine and reselect the
program.
If you still have difficulty or if a fault
code "F..." appears in the display,
