Miele HM 16-80 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

Do not damage, remove or bypass
the safety components or control
elements on the appliance.
Use
When the ironer is heated up there
is an acute danger of burning:
– if the heater plate is touched
– if the foot pedal is pressed down
while fingers or hands are positioned
between the raised roller and the
heater plate to smooth an article.
Do not unscrew the cap to the wa-
ter reservoir when ironing with
steam. The water in the reservoir is very
hot and there would be a severe dan-
ger of scalding if it was opened.
Never drape items over the heater
plate when it is heated up.
This is a fire hazard
Hang laundry on the swing out bar.
The swing out bar is only to be
used for hanging laundry. Swing it back
immediately after use. Take care not to
press down on the bar when it is swung
out. There is a danger that this could tip
the ironer over.
Switch the appliance off before re-
moving the plug from the electricity
socket.
Pull only on the plug and not on the
cable.
Do not lay the connection cable
over the heater plate when it is
heated up. This could damage the ca-
ble - danger of electric shock.
Use the cable holders attached to the
appliance to wind the cable away.
Warning and safety instructions
Do not install the ironer in a room
where the temperature may drop
down to or below freezing. The very low
temperatures could cause the water in
the reservoir or in the steam connection
hoses to freeze causing damage to the
appliance.
Never allow children to play on or
near the rotary ironer or to operate
it themselves.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the appli-
ance and its surroundings in a clean
condition at all times. Any damage
which may be caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by
the appliance guarantee.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-
formance and product liability claims
may be invalidated.
Disposal of your old appliance
Switch off and disconnect the appli-
ance from the power supply. Cut off
and render any plug useless. Cut off
the cable directly behind the appliance
to prevent misuse. This should be done
by a competent person.
Ensure that the appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.
