It is important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer can not be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system.
This appliance is built in accordance with current safety
requirements. Unauthorized repairs could be hazardous for the user, for which the manufacturer can not accept responsibility. Repairs should only be by a Miele authorized technician. Ensure that power is not restored to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is performed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety components or control
elements on the appliance.
Only operate the rotary ironer when all removable outer casings are
fitted so that it is not possible to touch any electrical component or moving part.
This equipment has not been designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as aircraft or recreational vehicles. However, under certain circumstances it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
Use
When the ironer is heated there is a danger of burns:
–if the heater plate is touched
–if the foot pedal is pressed down while fingers or hands are positioned between the raised roller and the heater plate to smooth an article.
Never drape items over the heater plate when it is heated.
This is a fire hazard. Hang laundry on the swing out bar.
The swing out bar is only to be used for hanging laundry. Swing it
back immediately after use. Take care not to press down on the bar when it is swung out this could tip the ironer over.
Turn the appliance off before removing the plug from the
electrical outlet.
Pull only on the plug and not on the power cord.

Before ironing
Preparing the work area
A height adjustable chair is useful and also a flat surface, e.g. a table, to lay ironed laundry on.
When positioning the rotary ironer horizontally be sure to secure the appliance so that it does not roll sideways.
Place close at hand:
–a basket with the laundry ready for ironing to the left of the rotary ironer,
–a surface for the ironed laundry to the right of the rotary ironer.
Shirts, overalls and blouses etc., should be hung on hangers immediately after ironing.
Small items can be hung over the swing out bar.
Have some water ready for redamping the laundry if necessary.
