Cleaning and waxing the heater
plate
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the
heater plate is essential for the protection of
the motor and the roller cover. Please follow
the notes in the Miele Ironing Handbook on
ironing and cleaning and care. The heater
plate must be waxed every time it is
cleaned. Failure to exercise due care and at‐
tention can result in a significant reduction
in the life cycle of the ironer.
The heater plate of this rotary ironer is
made of aluminum. For this reason, do
not use coarse scouring agents or abra‐
sive cleaning cloths. For cleaning, use on‐
ly the Miele cleaning set. It includes a
cleaning cloth, wax cloth, and ironer wax.
This set can be ordered as a Miele acces‐
sory.
Use only the cleaning cloth approved by
Miele to clean the aluminum heater plate.
Residue (starch, detergent) may deposit in
the heater plate. For this reason, clean the
heater plate according to degree of soiling,
before starting work.
The ironer has a cleaning program. The PM
1217 also has an indicator  which will
light up in the display after 40 operating
hours (factory default setting) to prompt
you to clean and wax the heater plate. The
interval at which the prompt appears is set
by Miele Service.

To start the cleaning mode, press the
"Clean / Wax"  button and then the tem‐
perature selection button . In this case, the
temperature is lowered to 80°C (175°F) and
the fan is turned off.
In case of heavier deposits, use the Miele
cleaning cloth. While doing so, use the low‐
est temperature setting and the lowest
roller speed. Wax the heater please after
every cleaning process as described in the
following section. Once the waxing has
been successfully carried out in waxing
mode, the interval for the cleaning prompt
indicator in the display (PM1217 has a fac‐
tory default of 40 hours) is reset. For the
PM1210 and PM1240 the same reminder
can be activated by Miele Service (Option).
