Warning and Safety instructions 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. 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.
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is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or – the mains fuse is disconnected, or it is switched off at the mains, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).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.

Preparing the laundry Condition of laundry For a good finish, the ideal residual moisture level is about 25%. Rinsing the laundry using hot water in the final rinse helps to reduce the residual moisture level, and the residual heat in the laundry will help keep processing time down, thus saving energy. Laundry with a synthetic fibre content greater than 50% (e.g. Dralon) must not be ironed as the high temperatures would melt the fabric.
Operation Ironing ^ Insert the plug in the socket. Check that the finger guard is functioning properly. The finger guard is a safety feature which must be checked daily for proper functioning before the machine is used. ^ Press the 0 - I button. The indicator in the button will light up. Rotary ironers with coin operated mechanism: ^ When the finger guard is activated the roller stops and the heater plate will disengage.
Operation Material Symbol Temperature range H 40 - 60°C Polyester / artificial silk ß Low temperature Silk / wool ßß Medium temperature Cottons / linen ßßß High temperature Rotary ironers with coin operated mechanism: ^ Select the roller speed, depending on the degree of dampness and the type of laundry to be ironed. ^ Insert a coin or token. The pre-set duration in minutes will appear in the display. ^ When the "Heating" light % goes out, the ironer is ready for use.
Operation ^ Release the foot pedal once the item has been placed on the roller. The heater plate will engage. When feeding in thicker items of laundry it is important to avoid putting a strain on specific points of the roller/heater plate. Feed items into the ironer is such a way that that seams, waistbands etc. are not doubled over. Rotary ironers with coin mechanism: ^ Feed items across the feed-in table into the ironer. ^ Smooth items from the middle outwards towards the edges.
Notes Preparation of the working area Setting up your working area in as practical and convenient way as possible will ensure greater efficiency when ironing. A height adjustable chair will ensure a comfortable ironing position for all users. The machine should be installed to give maximum light to the feed-in table.
Notes Protection of the motor and the roller cover Disengage the heater plate during pauses between ironing and when you have finished ironing. This helps prolong the life of the roller cover and protects the motor. It also helps to prolong the life of the machine. It is very important to avoid running the ironer without passing laundry through it. Do not restrict ironing smaller articles to any one part of the roller; make use of the whole roller width.
Cleaning and care The ironer generally requires very little attention. Cleaning the heater plate Limescale and starch deposits can stick to the heater plate. It should therefore be cleaned 1-3 times a week, depending on the degree of soiling. If the steel wool padding needs replacing, this must be done by a Miele authorised service technician. When re-covering the roller, the cover should be between 656 mm and 664 mm wide to ensure that the whole cylindrical width of the roller is covered.

Important notes for the installer The rotary ironer must be commissioned by a Miele authorised service technician. This machine must not be operated in the same room as dry cleaning machines which use solvents containing PERs or CFCs. Escaping vapours could ignite on the motor and form hydrochloric acid which can have dangerous consequences. To ensure optimum flow, the ducting should be laid with as few bends as possible and all connections and joins should be airtight.
