IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical and electrical safety

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read the operating instructions carefully before using this appliance for the first time. They contain important information about the safe operation and care of your appliance.

To prevent personal injury or damage to the rotary iron, it is important that you read this booklet carefully.

Keep the instructions in a safe place for reference, and pass them on to any future user.

Proper use

This rotary iron is only intended for

ironing fabrics washed in water. Check the fabric care labels to be sure the materials can be ironed.

Persons who lack physical, sensory

or mental abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Before setting up the rotary iron,

check for any visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

A damaged appliance is dangerous.

Turn off the rotary iron, unplug from the wall outlet and call Technical Service.

If the power cord is damaged it

must be replaced by a Miele authorized service technician.

Before connecting the appliance,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the household electrical supply. If in doubt, consult an electrician.

Do not modify the machine power

cord or plug.

All electrical work should be carried

out by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and national safety regulations.

To guarantee the electrical safety of

this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use an extension cord to

connect this appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Repairs should only be performed

by a Miele authorized technician. Faulty components should be replaced using Miele original parts only. Only original replacement parts guarantee the safety of the appliance.

The appliance is completely isolated

from the electricity supply when:

– it is turned off at the wall switch and

unplugged, or

– the circuit breaker has been

"tripped".

Do not damage, remove, or bypass

the safety components or control elements in the iron.

Only operate the rotary iron when all

removable outer casings are fitted so that it is impossible to touch an electrical component or moving part.

Use

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

clothing when using the rotary iron. Items such as wide sleeves or apron strings could be wound in the roller.

Remove all jewelry and tie back long

hair before ironing.

When the rotary iron 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 heater plate and the roller to smooth an item.

When the steam setting is on, do

not unscrew the cap to the water reservoir. Danger of burns!

Do not allow children to play on or

near the rotary iron, or to operate it themselves.

Do not use distilled water. It will

cause pitting corrosion of the water reservoir.

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 Miele Technical Service with specific requirements.

Never drape items over the heater

plate when it is heated. This is a fire hazard. Hang laundry on the laundry bar.

Hang laundry on the laundry bar.

The bar is only to be used to hang laundry. Swing it back immediately after use. Take care not to press down on the rod when it is swung out, as this could cause the iron to tip over.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the appliance off before

removing the plug from the electrical outlet.

Pull only on the plug and not on the

power cord.

Do not lay the power cord over the

heater plate when it is heated. This could damage the cord - danger of electric shock. Use the cable holders attached to the appliance to secure the cord.

Do not store the iron in a room

where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen water in the reservoir and steam line can damage the appliance.

Accessories

Accessories should only be used if

approved by Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims may be void.

Regard the national and local codes and standards.
