155
The electrical safety of this flatwork ironer can only be guaranteed if it is correctly
earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and regularly
tested. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation inspected by a qualified elec-
trician. Miele cannot be held liable for damages arising from an absent or faulty earth con-
nection.
The flatwork ironer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply if switched off
at the mains isolator, or if the on-site mains fuse is disconnected.
Electrostatic charge may occasionally build up whilst using the flatwork ironer, depend-
ing on the type of fabric and residual moisture.
Use of the appliance
The flatwork ironer must not be operated unsupervised.
The flatwork ironer can be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, only if they are supervised whilst using
it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
dangers of such use.
Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the flatwork ironer. Never allow children
to play with the flatwork ironer.
While the flatwork ironer is switched on and heated, there is a risk of burning if the edge
of the heater plate on the laundry output side is touched.
Do not set the ironing temperature higher than the temperature given on the care label of
the laundry item you intend to iron. The laundry could ignite if the ironing temperature is set
too high.
When ironing double-layered laundry items, do not put your hands between the layers
when trying to stretch the item. There is a danger that you do not move your hands out of
the way of the hot heater plate in time. This also applies to inserting your hands in pockets
whose open sides are facing the hot heater plate.
The flexible laundry feed mechanism for reverse laundry removal (optional) may only be
turned from the front.
Do not iron items with fringes, thin ties and straps, etc. on flatwork ironers with feed-in
belts. These could get tangled in the feed-in belts and cause a fault.
While using the ironer, keep your hands away from the areas between the side columns
and the roller. There is a danger of squashing your fingers in the rotating roller.
Ensure the room in which the flatwork ironer is being used is sufficiently lit.
The flatwork ironer must be switched off when not in use.
Keep the working area around the flatwork ironer free from clutter.
Make sure that a fire extinguisher is in the direct vicinity and can be used at any time.
There is a risk of fire if the ironing temperature is set too high, the laundry is not suitable for
ironing or the laundry was not cleaned in water!
