Warning and safety instructions

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the ironer please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, use and maintenance.

Technical and electrical safety

Before setting up the ironer, check it

for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use it if it has been damaged. A damaged appliance may be dangerous.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This ironer must only be used for

ironing articles which were washed in water and which have a care label stating that the article is suitable for machine ironing.

This ironer is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it correctly by a person responsible for their safety.

If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to avoid a hazard.

Before connecting the ironer, ensure

that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. Where there is any doubt, the on-site electrical wiring should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage or injury caused by an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the ironer to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Warning and safety instructions

This ironer complies with all relevant

local and national safety requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the ironer until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

The ironer is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains, or

– the mains fuse is disconnected, or

the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

Do not damage, remove or bypass

the safety features, fixtures and control elements of this ironer.

Any removable outer panels must be

in place, and all moving or electrical parts shielded before the ironer is switched on.

This ironer may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Correct use

When working with the ironer always

wear close fitting clothes. Wide sleeves, apron strings, ties or scarves could be taken in by the roller.

Remove any rings, bracelets, or

other jewellery before starting to work. Tie back long hair.

When heated up there is an acute

risk of burning:

if the heater plate is touched,

–

if the foot pedal is pressed down

–

while fingers or hands are positioned between the raised heater plate and the roller.

Do not unscrew the water reservoir

cap whilst ironing with steam. Danger of scalding with hot steam.

This ironer is not a toy! To avoild the

risk of injury do not let children play on or near it, or with the controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.

Never use softened or distilled water

in this ironer. This will cause pitting corrosion in the water reservoir.

Do not drape laundry over the

heater plate when it is heated up. Fire hazard.

Use the swing out bar.

It is designed for hanging laundry on. After use it should be swung back out of the way. Take care not to press down on the bar when it is swung out. There is a danger that this could tip the ironer over.

Warning and safety instructions

Switch the ironer off before

removing the plug from the socket.

Do not pull it by the cable.

Do not lay the connection cable over

the heater plate when it is heated up. This could damage the cable - danger of electric shock. Use the cable holders on the ironer to wind the cable away.

Do not install the ironer in a room

where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen water can cause damage to the water reservoir and steam hose.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance or machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Safety

Do not remove the safety device until the ironer has been set up on its rollers.

^ To remove it simply pull it off.

Moving the ironer

Store it in a safe place for future use. It should be fitted to the ironer again before moving it (e.g. when moving house). Fold the ironer up before fitting it.

Moving the ironer

The ironer is fitted with four rollers.

^ Hold the ironer by the ironing table to

push it or to pull it towards you.

To overcome obstacles such as carpet edges and doorways, but also to steer it:

^ Tilt it slightly.

Hold the ironing table securely and

pull on the release catch situated at the back of the ironing table on the right hand side.

The ironer can be moved either in the upright position or when folded up.

Swing the top section of the ironer to the horizontal position for using it, or swing it down in the vertical position for storage. Then let go of the release catch.

Before folding the ironing away or moving it, make sure the water reservoir cap is tightly secured to prevent spillages.

Before using for the first time

Connection cable

The mains connection cable is wound round a hook underneath the ironing table.

^ Unwind the cable.

Do not insert the plug into the electrical socket yet.

N.B. The plug shown is for illustration only.

Dust cover

The dust cover which protects the roller during transit has to be removed.

^ First remove the feed-in table by

lifting it out of the right hand holder, then pull it out to the left of the roller.

Then plug the appliance in and switch it on. The heater plate will then rise automatically.

The protective dust cover can now be pulled out and off.

Before ironing

Preparation of the working area

To ensure an even distrubution of steam make sure the ironer is level and secure and that it cannot roll sideways.

A height-adjustable chair is useful and also a flat surface, e.g. a table, to lay the ironed laundry on.

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 coathangers immediately after ironing.

Small items can be hung over the swing out bar.

Have some water ready for redamping the laundry if necessary.

Preparing the laundry

Correct preparation of the laundry is essential for successful ironing.

Before ironing, the laundry should be:

damped down if you are ironing

–

without steam

pulled into shape and smoothed out

–

sorted

–

Damping down when ironing without steam

The laundry needs to be sufficiently damp, so that when it is passed just once through the rotary ironer at the correct temperature, it will come out smooth and dry. Dampen the laundry as you would for hand ironing, preferably several hours beforehand so that the articles achieve a uniform degree of dampness throughout.

If a tumble dryer is being used, select a "Machine iron" programme.

Use warm water if preparation time is short and also to redampen.

More advice on correct dampness

Material Dampness for ironing

Silk wrap in a damp cloth to

Synthetics e.g. Dralon, Nylon,

Polyester etc.

Wool

(e.g. trousers)

Cotton slightly damp

Linen quite damp

avoid water marks

slightly damp to dry

press under a damp cloth

Before ironing

Pulling into shape and smoothing out

Pull the dampened laundry into shape as usual.

Smooth out ribbons, straps, seams and hems.

Large items such as table cloths, bed linen etc should be folded lengthways into a number of pleats so that they can be ironed as easily as possible.

Sorting

Sort the laundry according to how much heat is required for ironing. This way you can start by ironing at a lower temperature and then gradually increase the temperature according to the fabric being ironed.

First iron synthetic fibres such as nylon, polyester and artificial silk which only require a low temperature. Then iron silk, wool, cotton and linen at increasing temperatures.

Iron starched items last of all to avoid any starch deposits from affecting the finish of other items.

Before using the ironer for the first time:

You may be able to see or feel a 2-3 mm high ridge along the roller. This will even itself out after about 3 hours of ironing enabling the under cloth to settle. It has no effect on the ironing.

Checking the effectiveness of the finger guard

The finger guard is a safety feature and should be checked each time before the ironer is used.

With the ironer switched on, press the

foot pedal right down. – the heater plate comes down onto the rotating roller.

^ If you now lift the finger guard, the

roller stops rotating and the heater plate rises up.

This shows that the finger guard is working.

Let go of the finger guard and remove your foot from the foot pedal.

Press the foot pedal right down agan. – the heater plate lowers and the roller rotates.

Steam

This ironer can also be used with steam for ironing dry or slightly damp laundry.

Ironing with and without steam

If your laundry is sufficiently damp for ironing you can iron without using the steam function. Use steam for ironing dry laundry, or laundry that is only very slightly damp.

Do not use distilled water on its

own, as this will cause pitting corrosion on the reservoir.

Fill the reservoir to the lower edge of the neck with tap water. Do not fill it any higher.

Filling the water reservoir

Before filling the reservoir with water switch the appliance off at the mains.

Fill the water reservoir with tap water with the ironer set up in the working position. Do not use proprietary bottled de-ionised water!

To make it easier use the screw-on funnel.

If the water hardness level in your area exceeds 3 mmol/l (300 mg/l or 17º dH) it is advisable to mix the tap water with distilled water in a ratio of 1:1.

Replace the cap making sure it is

securely tightened. If it is not secure there is a danger of water leaking out of the reservoir when the ironer is folded up again.

If the reservoir empties during ironing the indicator lamp in the steam switch will go out to remind you that it needs to be filled.

Danger of burning! To prevent the risk of scalding yourself with hot steam do not open the cap fully. It can be opened very slightly to release the steam.

Wait until all the steam has escaped before opening the cap and filling the reservoir with water.

There may still be residual water in the tank. The amount will depend on the water hardness level and the amount of limescale present.

One reservoir is sufficient for approx. 40 minutes of ironing with steam. It takes approx. 4 minutes for the water to heat up to the correct temperature for steam ironing. The heating-up time may change as a result of limescale building up in the reservoir.

It is advisable to switch off the steam

function during an interruption to ironing and at the end of ironing.

Emptying the water reservoir

Before emptying the reservoir

make sure that the water in it has cooled down and that the roller has cooled down.

The reservoir should be emptied after each use to avoid damage from deposits present in the water (e.g. chlorine, calcium or copper).

^ Unscrew the water reservoir cap. ^ To make it easier use the screw-on

funnel.

Steam

The screw-on funnel can be stored

on the cable holder when not in use.

Slowly fold the iron up and at the same time hold a suitable container (e.g. measuring jug) underneath the reservoir opening to catch the water.

When all the water has run out replace the cap.

Ironing

Switching on and off

The I-0 "On-Off" switch is used for switching the ironer on and off.

To switch on

^ Press the I-0 switch.

If this light goes out from time to time during ironing the water reservoir is empty.

To switch off

^ Press and release the Q switch

- the indicator light in the switch will go out.

Ironing

Selecting the roller speed

There are 5 roller speed settings, from low (approx. 2 m/min) to high (approx.

4.5 m/min).

A low speed makes it easier to iron complicated articles such as shirts and blouses. A lower speed should also be selected for folded items. Reducing the speed will enable them to get dry and smooth in just one or two passes through the ironer.

Thinner, single thickness items, e.g. tea towels can be ironed at a higher speed.

Ironing

The ironing process is controlled by the foot pedal which has three positions:

– raised (rest position)

– pressing

– ironing

Ironing

Set the roller speed selector to the speed you require.

^ Press the foot pedal right down.

Do not reach between the heater plate and the rotating roller. Danger of burning and squashing your fingers.

To press:

Press the foot pedal right down, then lift it up a little. The roller will stop turning and the heater plate will remain in contact with the laundry.

To raise the heater plate:

Take your foot off the pedal.

Ironing

Feeding the laundry in

Arrange laundry along the feed-in

table so that it is straight and smooth.

^ Then carefully turn the roller by hand

until the laundry makes contact with the heater plate (keep your fingers away from the heater plate).

Then: ^ Press the foot pedal down.

Removing the feed-in table

The feed-in table can be removed when ironing shaped garments, e.g. skirts.

^ First lift it out of the right hand holder,

and then pull it out to the left of the roller.

Hanging bar

Ironed laundry can be hung over the swing out bar to avoid creasing.

Take care not to press down on the bar when it is swung out. There is a danger that this could tip the ironer over.

Ironing

Useful tips

If creases appear on items being ironed: Stop the roller and pull the item back slightly. Smooth it out and if necessary dampen it with a wet cloth.

Try to use the full width of the roller to help the roller cover maintain its shape.

For small items, e.g. handkerchiefs, alternate between using the right and left hand sides of the roller.

Items with raised buttons should be ironed face down on to the roller so that they are pressed into the cushioned surface.

A cloth should be placed over zips, metal buttons and hooks to protect the heater plate during ironing.

To protect the heater plate do not iron very bulky or heat-sensitive buttons.

When you have nearly finished ironing you can turn the temperature selector to I "Cool" and continue ironing small items with residual heat.

After ironing

Switch the ironer off.

Switch off Q "Steam"

Set the temperature selector to I

"Cool".

Switch off at the socket and withdraw

the plug.

If the ironer is to be put away:

Allow the heater plate to cool down.

Empty the water reservoir.

^ ^ Fold the rotary ironer up. ^ Wind up the mains cable. ^ Cover the ironer.

Do not install the ironer in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen water can cause damage to the water reservoir and steam hose.

Power cut

In the event of a power cut activate the emergency release.

If there is a power cut whilst you are ironing the heater plate will stay in contact with the roller. This traps the laundry with the danger of it singeing.

To free it:

Ironing

^ Pull the emergency release catch

upwards.

–

This releases the pressure enabling the laundry to be pulled forwards towards you, or downwards off the roller, depending on how far through the ironer it had passed.

When power is restored (the indicator light in the On-Off button comes on) press the emergency release catch back down. You can now continue ironing.

Ironing tips

The following tips are intended as helpful suggestions to get you started. With practice you will probably find alternative ways of ironing which suit your style of working.

Tea towels, hand towels, handkerchiefs, serviettes etc.

Place on the feed-in table with the straight grain of the fabric towards the feed-in table. This will prevent the item going out of shape and it will be easier to fold. Handkerchiefs and serviettes can be fed into the ironer horizontally and then folded and ironed again if wished. Use the full width of the roller.

Table cloths

To avoid creases iron the middle section first.

Then pass both sides of the

un-ironed sections through the ironer.

Leave the ironed middle section hanging over the left hand side of the roller to prevent creases.

^ After folding, table cloths can be

passed through the ironer again if wished.

Place the table cloth across the roller with the ends hanging off either end.

Then fold in half.

Sheets

Sheets can be ironed in the same way as table cloths, or if a lengthwise fold is acceptable they can be folded and ironed.

Embroidered sections and raised patterns on linen should be ironed on the right side first and then from the reverse.

Ironing tips

Duvet covers

^ First do up poppers and buttons.

Feed this end through the left hand side of the ironer first. Buttons should face into the roller.

Pillow cases

First do up poppers and buttons and

feed this end through the ironer first. Then iron the whole pillow case from both sides.

Shirts

Remove the feed-in table for ironing shirts.

Iron in the following order:

^ Sleeves and cuffs ^ Back ^ Front ^ Collar

Iron duvets in two runs lengthwise.

Ironing tips

Cuffs and sleeves

Pull sleeves smooth ready for ironing.

Do not iron the cuff yet.

^ Iron the sleeves from the cuff seam to

the underarm seam.

Back / shoulder yoke

Shirts with a shoulder yoke:

^ Fold the yoke along the back seam. ^ Place the shirt side on to the roller

and iron from the left shoulder seam to the collar.

Iron both sides of each sleeve. Double cuffs should be folded (button hole to button hole) and ironed.

Then turn the shirt inside out and iron from the collar to the right shoulder seam.

Ironing tips

Back

Iron the back in two sections, from the middle to the side seams.

^ Pull the shirt over the roller as far as

the yoke seam - or to the collar seam on shirts without a yoke - and smooth it out.

Front

The fronts are ironed in one pass together with the lower section of the back up to the armhole seam.

Start with the front left.

^ Smooth the shirt out and then iron

from the armhole to the collar.

^ Turn the shirt inside out to iron the

other side.

Iron from the middle of the back to the armhole seam. Then iron the rest of the back as far as the side seam together with the front section.

Iron the second part of the back as the first section, but with the shirt inside out.

Ironing tips

Collar

Iron the collar from both sides. Do not iron any buttons!

^ Turn the collar and press if wished.

Nightdresses

Iron sleeves, yokes and back on a nightdress as you would a shirt.

To iron the front:

Pyjamas

Pyjamas tops should be ironed following instructions for shirts. Iron trouser legs on pyjamas separately.

Iron one leg from the front and the

other from the back.

Iron from the top to the bottom.

Then pull into shape and iron to the

waist. Pull the elasticated section tight.

Aprons and work jackets

Iron workwear jackets like shirts.

Aprons

^ Iron any straps as far as the apron

first.

^ Then iron either to the waistband or

across the apron. Leave the bib hanging over the left hand side of the roller.

Pull the nightdress over the roller leaving the sleeves and bodice hanging over the left hand side of the roller.

Iron starting from the left hand side seam and finishing at the right hand side seam. Then adjust the bodice section on the roller to iron it.

If there is a collar follow the instructions for ironing shirts.

Pressing trousers

Iron each leg separately. Leave the

top of the trousers hanging over the edge of the roller.

^ Cover with a damp cloth and turn the

roller by hand until the trouser leg is covered by the heater plate.

Ironing tips

^ Do the same to the other trouser leg.

To press skirts

Remove the feed-in table.

Pull the skirt over the free end of the roller as far as the waistband.

Cover with a damp cloth.

Iron one section at a time.

Maintenance and care

Disconnect the ironer from the

electricity supply by switching off at the wall socket and withdrawing the plug before any cleaning and maintenance work.

Cleaning the heater plate

Limescale deposits and starch residues can be removed from the heater plate using a suitable proprietary cleaning agent. Make sure that the ironer is cold before cleaning it. It will be easier to clean if you pull up the emergency release catch.

Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.

Cleaning the casing

Depending on how dirty it is, the casing can be wiped down with a dry or a damp cloth.

Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.

Cleaning the water reservoir

Limescale deposits in the water reservoir, caused by hard water, can cause the steam jets to become blocked. Should this happen, the limescale deposits can be removed by rinsing out the water reservoir with fresh tap water.

Disconnect the appliance from the

electricity supply by switching off at the socket and withdrawing the plug.

Allow the ironer to cool down

before rinsing out the reservoir.

Depending on the hardness level of your water supply, the reservoir will need to be rinsed out with tap water after every 3 to 10 fills of the reservoir.

Stubborn limescale deposits can be removed with a proprietary descaling agent.

Make sure that you follow the manufacturer's instructions on dosage, concentration and how long it should be used for.

Fill the water reservoir approximately half full (0.4 litres) with a solution of descaling agent and replace the cap.

Roll the ironer backwards and forwards several times.

To prevent the risk of damaging laundry when next ironing with steam, the resevoir should be rinsed out twice with fresh tap water after descaling it.

For instructions on filling and emptying the reservoir see "Steam".

Maintenance and care

Ironing cover

The ironing cover is 100% cotton with woven edges and is wound round the roller twice for maximum moisture absorption. When washed it will only shrink up to a maximum of 6% which means it can be refitted easily. The cotton undercloth attached to the roller prevents the ironing cover from slipping.

If laundry does not pass sufficiently smoothly through the roller or if the cover is particularly soiled it can be washed at 60°C using a proprietary detergent.

It is normal for the ironing cover to become slightly brown with use. If, however, the cover begins to look very unsightly, it can be replaced easily.

Ironing covers are available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Replacing the ironing cover

The ironing cover should only be

changed when the appliance is cold.

Remove the feed-in table.

^ Undo the ironing cover cords at each

end of the roller.

Unwind the cover.

Maintenance and care

Completely unwind the cotton

undercloth attached to the roller and let it hang down smoothly.

Insert the raw edge of the new

ironing cloth into the retaining slot with the wrong side down. Keep side ties hanging free and smooth out.

Take hold or the cloth by each side edge and keeping it taut place over the heater plate.

The slot which holds the cotton undercloth is now at the top.

Turn the roller by hand in the direction you iron (see arrow) until the cover retaining slot is at the bottom.

Maintenance and care

Switch on the ironer.

^ Press the foot pedal and "iron" the

cloth round.

Do not let the cords get under the cloth as it turns.

After the roller has gone through three or four revolutions and the end of the ironing cover is under the heater plate:

Switch off the appliance while

keeping the foot pedal pressed down. The ironing cover is held firmly in place by the heater plate which is still lowered.

^ Tighten the cords at the left and right

hand sides of the roller, tie together and tuck in.

Put the feed-in table back in place.

Switch the ironer on - the heater plate will rise up.
