IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
~
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
clothing when using the rotary iron.
Items such as wide sleeves or apron
strings could be wound in the roller.
~
Remove all jewlery and tie back long
hair before ironing.
~
Do not allow children to play on or
near the rotary iron, or to operate it
themselves.
~
Close supervision is necessary for
any appliance being used by or near
children. Do not leave appliance
unattended while connected.
~
When the rotary iron is heated there
is a danger of burns:
– if the heater plate is touched.
– if the foot pedal is pressed down
while fingers or hands are positioned
between the raised heater plate and
the roller to smooth an item.
~
When the steam setting is on, do
not unscrew the cap to the water
reservoir. Danger of burns!
~
Always disconnect appliance from
electrical outlet when filling with water
or emptying, and when not in use.

cause pitting corrosion of the water
reservoir.

plate when it is heated.
This is a fire hazard. Hang laundry on
the laundry bar.

~
Hang laundry on the laundry swing
out bar. The swing out bar is only to be
used to hang laundry. Swing it back
immediately after use. Take care not to
press down on the rod when it is swung
out, as this could cause the iron to tip
over.
~
Turn the appliance off before
removing the plug from the electrical
outlet.
~
Pull only on the plug and not on the
power cord.
~
Do not lay the power cord over the
heater plate when it is heated. This
could damage the cord - danger of
electric shock.
Use the cable holders attached to the
appliance to secure the cord.
~
Do not allow cord to touch hot
surfaces. Let appliance coll completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely
around appliance when storing.
~
Do not store the iron in a room
where there is a risk of frost occurring.
Frozen water in the reservoir and steam
line can damage the appliance.

Accessories should only be used if
approved by Miele. If other parts are
used, warranty, performance and
product liability claims may be void.
Regard the national and local codes
and standards.
