Warning and safety instructions

Read the operating instructions
carefully before using this appliance
for the first time. They contain impor-
tant information about the safety, use
and maintenance of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents, and damage to the appli-
ance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference, and pass them
on to any future user.

sively for ironing textiles which are

Technical and electrical safety
Before setting up the appliance,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install and use a damaged ap-
pliance.
A damaged appliance is danger-
ous. Switch off at the mains and
call the Service Department for assis-
tance.
Before connecting the appliance,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
quency) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap-
pliance and an effective earthing sys-
tem which complies with local and
4
national safety regulations.
It is most important that this basic
safety requirement is regularly tested
by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
The appliance is built in accor-
dance with current safety require-
ments. Unauthorised repairs could re-
sult in unforeseen dangers for the user,
for which the manufacturer cannot ac-
cept responsibility. Repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele approved en-
gineer.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the appli-
ance be guaranteed.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
