Cleaning And Care; Cleaning The Heater Plate; Roller Cover; After Sales Service - Miele HM 21-140 Professional Operating Instructions Manual

The ironer generally requires very little
attention.

Cleaning the heater plate

Limescale and starch deposits can stick to
the heater plate. It should therefore be
cleaned 1-3 times a week, depending on the
degree of soiling.
For light soiling, clean with Cleanpaste on a
wax cloth.
For heavier soiling, use a cleaning cloth
together with a cleaning mat.
The heater plate should always be waxed
after it has been cleaned.
The special ironer cleaning cloth and wax
should only be ordered from the Miele Spare
Parts Department.
,
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents
or abrasive cleaning cloths.
See the Miele Ironing Handbook for more
details.

Roller cover

Before removing the roller cover (for
cleaning or replacement) switch the ironer
off and disconnect it from the mains. Allow
the heater plate to cool down and then
remove the laundry feed-in table and use the
heater plate release mechanism to raise the
heater plate away from the roller.
When removing and replacing the roller
cover, bits of steel wool will drop onto the
ironing table and may get into the gaps
around the heater plate supports. These
should be covered over. Particles of steel
wool should be removed from the ironing
table immediately.
The roller cover should not need washing if it
has become slightly yellow, as this is normal.
Wash a heavily soiled cover in a 95 °C
programme with pre-wash and spin. The
roller cover should be wound back on to a
moving, heated roller (ß setting) while still
damp, with the heater plate engaged.

Cleaning and care

If the steel wool padding needs replacing,
this must be done by a Miele service
technician.
When re-covering the roller, the cover should
be between 656 mm and 664 mm wide to
ensure that the whole cylindrical width of the
roller is covered.
Discolouration of the roller cover
Some discolouration of the roller cover from
light to dark brown is normal.
To avoid the cover turning black:
– Always use the complete width of the
roller.
– Space out smaller items, and do not
always iron them in the same place.
– In pauses between ironing, disengage the
heater plate and reduce the temperature.
