Heater plate care
Regular heater plate care is essential for protecting the roller drive and the padding. Refer
to the instructions in the Miele Ironing Handbook. Always wax the heater plate after clean-
ing. Failure to exercise due care and attention can result in a significant reduction in the
service life of the ironer.
The heater plate for this ironer is made of aluminium.
Coarse-grained scouring agents or abrasive cleaning cloths must not be used for clean-
ing aluminium heater plates.
For optimum results, we recommend using the Miele cleaning set. The cleaning set con-
tains a cleaning cloth, an ironer waxing cloth and ironing wax. This set is available as an
optional accessory.
Residue (such as starch and detergent residues) may deposit on the heater plate. For this
reason, clean the heater plate as appropriate for the degree of soiling before starting work.
When the red
symbol lights up, this signals that the heater plate requires cleaning and
waxing in cleaning mode.
Starting the cleaning programme
Press and hold the
button for more than 3 seconds.
The ironer is now in the cleaning programme. 80 °C is shown in the display.
If the current ironing temperature is above 80 °C, the
symbol is displayed and the
ironer is cooled down.
The cleaning process can be started when the
button is flashing.
Press the flashing
button to start the ironer in the cleaning programme.
The ironer can then be cleaned using the cleaning cloth.
