the ironing process.
Always interrupt the ironing process by pressing the button.
Swing out bar
(for PRI214 as an optional accessory)
Ironed laundry can be placed over the hinged laundry rod to avoid wrinkling.
Flexible laundry feed for outfeed laundry removal
(for PRI217 as an optional accessory)
The flexible laundry feed mechanism enables the ironed laundry to be fed through to the
back of the rotary iron for removal. The laundry return feed is particularly suitable for large
items of laundry like sheets/duvet covers or table cloths.
Risk of burns caused by using the flexible laundry feed backwards.
There is a danger of burning if the flexible laundry feed is operated backwards and you
touch the hot edge of the heater plate.
Do not touch the heater plate as this will be hot.
The flexible laundry feed mechanism must only only be operated from the front of the ro-
tary iron.

Before using for the first time
14
Cleaning and waxing before starting up for the first time
It is essential to clean and wax the heater plate before it is used for the first time (see
“Cleaning the heater plate” and “Waxing the heater plate” in “Cleaning and care”).
Clean the heater plate by passing the cleaning cloth offset through the rotary iron across
the entire width of the roller multiple times.
After cleaning the heater plate, wax it using the waxing cloth and suitable ironing wax.
Use the ironing wax sparingly to avoid the ironing cloth becoming too smooth.

Use
15
Preparing the laundry
Residual moisture For an excellent finish and optimum ironing performance, the laundry
that is to be ironed should have the following levels of residual mois-
ture, depending on the type of ironing being carried out:
PRI214/217: 15–25% residual moisture
PRI210: 15% residual moisture
The ideal residual moisture level depends on the composition of the
fabric.
Sorting the laun-
dry
Sort the laundry according to type and fabric before starting to iron.
At the same time, please observe the instructions on the laundry
item’s care label. We recommend sorting the laundry in the following
order:
Type of material Symbol Temperature
Nylon, other synthetics 212-230°F (100–110°C)
then
Woolens, silk  231-302°F (111–150°C)
followed by
Cotton, linen  303-365°F (151–185°C)
The rotary iron must not be used for laundry containing more than
50% synthetic fibres (e.g., Dralon).
The high temperature of the rotary iron will cause the fabric to melt.
Laundry containing less than 50% synthetic fibers can be ironed at
low temperature (•range).
Starched laundry should always be ironed last.
Otherwise, any remaining starch residue on the heater plate may
have a negative effect when ironing other laundry items.
Preparing for use
Turn on the on-site power switch for the power supply.
Press the button to switch on the rotary iron.
The red display symbol flashes.
Now gently press the underside of the finger guard.

The rotary iron is only ready to use if the finger guard has been acti-
vated properly. Otherwise, the rotary iron will switch off again after a
short period of time.
The red symbol will appear in the display and the heater plate will
heat up.

Use
16
Danger of burning on the hot edge of the heater plate.
When the rotary iron has heated up, there is a danger of burns on
the edge of the heater plate. Warning labels on the outer casing of
the heater plate indicate the danger of burns.
Avoiding touching the edges of the heater plate.
Wait until the selected temperature has been reached.
The button begins to flash as soon as the minimum temperature
has been reached.
The rotary iron is ready for operation when the set temperature is
reached and the symbol no longer appears in the display.
Now press the flashing button to start up the iron.

ironing to protect the heater plate.
Never iron metal or plastic clasps of any kind, or raised buttons.
Press the button to start the ironing process.
The heater plate engages and the roller begins to rotate.
Align the laundry item parallel to the roller on the laundry infeed ta-
ble.
Smooth the item.
Feed the item evenly into the rotary iron for ironing.

Use
19
Do not feed small items into the iron on only one side.
If laundry is fed in on just one side, the heat will only be used on
one side and the load only exerted on the roller padding on one
side. If in-feed of laundry continues to be on one side only, this will
be indicated by an audible signal sounding and the red symbol
or symbol appearing in the display.
Use the entire roller width wherever possible and distribute small
items evenly on the laundry in-feed table.
Removal of ironed
laundry
The picker springs on the laundry picker band separate the ironed
laundry from the roller. The laundry can then be removed from the ro-
tary iron.
Risk of burning due to hot edges of the heater plate outfeed.
While the rotary iron is in use, the heater plate gets very hot. Ironed
laundry can be very hot when it comes out of the heater plate.
Always take care when removing ironed laundry.
Do not touch the edges of the heater plate outfeed.
If a picker spring comes loose from its position, the rotary iron must
be switched off. The picker spring then needs to be moved back to
the original position of the laundry picker band by hand.
Risk of fire due to laundry self-combustion.
Hot laundry can lead to a fire as a result of self-combustion.
It is important that you let ironed laundry cool down sufficiently be-
fore packing or stacking it.
Pausing ironing Press the button to interrupt the ironing process and switch the
rotary iron to pause mode.
In Pause mode, the roller stops and the heater plate disengages. The
rotary iron’s heater will initially remain switched on. During pause
mode, the rotary iron remains ready for use.
Press the button to start ironing again.
Standby mode After an adjustable period of non-use, the rotary iron can switch to
standby mode. In Standby mode, the roller comes to a standstill and
the heater plate is disengaged. During this process, the rotary iron’s
heater is switched off as well.
Press the button to switch the rotary iron back on.
Standby mode is deactivated by default. Standby mode can be acti-
vated at service level by MieleTechnical Service. The time at which
the rotary iron will switch to standby mode can be adjusted to a
value between 1 and 30minutes of non-use.

Alternatively, the footswitch can be adjusted by MieleTechnical Ser-
vice in such a way that the heater plate exits Pause mode and the
roller begins to rotate when the footswitch is activated (domestic
setting).
Stopping ironing
After ironing, let the roller run for about 10minutes at the minimum
heating temperature and without feeding in any laundry to dry out
the padding completely.
Switch off the rotary iron by pressing the button.
The heater plate disengages and the fan runs for up to 10minutes to
cool down the rotary iron. The button flashes during this process.
Switch off the on-site power switch.
Ironing with a coin-operated payment system
Press the button to switch on the rotary iron.
The display symbol flashes.
Insert the coin or token into the coin-operated payment system.
