Preparing The Laundry; Residual Moisture In The Laundry - Miele PM 1210 Operating Instructions Manual

en-CA - Preparing the laundry

Residual moisture in the laundry

For a good result and optimum iron per‐
formance the ideal residual moisture level
for the PM 1214 and PM 1217 lies between
15% and 25%, for the PM 1210 at 15%.
The ideal residual moisture level depends
on the composition of the fabric.

Preparing the laundry

Before starting to ironer, sort the laundry ac‐
cording to type and fabric. In the process,
pay attention to the care label. We recom‐
mend that the laundry be sorted in the fol‐
lowing order:
Material Symbol
Nylon, other synthet‐
ics
Then:
Wool, silk
And then
Cotton, linen
If it is necessary to switch to a lower tem‐
perature because the temperature is too
high, the  display symbol will indicate that
the temperature is currently too high and the
heating is being deactivated. As soon as the
 display symbol extinguishes, the selec‐
ted temperature is reached. Iron starched
laundry last so that any starch remaining on
the heater plate does not get onto other
laundry. Items with buttons must be fed in
such a way that the buttons are pointing to‐
wards the roller padding. If the buttons are
facing upwards, there is a danger that they
could be damaged or torn off when being
fed into the ironer. To protect the heater
plate, place a cloth over zippers, metal but‐
tons, and metal hooks before ironing. Do
not iron any kind of metal and plastic buckle
or extremely high buttons (such as ball-sha‐
ped buttons).
Before using the rotary iron for the first
time, clean the heater plate by passing a
Miele cleaning cloth across the entire
width of the roller. Then, wax the heater
plate using the wax sparingly.
