Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.

Technical safety
Before setting up the steam ironing system, inspect it visually for
any external damage. Do not use a damaged appliance. 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 power cable to the outlet, make sure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) of the
steam ironing system match the local power supply.
If in doubt about your local power supply contact a qualified electri-
cian. If it is connected to a supply that deviates from the data plate,
this may lead to malfunctions or failure of the steam ironing system.
Always remove and unwind the power cord of the steam ironing
system completely from its (lower) storage compartment.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Miele Tech-
nical Service. For safety reasons this must only be fitted by a Miele
authorized service technician or the Miele service department.
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.

The electrical safety of this steam ironing system can only be
guaranteed if it is grounded properly. It is essential that this standard
safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have building's
wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system
(e.g. electric shock).
Do not use a power bar or an extension cord to connect the steam
ironing system to the power supply. These devices do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This steam ironing system complies with all relevant safety re-
quirements. Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers
for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should
only be performed by a Miele authorized service technician, other-
wise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety stan-
dards of the appliance.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high wattage appliance.
During repairs, installation and maintenance tasks, the steam iron-
ing system must be disconnected from the power supply. The steam
ironing system is only considered disconnected from the power sup-
ply if:
– the power plug of the steam ironing system is unplugged or
– the fuse is removed from the building wiring or
– the circuit breaker has been tripped.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control
elements of the steam ironing system.
