Regard the national and local codes and stan dards.

Keep these instructions in a safe place for referen ce, and pass them on to any future user.

Proper use

This rotary iron is only intended for ironing fabrics

that were washed in water. Check fabric care labels to verify that the articles can be machine-ironed.

Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abi

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

If the rotary iron is operated in an area accessible

to the public, the operator must ensure that the appliance can be used safely.

Only allow trained personnel to operate the machi-

ne.

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

–

the circuit breaker has been "tripped".

–

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety

components or control elements of the appliance.

Only operate the rotary iron when all removable

outer casings are in place 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.

Do not allow children to play on or near the rotary

iron, or to operate the controls or unit.

Danger of burns when the heater plate is touched.

Do not smooth an item between the heater plate and the roller.

Never drape items over the heater plate when it is

heated. This is a fire hazard.

Hang laundry on the laundry bar.

The laundry bar is only intended for hanging laundry on. Swing it back immediately after use. Take care not to press down on the bar when it is swung out. The rotary iron could tip over.

Turn the appliance off before pulling 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 on the appliance to secure the cord.

Do not modify the machine power cord or plug.

Be certain this appliance is properly installed and

grounded by an authorized technician. For electrical safety this machine must be grounded. It is imperati ve that this basic safety requirement be tested by a qualified electrician. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

The exhaust air duct must have an inside diameter of 2 3/4" (70 mm).

Adequate ventilation of the installation room must be ensured.

The open end of an exhaust air duct to the outdoors must be protected against the effects of weather.

The on-site exhaust air duct and outlet to the out doors must be regularly checked for lint deposits and cleaned if necessary.

Electrical connection

All electrical work must be performed by a

qualified service technician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
