Heater plate maintenance
Regular heater plate maintenance is essential for protecting the roller drive and the pad-
ding. Refer to the instructions in the Miele Ironing Handbook. Always wax the heater plate
after cleaning. Failure to exercise due care and attention can result in a significant reduc-
tion in the service life of the machine.
The heater plate for this rotary iron is made of aluminum.
Coarse-grained scouring agents or abrasive cleaning cloths must not be used for clean-
ing aluminum heater plates.
For optimum results, we recommend using the Miele cleaning set. The cleaning set con-
tains a cleaning cloth, a waxing cloth, and ironing wax. This set is available as an op-
tional accessory.
Residue (such as starch and detergent) can be left behind in the heater plate. For this rea-
son, clean the heater plate as appropriate for the degree of soiling before starting work.
When the red display symbol lights up, this signals that the heater plate requires
cleaning and waxing in cleaning mode.
Starting the cleaning program
Press and hold the button for more than 3 seconds.
The rotary iron is now in the cleaning program. 176°F (80°C) is shown in the display.
If the current ironing temperature is above 176°F (80°C), the symbol is displayed and
the rotary iron is cooled down.
The cleaning process can be started when the button is flashing.
Press the flashing button to start the rotary iron in the cleaning program.
The rotary iron can then be cleaned using the cleaning cloth.
