Miele PLW 8683 OIL LD DS10 laboratory dishwasher
The Miele PLW 8683 OIL LD DS10 laboratory washer impresses with its powerful yet resource-saving cleaning of laboratory glassware, pipettes and other sensitive items in professional laboratory environments. Thanks to the integrated WiFi communication module, the compact design and the practical dispensing solution, this system is ideal for many applications. Thanks to special oil and grease-resistant seals, even heavily soiled utensils are reliably reprocessed without leaving any residue. Compared to similar appliances, this model offers flexible and fast loading as well as advanced drying support with reduced energy consumption.
Performance features and ease of use
The appliance is designed for maximum user-friendliness to optimise workflows in the laboratory. With the M Touch Flex colour display, programs can be easily selected and controlled at the touch of a finger. The integrated AutoOpen function opens the door automatically as soon as the temperature in the wash cabinet falls below 70 °C at the end of the programme. This effectively removes residual moisture, which shortens the overall drying time.
A special feature is the variable-speed heating pump, which adapts to the cleaning process as required. High rinsing pressure supports the removal of stubborn residues, while reduced rinsing pressure in the next programme step enables even wetting of the items to be cleaned. Added to this is the EasyLoad system, which enables fast loading without time-consuming height adjustment of the holding positions. This allows the appliance to be loaded quickly and safely, which noticeably speeds up work processes.
Technical data at a glance
- Capacity: Up to 128 laboratory bottles or 98 pipettes per batch
- Programme variety: 19 pre-programmed cleaning sequences, 10 individually assignable
- Control unit: M Touch Flex with touch display and remaining time display
- Rinse pump: flow rate up to 500 l/min, shortest programme runtime 20 minutes
- Heat energy: rinse temperature up to 93 °C, electrical heat output 8.5 kW at 3N AC 400V

From the factory, the system is equipped with a robust stainless steel housing and has a multi-stage filter system for effective particle retention. As key components such as the heating elements are located outside the wash cabinet, users also benefit from a reduced tendency to calcification and a gap-free design for hygienic cleanliness. The narrow, under-counter design also makes it easier to install in laboratory suites with limited space.
Relevant certifications and standards
For safety and quality assurance, the device fulfils EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-040 as well as the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It also has the VDE seal for electrical safety, while the IP protection class IP 21 guarantees protection against dripping water. The device therefore complies with high European standards and offers consistently reliable performance in everyday laboratory use.
Concrete application examples
- Cleaning heavily soiled laboratory bottles with oil or grease residues: Thanks to the robust special seals and the adapted "Oil" programme, even dried residues are reliably removed.
- Process analysis in pharmaceutical laboratories: The variable-speed pump ensures optimum rinsing pressure management to safely rinse out a wide variety of substance residues - from polymer dispersions to organic solvents.
- Historical material research: The controlled low pressure enables gentle, residue-free cleaning of delicate glassware with sensitive surfaces.
- Universal laboratory routine: In addition to Dunn or narrow-neck bottles, vials, test tubes and pipettes can also be reliably cleaned in large quantities using a modular carrier system.
FAQs
How can I prevent sensitive glassware from being damaged?
Use the flexible basket modules together with the EasyLoad system. Holding positions are placed on nozzle tips so that secure fixation is guaranteed without putting too much pressure on sensitive surfaces.
What role does the integrated WiFi communication module play?
The device can be integrated directly into digital laboratory contexts. This allows process data to be documented or software updates for the cleaning runs to be installed without the need for additional hardware.
Is it possible to retrofit additional dosing modules for special cleaning agents?
Yes, an interface for external dosing modules is available for the use of certain detergents. This means that the lab washer can be adapted to new cleaning requirements at any time.
How high is the energy efficiency in daily operation?
The combination of a variable-speed heating pump, adapted wash programmes and the EcoDry system ensures that water and energy consumption are optimised. This has a positive effect on operating costs, especially in laboratory operation with several wash cycles per day.
Conclusion
The appliance combines powerful and economical cleaning technology with convenient operation. Thanks to modular loading systems, various connection options and the automatic drying concept, a high level of process reliability is guaranteed in every laboratory. There are a variety of programmes for different types of soiling and materials, which can be selected quickly using the touch-based control system. Its robust, tried-and-tested seals and standard-compliant safety ensure reliable long-term operation - ideal for professional use in laboratory environments.
