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.
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.
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.
~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).
5
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.
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.
It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.

Moving the ironer
Safety

9
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.
The ironer can be moved either in the upright position or when folded up.
^Hold the ironing table securely and pull on the release catch situated at the back of the ironing table on the right hand side.
^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.
