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.

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 ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
This steam ironing system is designed for domestic use and for
use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
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 to be used 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.
This steam ironing system is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
This steam ironing system is not suitable for outdoor use.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
Safety with children
Young children must be kept away from the steam ironing system.
Older children may only use the steam ironing system when its
operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to
use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam ironing
system and do not let them play with it.
Make sure that young children 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.
Risk of suffocation!
Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull
it over their heads with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away
from any packing material.
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 mains
electricity supply, make sure that the connection data on the data
plate (voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply.
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 mains connection cable of the
steam ironing system completely from its (lower) storage
compartment.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special cable of the same type (available from Miele). For
safety reasons, this must only be fitted by a Miele service technician.
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
9
The electrical safety of this steam ironing system can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system which complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected 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 must only be undertaken by a Miele authorised
service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be
covered by the warranty.
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 switched off at the
wall socket and unplugged, or
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
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 operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
