1 Application Area
The MELAclean® Instrument washer is based on a chemo-thermal process and allows secure conditioning of
medical instruments before sterilization.
The machine replaces the manual conditioning with the significantly more reliable automatic conditioning as
approved by the guidelines of the German Robert-Koch-Institute.
Improved security for staff and less labor time, including reproduceable improvement of hygiene in the prac-
tise, are advantages that endorse the use of MELAclean®
Several certificates back up the good cleaning ability of MELAclean® in connection with the MELAclean®
disinfection cleanser (Art.-no. 00134). The automated conditioning with MELAclean® is suitable for metal
instruments and items, except anodized aluminum, glass ceramics and thermally instable materials (plastic).
These following items are not applicative: instruments with narrow hollow spaces, handpieces, endoscopical
instruments and textiles. Depending on the quality of the anodizing material, coloration and dull spots may
occur. Please follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturers of your instruments.
After conditioning the instruments and before using them on patients, sterilization is absolutely necessary.

2 Safety instructions
Before placing the MELAclean® Instrument washer into operation, please carefully read the information con-
tained in this Installation and Operating Manual. This manual contains important instructions for the installa-
tion, use, and maintenance of the MELAclean® machine.
Please keep this Installation and Operating Manual in a safe place where it can always be found.

MELAG cannot be held responsible for any claims if the following instructions are not followed.

1. If this unit or its packing has been damaged during transport, do not try to place it into operation.
2. Use the MELAclean® only for the purpose for which it has been designed.
3. Set up the unit and connect it, according to the Installation Instructions given in Section 8.1 below. The power ratings
of the sockets in your rooms must conform to the electrical specifications on the rating plate (nameplate) on the
unit (see Fig. 2 for location of the rating plate).
4. The electrical safety of the unit is assured only if the earthing (grounding) system of the electrical system in the
building is in proper working condition, in accordance with pertinent regulations.
5. Do not use extension cords or cables, or trailing sockets, to connect the unit to the building power outlets.
6. Only specially trained after-sales engineers may open the unit or repair it.
7. If the unit malfunctions, or if it requires service or repair, it must first be disconnected from mains power. To do this,
pull out the power plug, or switch off the fuse. When pulling out the power plug, pull on the plug and not on the ca-
ble. Also close the water tap.
8. Do not allow children to have access to MELAclean® Disinfection Cleanser, or to the MELAclean® Rinse Agent used
with the unit. Also do not allow children to access the inside of the unit: residue of Disinfection Cleanser or Rinse
Agent may still be inside the machine.
9. Do not drink the water from the washing compartment; it is not potable.
10. DANGER: Do not place or use any solvents in the washing compartment. This could cause an explosion.
11. Protect the hoses and cables from any sources of heat and from any high temperatures.
12. If the MELAclean® is installed to be free-standing (i.e., not in a cupboard or cabinet), it must be secured against
tipping and falling over toward the front. See the Installation Instructions given in Section 7.1 below.
13. Use only the MELAclean® Disinfection Cleanser and the MELAclean® Rinse Agent as instructed in these pages.
14. Caution: Do not connect the MELAclean® to a hot water supply. If hot water is used, and if temperatures rise above
40°C, there is a danger that contamination containing protein will coagulate on the instruments, and that they will not
be cleaned properly.
15. Only use adequate instruments in MELAclean®. Please read the information in chapter 4.5 on damages to certain
kinds of objects during cleaning.
 The proper functioning and the sufficiently long service life of this unit depend on the following:
1. That the unit is properly set up and installed
2. That the unit is properly maintained and serviced
3. That only the high-quality disinfection and rinse aids specified above are used in
the unit: MELAclean® Disinfection Cleanser and MELAclean® Rinse Agent

3.2 Power and water connections for MELAclean® ___________________________

The unit must be installed so as to be level and stable. Follow the Installation Instructions given in chapter
8.1. Make sure that the following services and utilities are available:

• Drain for used water: Follow the Installation Instructions given in Fig. 22 to Fig. 25. Use the parts supplied
with the unit to make these connections.

• Fresh water: Make the connection for fresh water by following the Installation Instructions given in Fig. 22.
The water pressure must be at least 0.3 bar, but not more than 10 bar. The water flow rate should be at least
10 litres per minute. After installing MELAclean®, be absolutely sure to carefully check the water connections
on the unit, at the water-supply tap, and at the drain for used water, to ensure there are no leaks.
In your building, you must also be sure to connect other consumers to the drinking-water network in accor-
dance with the regulations given in the European standard EN 1717, in order to prevent any contamination of
the water-supply network. The water separation is provided on the machine side, so no further measures are
necessary.

To prevent water damage, we recommend that you install a leak monitor with shut-off valve: the product
Water stop valve from MELAG, article no. 01056. Important: if the unit is not planned to be used for a
lengthy period of time, then it is very important to shut off the supply of water to it.

Caution: Do not allow MELAclean® to operate without being supervised.

• Electrical connection: Connect the unit only to a 220 … 230 V AC power supply, to a power outlet that has
been installed in accordance with pertinent regulations. The power outlet must be located near the
MELAclean®.

 4 Before starting the unit
4.1 Setting the water softener to the correct hardness ________________________
To function satisfactorily, the MELAclean® Instrument Washer requires good-quality water. A water softener
is therefore built into the unit. This integrated water treatment system has been designed to optimally meet
the requirements of the MELAclean®.
Important: Before placing the unit into operation, you must set the water softener for the degree of
water hardness in your location. Ask your local waterworks for water hardness at your location. Then set
the water softening system as shown in Fig. 6.
Important: After you have filled the regeneration salt, make sure that you have properly and tightly closed
the salt container. Caution: Rinse water must not enter the container for regeneration salt.
Danger: Never put MELAclean® Disinfection Cleanser or any other cleanser in the salt container. This would
destroy the water softener, and the guarantee will not apply to such cases.
4.2 Refilling with salt ____________________________________________________
Caution: use only special regeneration salt for dishwashers
Before starting the MELAclean® for the first time, fill about half a litre of water into the salt container before
filling with salt. To fill the regeneration salt, turn the lid of the salt container anticlockwise as shown in Fig. 5,
pull out the container, and fill with salt as shown in Fig. 7. When full, push the container back in and turn
clockwise to tightly close the lid. We recommend a fine or coarse-grained regeneration salt: Use only the
type made for dishwashers. Caution: Never use household salt, thawing salt, animal salt, or any other kind
of normal salt. They contain insoluble constituents which interfere with the water softener. The salt container
holds approx. 0.5 kg of regeneration salt. Refill the salt just before you start the program (otherwise, it may
cause corrosion to the MELAclean® machine). To see when the salt container must be refilled, look at the
salt refill indicator (see Fig. 3, no. 5).

4.3 Refilling with MELAclean®- Rinse agent _________________________________

MELAclean® Rinse Agent (art.-no. 00135) is necessary for a clear rinse and for neutralization after cleaning
the instruments. MELAclean® Rinse Agent prevents the formation of spots on the instruments, and enhances
drying results.
Use only MELAclean® Rinse Agent in the MELAclean®. Turn the lid of the container for the rinse agent to the
left, and open the filling compartment (see Fig. 8 below).

Fig. 8: Container for MELAclean® - Rinse Agent

Fill the MELAclean® Rinse Agent into the opening until the light-coloured filling indicator (Fig. 9) has become
completely dark. You can see if there is enough MELAclean® Rinse Agent in the MELAclean® by seeing how
dark the indicator has become (fully dark = full). Then screw the lid shut again until it is tight. If you have
spilled any Rinse Agent, wipe it up with a cloth. When you start the cleaning program, MELAclean® will auto-
matically add the correct amount of Rinse Agent.

4.4 Refill indicator for MELAclean® - Rinse Agent ____________________________

When the refill indicator becomes light-coloured, refill with MELAclean® Rinse Agent. When the indicator is
dark, there is enough Rinse Agent in the machine.

Fig. 9: Dosing regulator for MELAclean® - Rinse agent

You can set the dosing regulator, continuously variable, from 1 to 6. The factory default setting is 3. Change
this setting on the dosing regulator only if streaks or water spots appear on the instruments.
• If you see streaks on the instruments, then turn the dosing regulator slightly to the left (toward the lower
numbers)
• If water spots appear, then turn the dosing regulator slightly to the right (toward the higher numbers).
 4.5 Loading with instruments _____________________________________________
• To remove coarse or stubborn contamination (e.g., cement residue) please clean these instruments
manually before loading into the MELAclean® .
• Do not use any other chemicals for preliminary cleaning of instruments.
• Load all vessel-shaped instruments – such as glasses, cups, etc. – with their openings downward.
• If objects have recesses or concave shapes, place them at an overturned angle so that the water can
run out of them.
• Place high, narrow, and vessel-shaped objects in the middle area, where they are directly under the
water spray. Suction canulas (Ø 16 mm dental) must be placed in the washing basket G with the wide
opening facing up (see Fig. 11)!
• It is most effective to place long instruments horizontally, like in Fig. 11, washing basket K.
• Load the instruments next to each other in this way, vertically or horizontally, so that the spray of water
can reach all places on the instruments.
• Good cleaning results depend on correct positioning of the load. Avoid the spray to be blocked off. The
cleaning solution must reach all parts of the instruments, so that the following rinsing is completed suc-
cessfully in the machine.

WARNING! In order to prevent injuries by pointed or sharp-edged instruments, we urgently advise that staff
wear protective gloves. Always be careful when loading and unloading instruments from the baskets. Follow
the safety precautions. Generally, instruments must be examined for possible contamination resi-
dues after cleaning with the MELAclean® system.
Damages to certain kinds of objects during cleaning:
Plastic parts sensitive to hot water, as well as aluminium parts, can become discoloured or faded as a result
of the cleaning process. Poor-quality glass can also become murky after many cleaning cycles. Metallic in-
struments must consist of stainless material; otherwise, rust will form and film rust (transferred rust) will de-
velop. MELAclean® is not suitable for instruments with narrow hollow spaces, handpieces, endoscopical
instruments, as well as textiles and cellulose.
Our recommendation:
Use the MELAclean® to prepare only instruments whose manufacturers have confirmed that they are suit-
able for automatic conditioning in such system.

The MELAG basket system:

In order to assure ease of handling of the entire instrument cycle in your medical work, and to provide uni-
versal loading conditions, we have developed baskets that you can directly load into an autoclave after the
end of the MELAclean® Instrument Washer cycle. All baskets are made of high-quality stainless steel.
The MELAclean® comes with a basic rack (see Fig. 10), into which you place the individual washing bas-
kets. The upright supporting rods, which can be folded down or up, allow washing of 4 vertically standing
sterilization or washer trays. If anodized aluminium parts or trays are used, discolouration or dull spots can
occur on these parts after washing if the anodized finish is of poor quality.

Loops (1a and 1b) in the long wires serve to hold Kristeller vaginal specula for sterilization. For the desired
inclined postion, these loop wires are used both as middle mount (1a) and also as separation mounting (1b)
for each of the instruments being sterilized. – depending on the size of the Kristeller speculum.
It is possible to further raise this inclined position by using an additional support edge (2) on the bottom of
the sieve bowl.
Taking advantage of this possibility improves the run-off of residual liquids.
Long Kristeller blades are positioned either inclined (3) or standing, depending on their size.

 6 Running a program
6.1 Switch on the MELAclean® ____________________________________________
Give the spray arm a spin to make sure it turns easily without obstruction (see Fig. 4, item C). If some object
prevents it from turning, move this object out of its way.
• Close the door.
• Turn the water tap full on.
• Turn the program selector only in clockwise direction until it exactly points to one of the programs: i.e., to
Program 1, Program 2, or “o” (see Fig. 3, item 4). CAUTION: Do not set the program selector to any
other position but 1, 2, or “o”.
• Press the START button (see Fig. 3, item 3). The indicator lamp will light up (see Fig. 3, item 2).
• When you press the START button the door will get locked. This feature prevents the door from being
opened before the washing cycle has fully run (it is not possible, for example, for the user to stop the
machine and load instruments that have been forgotten).
6.2 Indication of progress of program run __________________________________
As the program runs, the program selector switch will run backward (clockwise), back toward the vertical
start position, and will show the progress of the program. The selector switch will not move during the heat-
ing-up phase.
6.3 End of a program cycle _______________________________________________
The washing program is finished when the program selector switch (Fig. 3, item 4) has finished turning and
once again points vertically to the START position. After the washing cycle is finished, allow the objects in-
side to cool down for approx. 15 min. To do this, switch off the START button, and place the machine door in
its first latching position immediately after the program ends. This will allow the objects to dry faster. The
objects will dry even faster if you open the machine door completely when the program ends.
IMPORTANT: After successfully and proper cleaning of the instruments in the MELAclean®, all in-
struments should be sterilized, in order to assure optimal hygiene. Please remember that, in sterilizers
with a round sterilization chamber, the longest instruments must be placed in the middle of the individual
baskets.
6.4 Switching off the machine ____________________________________________
After the end of the program, the program selector switch (see Fig. 3, item 4) has to show vertically to the
START position.
• Press the START button (Fig. 3, item 3). The indicator lamp will go off (Fig. 3, item 2).
• When you press the START button, this will unlock the door.
• Turn off the water tap.

 Operating manual for MELAclean®

6.5 Periodic care of the machine __________________________________________

Check both of the two filters (Fig. 19 and Fig. 20) regularly, especially if you have washed heavily soiled
instruments. If you find residue in the filters, unscrew the filters by turning the threaded filter fastening in the
direction indicated (see Fig. 17: “open” and “close”). Make sure that no residues and – in particular – no
coarse particles can reach the drain pan. These particles and residues can cause the pump to malfunction.
Remove the coarse filter and the fine filter and clean them. Then install them again.
Check the spray arm (Fig. 4, item C) to make sure that its openings are not clogged up. If they are clogged,
clean them. The spray arm is only latched into place: it can be pulled off upward. After cleaning the spray
arm, press it back into place until it latches securely.
