Caring for the environment
4
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are
environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children.
Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain
specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct
function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for
electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal
data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Finger guard
The finger guard is a safety feature which must be checked daily for proper functioning
before the machine is used.
Risk of injury due to lack of finger guard function!
A malfunctioning finger guard function can lead to serious injury.
Shut down the flatwork ironer immediately.
Contact Miele without delay.
Ensure that the flatwork ironer is not put into operation by other persons and draw
attention to the potential hazard.
The ironer will only switch to normal operating mode if the finger guard has been pulled
up slightly after switching on the ironer. Otherwise, the ironer will switch off again after a
short period of time.
Pull the finger guard up slightly while the symbol is flashing.
If fingertips get between the roller and the finger guard, the roller is stopped immediately
and the heater plate is withdrawn. At the same time, the  symbol will light up constantly.
The ironer can be switched on again by pressing the  sensor.

Guide to the appliance
13
While the ironer is operating, do not use the finger guard intentionally to interrupt the
ironing process.
Always interrupt the ironing process by pressing the sensor.
Swing out bar
(for PRI214 as an optional accessory)
Ironed laundry can be placed over the swing out bar to prevent creasing.
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 ironer 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 the wrong way round.
There is a danger of burning if the flexible laundry feed is operated the wrong way round
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 be operated from the front of the ironer.

Using for the first time
14
Cleaning and waxing the heater plate before first use
It is essential to clean and wax the heater plate before it is used for the first time (see
“Cleaning and care - Starting the waxing programme”).
Clean the heater plate by passing the cleaning cloth offset through the ironer across the
entire width of the roller multiple times.
Then wax the heater plate with an ironer waxing cloth and ironer wax. Use the ironing
wax sparingly to avoid the ironing cloth becoming too smooth.

Operation
15
Preparing the laundry
Residual moisture For a good result and optimum ironing performance, the laundry
should have the following residual moisture levels, depending on
model:
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
laundry
Before starting, sort the laundry according to type and fabric. Take
note of the advice on the care labels. We recommend sorting the
laundry as follows:
Material Symbol Temperature
Nylon, other synthetics 100–110°C
then
Woollens, silks  111–150°C
followed by
Cottons, linens  151–185°C
The ironer must not be used for laundry containing more than 50%
synthetic fibres (e.g. Dralon).
The high temperature of the ironer will cause the fabric to melt.
Laundry containing less than 50% synthetic fibres can be ironed at
low temperature (•range).
Starched laundry should 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
Switch on the on-site mains switch for the power supply.
Press the  sensor to switch on the flatwork ironer.
The red  symbol will flash in the display.
Now gently press the underside of the finger guard.
The ironer switches to the normal operating mode.
The ironer is only ready for use if the finger guard has been actuated
properly. Otherwise, the ironer will switch off again after a short
period of time.
The red  symbol will appear in the display and the flatwork ironer
will heat up.

Operation
16
Danger of burning on the hot edge of the heater plate.
Danger of burning on the edge of the hot heater plate! There is a
warning sticker on the heater plate housing to warn of the danger
of burning.
Avoid touching the edges of the heater plate.
Wait until the selected temperature has been reached.
The  sensor begins to flash as soon as the minimum temperature
has been reached.
The flatwork ironer is ready for operation when the set temperature
is reached and the  symbol no longer appears in the display.
Now press the flashing  sensor to start up the flatwork ironer.
The ironer is now ready for use.

Feeding in laundry Risk of damage as a result of incorrect laundry infeed.
If laundry items with buttons are incorrectly fed into the ironer, they
may be damaged or torn off when the item is passed into the
heater plate.
Laundry with buttons must be inserted into the ironer so that the
buttons are facing the roller and can be pressed into the roller’s
ironing cloth during ironing.
A cloth should be placed over zips, metal buttons and hooks to
protect the heater plate during ironing.
Metal and plastic buckles and very bulky buttons should not be
passed through the flatwork ironer.
Press the  sensor to start the ironing process.
The heater plate engages and the roller starts to turn.
Align the laundry item parallel to the roller on the laundry infeed ta-
ble.
Smooth the item.

Operation
19
Feed the item evenly into the machine.
Do not restrict ironing of smaller articles to any one part of the
roller.
Otherwise heat is transferred on one side only, and the roller cover
is worn down unevenly. If the laundry infeed continues to be on one
side only, this will be indicated by a buzzer and the red symbol
or symbol appearing in the display.
Make use of the whole roller width and distribute smaller items
evenly on the infeed 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
ironer.
Risk of burning due to hot edges of the heater plate outfeed.
While the ironer is in use, the heater plate becomes very hot. Ironed
laundry may also be very hot when it emerges from the heater
plate.
Always take care when removing ironed laundry from the
appliance.
Do not touch the edges of the heater plate outfeed.
If a picker spring is loosened from its position, the ironer must be
switched off. The picker spring then needs to be moved by hand to
the original position of the laundry picker band.
Risk of fire due to laundry self-ignition.
Hot laundry could self-ignite and cause a fire.
Allow the ironed laundry to cool down before packing or stacking it.
Pausing ironing Press the sensor to interrupt the ironing process and switch the
appliance to Pause mode.
In Pause mode, the roller stops and the heater plate disengages. The
heater of the ironer will initially remain switched on. During Pause
mode, the ironer remains ready for use.
Press the  sensor to start ironing again.
Standby mode After an adjustable period of non-use, the ironer can switch to
standby mode. In standby mode, the roller comes to a standstill and
the heater plate is disengaged. During this process, the ironer heater
is switched off as well.
The ironer can be switched on again by pressing the  sensor.
Standby mode is deactivated by default. Standby mode can be
activated at service level by the Miele Professional Service
Department. The time at which the ironer will switch to standby
mode can be adjusted to a value between 1 and 30minutes of non-
use.

Operation
20
FlexControl foot
switch

avoid input mistakes.
Stopping the roller During ironing, press down the FlexControl foot switch with your
foot.
The roller will stop. The heater plate remains engaged.
Remove your foot from the foot switch to continue ironing.
When the foot switch is released, the roller starts to turn again
automatically. The ironing process can continue.
The foot switch can also be configured by Miele Professional
Service so that operating the foot switch ends Pause mode,
engages the heater plate and makes the roller start turning.
Stopping ironing
After ironing, let the roller run for approx. 10 minutes on the
minimum temperature to let the roller covering dry out.
Switch the flatwork ironer off by pressing the  sensor.
The heater plate disengages and the fan runs for up to 10minutes to
