Warning and safety instructions
Read the operating instructions before
using this machine for the first time. This
way you will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine.
Only iron materials with this ironer which
are suitable for machine ironing and
which were washed in water.
This machine must not be operated in the
same room as dry cleaning machines
which use solvents containing PERs or CFCs.
The ironer should only be used in a room
with a low relative humidity level.
Any removable outer panels must be back
in place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is switched on.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features, fixtures and control ele-
ments of the machine.
Do not use a machine with damaged con-
trols or with damaged cables. These must
be repaired before it is used again.
Repairs to the machine should only be
undertaken by a suitably qualified trained
service engineer to ensure safety. Unauthori-
sed repairs could be dangerous.
Faulty components must only be exchan-
ged for Miele original spare parts. Only
when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the machine be guaranteed.
The electrical safety of this appliance can
only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between the appliance and an ef-
fective earthing system which complies with
local and national regulations. It is most impor-
tant that this basic safety requirement is regu-
larly tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer can not be held respon-
sible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when it is
switched off at the wall isolator or when the
mains fuse is withdrawn from the distribution
board.
Never allow children to play on or near
the rotary ironer, or to operate it them-
selves.
When the ironer is heated up with the
heater plate in position, there is an acute
danger of burning, if the edge of the heater
plate is touched on the feed-out side.
When ironing double layered items do not
reach in between the layers to straighten
out the fabric. This is extremely dangerous as
you may not be able to extract your hands on
time. The same applies when ironing gar-
ments with pockets.
Ironers with belt-feed in:
Warning! Do not iron articles with
fringes/tassles, thin straps, ties etc. They
could cause the belt feed-in mechanism to fail
Always keep a fire extinguisher accessi-
ble in the rare event of textiles igniting.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If other
parts are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be invalidated.

safety regulations concerning the use of
this machine are observed.
5 M.-Nr. 05372840

Gas safety Caring for the environment
Safety precautions to take if you smell gas
(gas-heated ironers only).
(Natural gas usually has no smell of its own.
In the U.K. a smell is added by British Gas for
safety reasons).
If you smell gas you must act immediately.
Extinguish any flames.
Do not create any electrical sparks: e.g. do
not insert or withdraw any electrical plugs
or operate electrical switches such as
lights and door bells.
Do not enter a room with an open light
where there is the smell of gas.
Do not light cigarette lighters or matches.
Do not smoke.
Open all windows and doors.
Close any shut off valves at the gas con-
nection or mains supply immediately.
Shut off the gas-valve next to the machine.
If all gas valves are closed but there is still
the smell of gas in the room you should call
your local gas supplier immediately.
Important: Before signing off any commis-
sioning, maintenance, conversion or repair
work as finished, all gas pipework from the
manual isolating valve to the burner nozzles
must be checked for gas soundness.
Pay special attention to the test points on the
multifunction control, the connection pressure
monitor and the burner setting pressure.
The tests must be carried out with the burner
switched on and switched off.
All personnel working with this machine must
be fully trained in all aspects of its use and
safety.
Keep these instructions in a safe and
accessible place.
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has
been selected from materials which are envi-
ronmentally friendly for disposal and can
normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials
away, please ensure they are offered for
recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Old machines may contain material which can
be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your
dealer, your local waste collection centre or
scrap merchant about potential recycling
schemes.
Ensure that the machine presents no danger
to children while being stored for disposal.

Temperature selector
● = low temperature
●● = medium temperature
●●●= high temperature
Speed selector
The roller speed is increased by turning the
speed selector clockwise and reduced by
turning it anti-clockwise.
Throttle valve - vapour exhaust
(only with electric heated rotary ironers)
A throttle valve has been installed in the va-
pour exhaust, whereby the air volume flowing
through the roller covering can be reduced.
The air volume is highest at the initial position
of the adjusting screw (see drawing), and can
be reduced by turning it through 90°.
The ideal throttle setting is when the roller
dries adequately with the lowest air flow vol-
ume, and no water spots appear on the roller
covering or on the items being ironed.
If the air throughput at the vapour exhaust is
too high, the roller will cool down too quickly,
resulting in a less efficient ironing process.

(at the front of the left hand column and at the
rear of the right hand column)
Immediately the emergency stop switch is
pushed in the roller stops and the heater plate
is withdrawn downwards.
To reset the emergency stop switch after it
has been used, turn the ribbed disc clockwise.
Finger guard
If the fingers slip between the laundry feed in
table and the finger guard the roller will stop
immediately and the heater plate is withdrawn
downwards. The finger guard does not work if
the roller is running in reverse.
If the finger guard has been activated, the ma-
chine can only be restarted by pushing in
button "I".
The finger guard is a safety feature which
must be checked daily for proper fun-
ctioning before the machine is used.
Hand wheel (at the rear of the right hand
column)
The hand wheel is used to release the heater
plate from the stationary roller in the event of
a power cut. Turn the handwheel anti-clock-
wise to lower the heater plate from the roller
and clockwise to raise it to the roller.
The machine must be disconnected from
the mains supply. (Switch off at the isola-
tor or mains fuse box).
M.-Nr. 05372840 10

Operation
Condition of linen
For a good finish the ideal residual moisture
level lies between 25% - 40%.
If the laundry is rinsed with hot water in the
final rinse, the residual heat in the laundry,
together with the reduced residual moisture
content, will lead to shorter processing times
and save energy.
Laundry with a synthetic fibre content
greater than 50% (e.g. Dralon) must not be
ironed as the high temperatures would
melt the fibres.
Laundry with a lower synthetic content can
be ironed at a low temperature.
Preparing the flatwork
Before starting to iron laundry should be
sorted according to size and type of fabric.
First iron articles made from:
perlon, nylon etc.
(● - low temperature)
then iron:
woollens and silks
(●● - medium temperature)
then iron:
cottons and linen fabrics
(●●● - high temperature)
To switch back to ironing at a lower tempera-
ture reduce the temperature setting and then
wait for it to cool down sufficiently, i.e. when
the temperature indicator light "°C" comes on
again.
Starched laundry should be ironed last to pre-
vent any starch residues on the heater plate
from affecting other items of laundry.
Items with buttons should be passed through
the ironer with the buttons facing into the rol-
ler padding. If they face upwards there is a
danger of them being damaged or torn off
when the item is passed through the ironer.
A cloth should be placed over zips, metal but-
tons and hooks to protect the heater plate
during ironing.
Metal and plastic buckles and very bulky
buttons should not be passed through the
ironer.
Note!
Clean the flatwork ironer before using for
the first time by passing through a cloth
along the entire length of the trough.
Check the function of the Finger Guard
The finger guard is a safety feature which
must be checked daily for proper function-
ing before the machine is used.
If fingers slip between the laundry feed in
table and the finger guard the roller must stop
immediately and the heater plate withdraw
from the roller.
The finger guard does not work if the roller is
running in reverse.
If the finger guard has been activated, the
machine can only be restarted by pushing
in button "I".

Check the function of the Finger Guard
M.-Nr. 05372840 12

Operation
Start ironing by feeding laundry pieces in
by the feed-in table.
Smooth items from the middle outwards to-
wards the edges.
Do not restrict ironing of smaller articles to
any one part of the roller. Make use of the
whole roller width.
Press the foot control bar down for pres-
sing.
The roller does not rotate during pressing.
Pressing is stopped by raising your foot off
the foot control bar.
Freshly ironed laundry can be very hot
when it comes off the ironer. Wear gloves
to protect your hands.
In pauses between ironing, withdraw the
heater plate and reduce the temperature.
Pick-off attachment
The pick-off attachment is used for picking
laundry off the roller. Laundry no longer
needs to be removed manually from the roller.
If one of the pick-off spring lifters is dislocated
by a piece of laundry it should be manually
pushed back into position.
After ironing
After ironing use the residual heat on the hea-
ter plate to iron out the remaining moisture in
the roller covering (approx. 5 mins).
Press the "O" button to switch the machine
off.
Close the gas stopcock (on site).
Switch the machine off at the mains
isolator.
Allow freshly ironed laundry to cool down
before packing it or stacking it to prevent
the risk of very hot laundry igniting and
causing a fire.
13 M.-Nr. 05372840

Safety features
Motor protection
If the winding is heated excessively due to
overload the motor is switched off automati-
cally by a winding thermostat. The heater
plate is lowered. Switch the ironer on again
only after it has had time to cool down by
pressing button "I".
Avoid unnecessarily running the ironer
without passing laundry through it.
Do not restrict ironing of smaller articles to
any one part of the roller. Make use of the
whole roller width.
This way an equal amount of heat is obtained
from the heater plate and energy is saved.
The roller is also protected from uneven use.
Safety feature for insufficient air supply*
When there is insufficent air supply to the
machine the heating is automatically switched
off, and the "Ignition fault" indicator light
comes on.
It is only possible to iron cold after a few
minutes.
Check whether the exhaust system is clear.
If there is nothing wrong with the exhaust sy-
stem call the Service department.
Safety feature for insufficient gas supply*
When the gas stopcock is turned off or the
gas supply pressure is low, the rotary iron can
not be switched on. If the gas supply pressure
is reduced during operation, the machine swit-
ches off automatically and the heater plate is
withdrawn.
When the gas supply pressure has been re-
established, the machine can be switched on
again by pressing the "I" button.
If this fault recurs the on-site gas supply
system must be checked by an accredited
gas engineer, (Corgi registered in the UK).
*) only with gas heated rotary ironers
Emergency release during a power cut
There is a handwheel at the rear of the right
hand column which can be operated manually
to release the roller from the hot heater plate
in the event of a power cut. Isolate the ma-
chine from the electricity supply. Turn the
handwheel anti-clockwise to lower the heater
plate from the roller. During normal operation
the wheel turns as the heater plate is brought
into position or withdrawn.
M.-Nr. 05372840 14

ariations in equipment
Laundry return feed
Laundry return feed enables ironed laundry to
be taken off the machine at the feed-in. No
extra personnel are required for taking
laundry off the machine. For this mode of
operation only the ironer can be positioned
close to a wall, (allow space for servicing).
The laundry return feed directs laundry back
to the front of the machine on to an ironing
shelf located above the finger guard.
If laundry is to be fed to the ironing table at
the rear allow adequate space for installation.
Fold the laundry guide back on to the laundry
table before starting.
Then position the laundry return feed to direct
laundry to the rear. Laundry is guided to the
ironer table.
If the ironing cloth cover is to be changed or
the roller needs more padding the lifter
springs need to be individually taken off the
pick-off strip.
Belt feed-in
This makes feeding in of laundry easier.
Items of laundry are placed parallel to the rol-
ler at the front of the feed-in table on the belt,
smoothed out and fed into the roller.
15 M.-Nr. 05372840

Cleaning and care
Waxing the heater plate
To maintain the smooth surface of the heater
plate it should be waxed on a regular basis
with an ironer waxing cloth.
Sprinkle the special wax into the centre of a
thin piece of cloth.
Fold over the ends, then run through the
ironer as if it were a piece of washing. Keep
the folded ends of the cloth towards the roller.
Feed the cloth into the machine repeatedly,
moving along the whole width of the roller
from left to right.
For waxing or cleaning the heater plate select
the ● ● ● temperature setting and the slowest
roller speed.
A special cloth for cleaning and special wax
can also be ordered from the Miele Spare
Parts Department.
Aluminium heater plate
Limescale deposits and starch residues can
be removed from the heater plate using a sui-
table proprietary cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cleaning
cloths.
Pick-off attachment
If you want to clean the lifter springs or the rol-
ler covering, re-cover the roller or to iron for a
short period without using the pick-off
attachment, this attachment can be raised
upright.
The tips of the pick-off lifter springs need to
be cleaned occasionally to remove the build-
up of residues such as starch. Regular clea-
ning ensures smooth operation.
Ball bearings and gear box
Ball bearings and gear box are greased for
many years of use.
The machine must be switched off for lubrica-
tion.
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before lubricating.
There is a danger of burning when removable
outer panels are not in place.
After maintenance work any removable outer
panels must be back in place, and all moving
or electrical parts shielded before the
machine is switched on.

M.-Nr. 05372840 16

Cleaning and care
Removing the ironing cloth roller cover
Before removing the ironing cover (for clea-
ning or renewal) let the heater plate cool
down.
The end of the ironing cover must be visible
at the top of the roller.
Switch the machine off at the mains and raise
the pick-off attachment.
Loosen the side ties and lay the end of the
ironing cover over the feed in table or to the
back of the ironer.
Press the "Reverse run" Ö button and care-
fully remove the ironing cover.
Roller padding (steel wool)
Renewal or rewinding of the steel wool roller
padding should only be carried out by a Miele
authorised service engineer.
To avoid the danger of injury protective
gloves should be worn whilst renewing the
roller padding.
The following steel wool covering dimensions
should be maintained:
HM 29-175 max. 928 mm circumference
(without cloth)
Remove any particles of steel wool that may
have fallen on the heater plate.
Replacing the ironing cloth roller cover
Do not wash the new cloth roller cover
before use.
Heat the roller up and in the pressed on positi-
on lay the new cloth on to the roller following
the direction of the arrow on the steel wool
covering. The front edge of the cloth should
be brushed out with a steel brush and fed in.
Let the roller run for approx. 5-10 mins, then
trim off any overlapping strands and comb
them out as done at the front edge of the
cloth.
HM 29-175 max. 948 mm circumference
(with cloth)
Washing an ironing cloth
Ironing cloths which have slight discolouration
should, if possible, not be washed (yellowing
is normal). Heavily soiled cloths should be
washed in a Cottons 95 °C programme, spun
and put back on while still damp.
17 M.-Nr. 05372840

Cleaning and care
Leaf-type roller padding
To ensure smooth functioning of the ironer
and high capacity ironing, low servicing and
long life the laminated leaf-type padding
should have the specially made ironer roller
cloth cover fitted.
Note: Only iron articles up to max. 3 mm
thick. Thick knobbly fabrics, high buttons,
curtain weights etc. could damage the leaf-
type padding.
After commissioning
It is advisable approx. 40 operating hours
after commissioning to cut back the overlap of
the ironing cover which has occured through
stretching to about 20 mm overlap and then
to brush out about 15 mm of this using a wire
brush. This is to avoid damp streaks and
shadowing. The roller covering must be the
same thickness along the whole length of the
roller and fit firmly up to the heater plate.
Washing the ironing roller cloth cover
Washing will restore the ironing cover to a sof-
ter and more elastic condition, which
absorbs moisture better, and clear the wax
deposits. It should, however, be washed as
infrequently as possible in a Cottons 95 °C
programme. The cover should be completely
alkali free after the last rinse. Do not treat with
solvent or spin too strongly, to avoid the dan-
ger of creasing.
Removing the ironing cover on rollers with
leaf-type padding
If a new ironing cover is being fitted it
should first be washed in a Cottons 95 °C
programme.
Switch the machine off, the heater plate
withdraws.
When removing and replacing the ironing
cloth cover the hand wheel should be
turned in an anti-clockwise direction as far
as it will go, so that the heater plate drops
right down and cannot rise up again.
Raise the laundry pick-off attachment.
Remove the cloth cover as shown in
phases 2 to 4.
When removing pull slowly and carefully
away from the grippers on the leaf-type
padding.

Fitting the ironing cloth cover on a roller
with leaf-type padding
The ironing cover should be wound back on
when still damp.
A double layer is wound on to the roller in one
operation. Do not tuck in the cloth at the ends
of the roller.
Place the cloth in position. Ensure that the
hand wheel is turned as far as it will go in
an anti-clockwise direction, so that the
heater plate is lowered and cannot rise up
again. Switch the machine on and feed it in
following the laundry feed direction using a
low roller speed setting until it lies smooth
and flat. This is to ensure that the heater
plate does not get damaged by the grip-
pers on the leaf-type padding.
Switch the machine off and turn the hand
wheel in a clockwise direction about 4
times to raise the heater plate.
Switch the machine on and the heater
plate will raise up completely. Let the roller
rotate slowly. The ironing cloth cover must
have no creases in it. Let the roller rotate
for about 5 minutes.
Discoloration of the ironer cloth
Some discoloration of the ironer cloth from
light to dark brown is normal.
To avoid the cloth turning black:
- always use the complete width of the roller.
- space out smaller items and do not always
place them in the same place.
- in pauses between ironing, withdraw the
heater plate or trough and reduce the
temperature.
