Check the iron for damage. The iron must not be used if it has
been dropped, if there is any visible damage or if it is leaking.

Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains
electricity supply.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Always remove and unwind the mains connection cable
completely from the lower storage compartment.

If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type available from Miele. For safety
reasons this must only be fitted by Miele Service or a Miele
authorised service technician.

A damaged ironing table cover could be dangerous.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household
wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
