Technical and electrical safety

Before setting up the rotary iron, check for any vi-

sible damage. Never use a damaged appliance. A damaged rotary iron is dangerous!

If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced

by a Miele authorized service technician.

A damaged appliance is dangerous. Turn off the

rotary iron, unplug from the wall outlet and contact Technical Service.

Do not operate a machine with an electrical fault

until repaired.

Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the

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

Before installation or service, disconnect the po

wer supply to the work area by removing the fuse or "tripping" the circuit breaker to the unit.

Use only genuine Miele parts. Use of non-Miele

parts may impair performance and void any guaran tees and product liability claims.

The appliance is completely isolated from the

electricity supply when:

it is turned off at the wall switch and unplugged, or

Correct dampness

For best results, the residual moisture of the laundry should be 25%.

Laundry which contains more than 50% synthetic fibers must not be ironed in this machine. The syn thetics might melt at the high temperatures. Laun dry with less synthetics can be ironed at a low temperature.

Preparing the laundry

Sort the laundry according to how much heat is re

quired for ironing.

Check the fabric care label for the correct ironing

temperature of the laundry.

Ironing tips

To avoid creasing stop the roller, pull the item back

–

slightly and smooth out. If necessary, dampen again with a wet cloth or spray bottle.

If possible, always use the whole length of the rol

–

ler, otherwise it will lose its elasticity.

For small items such as handkerchiefs, alternate

–

between the right and left hand sides of the roller.

Iron starched items last to avoid any starch transfer

–

to other items.

Items with buttons, zippers or holes should be iro

–

ned face down on to the roller so that they are pressed into the cushioned surface.

Cover zippers, metal buttons, and metal hooks with

–

a cloth to protect the heater plate.

Buttons, zippers and trim that is not heat resistant

–

or very large buttons should not be ironed. They may damage the heater plate.

Caution! Before using for the first time clean the heater plate by ironing an old cloth over the whole roller length.

I Cottons / Li-

nen

^ Start ironing at a low setting and gradually increase

the temperature according to the fabric being ironed.

If decreasing the temperature is necessary, it is only reached, once the "Heating" indicator lights again.
