Miele PLW 8683 CD U GD OIL CM LAN laboratory dishwasher
This laboratory washer impresses with its high capacity, advanced drying system and oil and grease-resistant seals. It is ideal for laboratories where a wide range of glassware - from narrow-necked glassware to pipettes - needs to be cleaned thoroughly and safely. Compared to similar devices on the market, it offers a particularly efficient combination of rinsing pressure and spray arm monitoring as well as integrated conductivity control, which ensures consistent cleaning quality.
Reliable cleaning and drying solutions
The laboratory washer has been specially developed to cover a wide range of requirements in research, quality control and routine analyses. Its spacious wash cabinet makes it a flexible and time-saving all-rounder. Thanks to the extensive selection of short, standard and special programmes (e.g. for inorganic and organic residues), application-optimised reprocessing is possible. The integrated DryPlus hot air drying system with upstream HEPA class H14 filter also ensures low-germ and residue-free results. One of the most important features is the oil programme mode, which, together with the oil and grease-resistant door seals, ensures reliable cleaning of oily residues.
To maximise ease of use, the appliance features the M Touch Flex operating concept. This full-touch colour display enables intuitive control. The machine also offers various safety features: The rinsing pressure monitor recognises sluggish pump performance, while the spray arm monitor immediately reports blocked spray arms. These functions ensure a consistently high cleaning quality.

Certifications and standards
The device fulfils the requirements of EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-040 and bears the VDE mark for electrical safety. The RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU is taken into account, while the IP protection class IP 21 protects the device from dripping water. In addition, the gap-free welded stainless steel sink compartment emphasises durability and hygiene.
Typical application examples
- Cleaning narrow-neck and wide-neck bottles in microbiological laboratories to prepare sterile culture media.
- Preparation of oil-wetted devices for industrial material analyses; the oil- and grease-resistant seals benefit here in particular.
- Efficient and gentle cleaning of pipettes and sensitive plastics in research facilities and university laboratories.
- Robust enough for chemical synthesis laboratories to completely reprocess containers with aggressive substances or organic residues (e.g. residues of acetonitrile or phenol)
FAQs
How does the oil programme option work
?
The machine has a specially customised cleaning process that uses oil and grease-resistant sealing rings and a higher rinsing pressure profile. This reliably removes even stubborn oily residues.
What are the advantages of the EasyLoad system?
EasyLoad makes it much easier to pick up glassware as the holders adapt intelligently. This means that fewer adjustments have to be made to individual nozzles or holding racks, which saves time during each loading process.
Can the device be connected to external process documentation?
Yes, thanks to the integrated WLAN/Ethernet communication module, the system offers the option of sending all relevant process data to compatible documentation software or a network printer.
What role does conductivity monitoring play?
Continuous conductivity measurement ensures that no residues of detergent or substances remain inside the wash cabinet. This is particularly important in laboratories where absolute cleanliness of the glassware is required.
How does rinsing pressure and spray arm monitoring support process reliability?
Correctly set rinsing pressure is crucial for thorough cleaning. If the pressure is too low or a spray arm blockage is detected, the system sounds an alarm. This allows the cleaning result to be reliably monitored.
Conclusion
Thanks to its modular loading system, extensive range of programmes and fully integrated safety functions, this lab washer is a future-proof investment for demanding laboratory environments. The combination of fast and gentle cleaning, powerful drying and durable components fulfils all the requirements for professional use. Last but not least, the integrated automation and documentation options are impressive, significantly reducing the workload and potential for errors in the laboratory.
