Use
Correct dampness
Ironing tips
For best results, the residual moisture of the
laundry should be 25%.
– 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.
Laundry which contains more than 50%
synthetic fibers must not be ironed in this
machine. The synthetics might melt at the
high temperatures. Laundry with less
synthetics can be ironed at a low
temperature.
Preparing the laundry
^ Sort the laundry according to how much
heat is required for ironing.
^ Check the fabric care label for the correct
ironing temperature of the laundry.

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

– If possible, always use the whole length of
the roller, 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 ironed 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.

Once the "Heating" indicator goes out, the
rotary iron is ready for operation.
^ Insert the prepared laundry by feeding it
over the feed board.
^ Smooth the items during ironing from the
middle to the edges.

Frequently asked questions
Power failure
Protecting the roller and iron cover
If there is a power failure when the iron is in
use, the heater plate will stay on the roller.
The item being ironed will then be held there
possibly becoming scorched. If no laundry
is ironed the ironing cover could be damaged.
– During breaks and after ironing the heater
plate should be raised. The roller and the
iron cover durability will be increased.
Avoid running the iron without laundry.
– Use the whole roller width to iron small
laundry items. When used only on one
side the roller and iron cover is strained.
Motor protection
If the motor gets too hot due to an overload,
the motor shuts off automatically and the
heater plate raises.
^ After the motor has sufficiently cooled,
press the I button and restart ironing.
^ Pull the emergency handle 1 from its
bracket.
^ Turn the cover 2 to the side.
^ Insert the emergency handle in the
opening.
^ Turn the handle clockwise to raise the
heater plate from the roller.
If the heater plate was raised and a noticeable resistance is felt, turn the handle twice
counterclockwise.
^ Remove the emergency handle after use
from the opening and put it back in the
bracket.
^ When the power is restored, press the "I"
button to turn the rotary iron on.
10
Cleaning and Care
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the
heater plate is essential for the durability
of the motor and roller pad and cover.
Waxing the heater plate
The heater plate should be waxed daily before use with a cleaning cloth for optimum
performance.
Original cleaning cloths and ironing wax can
be obtained from Miele.
^ For cleaning and waxing the heater plate,
set the roller speed to the lowest and the
temperature to ßßß.
^ Wrap the two ends over and feed the cloth
into the rotary iron like a laundry item with
the long side (arrow) first.
^ Starting from left to right, the cloth is fed
into the iron until the entire roller length is
covered.
Cleaning the heater plate
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents,
scrubbing sponges or sand paper.
^ Sprinkle the ironing wax on the middle part
of a cleaning cloth (Miele accessory).
Only use a small quantity of wax.
Do not get wax on the roller, it will melt
and damage the roller cover.
^ Lime and starch deposits can build up on
the heater plate. Clean the heater plate
1-3 times per week with an oil cloth and
cleanpaste.
^ For stubborn deposits use a cleaning cloth
along with the cleaning mat.
^ The heater plate must be waxed after each
cleaning.
See "Miele Ironing Handbook" for further information.
11
Cleaning and Care
