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.

If the ironer is used in a publically

accessible room, it is the supervisor's
responsibility to ensure that operators are
able to use it safely.

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 ironer could be
dangerous.

If the connection cable is damaged, it

must be replaced by a Miele approved
service technician.

Before connecting the ironer, ensure that

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

The electrical safety of this ironer can

only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between it and an effective
earthing system which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested,
and where there is any doubt the on-site
wiring system 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).

This ironer complies with all relevant

local and national safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for which
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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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
the mains fuse is disconnected, or it is

–

switched off at the mains, 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 appliance.

Any removable outer panels must be

back in place, and all moving or
electrical parts shielded before it 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 straps, scarves and ties etc. could be
taken in by the roller.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This ironer is not a toy! To avoid the risk

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

Do not drape laundry over the heater

plate when it is heated up. Fire hazard.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the
machine during transportation. 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 that 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.

Disposing of your old machine

Electrical and electronic 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 machine.

Please do not therefore dispose of it with
your general waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community
waste collection / recycling centre, or
contact Miele for advice.

Please ensure that it presents no danger to
children whilst awaiting disposal.
