IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

￿Before connecting the appliance, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the household electrical supply. If in doubt, consult an electrician.

￿Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

￿Defective components should be replaced by Miele original spare parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

￿The appliance is completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

it is turned off at the wall switch and unplugged, or

the circuit breaker has been "tripped".

￿Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety components or control elements of the appliance.

￿Only operate the rotary iron when all removable outer casings are fitted so that it is impossible to touch an electrical component or moving part.

￿This equipment has not been designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as aircraft or recreational vehicles. However, under certain circumstances it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele Dealer or Miele Technical Service with specific requirements.

Use

￿Be aware of loose fitting or hanging clothing when using the rotary iron. Items such as wide sleeves or apron strings could be wound in the roller.

￿Remove all jewelry and tie back long hair before ironing.

￿Never allow children to play on or near the rotary iron or to operate it themselves.

￿When the rotary iron is heated there is a danger of burns:

if the heater plate is touched.

if the foot pedal is pressed down while fingers or hands are positioned between the raised heater plate and the roller to smooth an item.

￿Never drape items over the heater plate when it is heated.

This is a fire hazard. Hang laundry on the swing out bar.
