Warning and Safety instructions
Technical and electrical safety
The flatwork ironer must not be operated in the same room as dry-cleaning equipment
using perchloroethylene or solvents containing CFCs.
The flatwork ironer may only be operated in a suitable dry room.
Only operate the flatwork ironer when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is
impossible to touch an electrical component, moving part or hot machine parts.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features or control elements of the flat-
work ironer.
Do not make any alterations to the flatwork ironer unless explicitly authorised to do so
by Miele.
If the control elements or the electrical cabling insulation has been damaged, the flat-
work ironer must not be used until such damage has been repaired.
Repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel. Incorrect repairs can
cause considerable danger to users.
Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only
guarantee that the flatwork ironer fully complies with safety requirements if Miele genuine
replacement parts are used.
The electrical safety of this flatwork ironer can only be guaranteed if it is correctly
earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and regularly
tested. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for damages arising from an absent or faulty earth connection.
The flatwork ironer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply if switched off
at the mains isolator, or if the on-site mains fuse is disconnected.
Electrostatic charge may occasionally build up whilst using the flatwork ironer, depend-
ing on the type of fabric and residual moisture.
Use of the appliance
The flatwork ironer must not be operated unsupervised.
The flatwork ironer can be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, only if they are supervised whilst using
it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
dangers of such use.
Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the flatwork ironer. Never allow children
to play with the flatwork ironer.
While the flatwork ironer is switched on and heated, there is a risk of burning if the edge
of the heater plate on the laundry output side is touched.
Do not set the ironing temperature higher than the temperature given on the care label of
the laundry item you intend to iron. The laundry could ignite if the ironing temperature is set
too high.

Warning and Safety instructions
When ironing double-layered laundry items, do not put your hands between the layers
when trying to stretch the item. There is a danger that you do not move your hands out of
the way of the hot heater plate in time. This also applies to inserting your hands in pockets
whose open sides are facing the hot heater plate.
The flexible laundry feed mechanism for reverse laundry removal (optional) may only be
turned from the front.
Do not iron items with fringes, thin ties and straps, etc. on flatwork ironers with feed-in
belts. These could get tangled in the feed-in belts and cause a fault.
While using the ironer, keep your hands away from the areas between the side columns
and the roller. There is a danger of squashing your fingers in the rotating roller.
Ensure the room in which the flatwork ironer is being used is sufficiently lit.
The flatwork ironer must be switched off when not in use.
Keep the working area around the flatwork ironer free from clutter.
Make sure that a fire extinguisher is in the direct vicinity and can be used at any time.
There is a risk of fire if the ironing temperature is set too high, the laundry is not suitable for
ironing or the laundry was not cleaned in water!
The installation of the flatwork ironer in non-stationary locations (for example, on ships)
may be performed only by specialised companies/specialists if they can guarantee the
prerequisites for the safe use of the flatwork ironer.
The country-specific safety regulations and provisions, as well as standards, must be
taken into consideration.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. Using spare
parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Notes on the use of this ironer
Only responsible people over the age of 16 years who have been fully trained in the use
of the ironer should use the infeed table.
When working with the ironer, always wear close fitting clothes and keep long hair tied
back. Wide sleeves, apron straps, scarves and ties etc. could be taken in by the roller.
Remove rings and bracelets before ironing.
Smooth out folds as far away from the infeed on the infeed table as possible. Feed pil-
low cases and duvet covers into the ironer with the open end first. Do not take hold of the
corners from the inside. Do not take hold of straps or ties etc. from the inside of garments
Check daily that safety devices are correctly set. This ironer must only be used if all
safety features are functioning correctly. This way you will avoid the danger of burns,
squashed fingers and even loss of hands.
Before switching to reverse make sure that nobody is endangered.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation.
The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain
specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct
function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored
on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to disposal.
