Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Miele dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
6
This steam ironing system complies with current safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the steam ironing
system, please read these instructions carefully before using it for
the first time. They contain important information on its safety,
installation, use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
The steam ironing system is intended for use in domestic
households and similar residential environments.
The steam ironing system must only be used for ironing textiles
which are suitable for ironing according to the care label.
The steam ironing system is intended for domestic use only, as
described in these operating instructions.
Any other use is not permitted. Miele cannot be held liable for
damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
Persons who are unable to safely operate the steam ironing
system because of reduced physical, sensory or mental ability or
because of lack of experience or knowledge, must not use the steam
ironing system without the supervision of a responsible person.
The steam ironing system is not intended for outdoor use.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
Safety with children
Children under the age of eight must be kept away from the steam
ironing system unless they are supervised.
Children older than eight may only use the steam ironing system
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way,
and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect
operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the steam
ironing system unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam ironing
system, and do not let them play with it.
Make sure that children under the age of eight cannot access the
steam hose or the power cable, either during use or while the steam
ironing system is cooling down.
Miele recommends that only children over the age of 14 are
allowed to operate the steam ironing system unsupervised.
Danger of suffocation.
Packaging, (e.g. plastic wrapping), must be kept out of the reach of
babies and children. Whilst playing, they could become entangled in
the packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
Before setting up the steam ironing system, inspect it visually for
any external damage. Never use a damaged steam ironing system. A
damaged steam ironing system can be dangerous!
Check the iron of the steam ironing system for damage. Do not
use the iron if it has been dropped, if there is any visible damage or if
it is leaking.
Before connecting the steam ironing system to the power supply,
please ensure that the mains supply voltage (voltage and frequency)
complies with the values given on the data plate.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage to the steam
ironing system. If in doubt, contact a suitably qualified electrician.
Always remove and unwind the power cable of the steam ironing
system completely from its (lower) storage compartment.
If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a
special cable of the same type (available from your Miele dealer). For
safety reasons this must only be fitted by a Miele authorised service
technician or your Miele dealer.
Do not use the steam ironing system if the ironing board cover is
damaged.
A damaged ironing board cover could be dangerous.
Do not use the steam ironing system without an ironing board
cover.
The ironing board cover must be replaced with an original Miele
cover.
Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this steam ironing system can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard
safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the wiring
system of the building tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot
be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing
system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the steam ironing system to the mains electricity
supply via a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
This steam ironing system complies with all relevant safety
requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen
dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept
liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised
service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele
guarantee the safety standards of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
The steam ironing system must be isolated from the electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. The steam
ironing system is only considered disconnected from the power
supply if:
– the power plug of the steam ironing system is unplugged, or
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
– the mains screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control
elements of the steam ironing system.
Only operate the steam ironing system when all removable outer
panels are in place so that it is impossible to touch an electrical
component or moving part.
The steam ironing system must not be used in a non-stationary
location (e.g. on a ship).
