Service key switch One on both the left and right hand columns on the feed-in side and the output side. As soon as an emergency stop switch is pressed, the roller stops turning and lifts immediately. Only use the emergency stop switch or finger guard to stop the machine in the case of an emergency, and not for normal switching off. To reset an emergency stop switch after it has been used, turn the switch clockwise. During work on the rollers, the ironer or the compressed air system the roller is lifted into the repair position. See "Maintenance". 11
Preparing the laundry Condition of laundry For a good finish the ideal residual moisture level lies between 25-50 %, depending on the condition of the fabric. Rinsing the laundry using hot water in the final rinse helps to reduce the residual moisture level, and the residual heat in the laundry will help reduce processing time, saving energy. Preparing the flatwork Before starting to iron, laundry should be sorted according to size and type of fabric. First iron articles made from: perlon, nylon etc. temperature 100-110 C then iron woollens, silks temperature 111-150 C then iron cottons and linen fabric temperature 151-180 C. If you want to switch back to ironing at a lower temperature, reduce the temperature setting and then wait until the "Heating" indicator light comes on again. Starched laundry should be ironed last to prevent any starch residues on the heater plate from affecting other items of laundry. Items with buttons should be passed through the ironer with the buttons facing into the roller padding. If they face downwards there is a danger of them being damaged or torn off when the item is passed through the ironer. 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 ironer. Warning. Before using the ironer you should clean the heater plate by running a cloth through the entire width of the roller. 12
Operation Preparation for use Open site stopcock for compressed air. Open site stopcock for gas (gas heating only). Open site stopcock for steam (steam heating only) very slowly and only a little way. This is not necessary with Automatic heat-up.

Operation Laundry feed-in Feed-in Plus table with suction (optional) Feed-in belts make it easier to feed laundry into the ironer. Laundry should be placed parallel to the roller at the start of the feed-in table. Make sure it lies flat across the feed-in belts as it goes in. Do not restrict ironing of smaller articles to any one part of the roller. Make use of the whole roller width. Forward roller movement The forward roller movement (at the feed-in belts) tensions the laundry as it is drawn in. Standard value - 5%. Pressing the control field changes the forward roller movement. = Equal 1 5% 2 10 % 3 15 % Foot control bar (optional) The foot control bar can be used for smaller items of laundry or in the event of feed-in errors. The roller will stop. The roller starts again as soon as the foot control is released. The ironed laundry can be very hot when it comes off the ironer. Pick-off bands Using residual heat (not steam-heated machines) The heating can be switched off before ironing is finished to make use of residual heat in the heater plate. To maintain the same standard of laundry finish, the ironer speed is slowed down automatically. Time remaining until the ironer switches off automatically is shown in the display. Stop clock function (optional) By pressing the "Stop clock" field, the stop clock is started and the field turns green. If the stop clock is stopped by pressing the "Stop clock" field, the ironing process stopped or the programme changed, the stopped time is saved. Completed ironer times are shown on the 2nd display page ( button) with date, time and programme. The stop times can be deleted by pressing the reset field. After ironing: Allow the roller to run for approx. 5 minutes with the heating switched off to allow the padding to dry out. Switch the ironer off using the "Start/Stop" button For gas or steam-heated machines, close the on-site stopcock. Switch off at the main switch on the rear of the right-hand column. Allow the ironed laundry to cool down before packing or stacking it. Hot laundry could self-ignite and cause a fire. The pick-off bands are used for picking laundry off the roller. 15
Notes Protecting the padding Switch the machine off during pauses in ironing to prevent damage to the padding. It is very important to avoid running the ironer without passing laundry through it. Do not restrict ironing smaller articles to any one part of the roller; make use of the whole roller width. This way an equal amount of heat is obtained from the heater plate and the roller padding is protected from uneven use. Emergency release if there is a power cut whilst ironing The roller lifts automatically in the event of a power cut. Once power is restored, the ironer is switched back on by pressing the "Start/Stop" button. 16

Cleaning and care Cleaning and waxing the heater plate Regular cleaning and maintenance of the heater plate is essential for ensuring consistent ironing results, as well as for protecting the motor and the roller cover. It also helps to prolong the life of the machine. This machine is fitted with a steel heater plate. Deposits (starch and detergent residues) can build up on the heater plate. Feed-in direction Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or sandpaper. The steel heater plate must only be cleaned using cleaning agents approved by the manufacturer. Use the cleaning set. It consists of a cleaning cloth, a waxing cloth and wax. This set is available to order from Miele as an accessory. When the message Please clean and wax plate appears in the display (optional), select Waxing programme 8. The wax symbol will appear in the display. It will go out again when the waxing programme is finished. Clean the heater plate before waxing. If Please clean and wax plate does not appear in the display (optional): Clean the heater plate at the start of the working day and use the waxing cloth without wax. Clean and wax the heater plate according to laundry throughput. Select the waxing programme. (Temperature setting 180 C, low roller speed, high contact pressure.) Feed-in direction To wax, sprinkle wax into the pockets of the waxing cloth Use the wax sparingly to avoid the roller cover becoming too smooth. Fold over the top third of the cloth to close it. Feed the wax cloth through the hot ironer. Feed the cloth into the machine repeatedly, moving along the whole width of the roller from left to right. Leave the waxing programme. Feed in a damp cloth across the entire roller width using the universal programme to remove any wax and starch residues. Pick-off bands The tips of the pick-off bands need to be cleaned occasionally to remove any build-up of residues such as starch. Important: Feed in the steel wool cleaning strips face downwards, towards the heater plate. Feed the cloth into the machine repeatedly, moving along the whole width of the roller from left to right. The heater plate should always be waxed after it has been cleaned. Mark the position of the pick-off segment and dismantle the pick-off segment. Do not use the rotary ironer without the pick-off bands fitted. Danger of crushing. Relocate it to its original position after cleaning. 19
Maintenance Maintenance must be carried out only by Miele Service or other authorised suitably qualified and competent personnel. Open both service panels on the side columns. The roller is in the raised position. Disconnecting (securing) the roller During work on the roller, the ironer or the compressed air system the roller is lifted into the repair position leaving a space between the roller and the heater plate.

Maintenance Maintenance must be carried out only by Miele Service or other authorised suitably qualified and competent personnel. Removal and replacement of the roller plate cover should be undertaken only by Miele Service or other authorised, suitably qualified and competent personnel. Roller diameter PM 1621, PM 1625, PM 1630, PM 1635 PM 1825, PM 1830, PM 1835 Max. diameter (with cover) 600 mm Max. diameter (with cover) 800 mm Leaf-type roller padding Only iron articles up to max. 3 mm thick. Bulky fabrics, protruding buttons, curtain weights etc. could damage the leaf-type padding. After commissioning It is advisable approx. 40 operating hours after commissioning to cut back the overlap of the roller cover (which has occurred through stretching) to about 30 mm, and then to brush out about 15 mm of this using a wire brush. This will help to prevent damp streaks and pressure imprints. The roller padding must be the same thickness across the whole width of the roller, and fit firmly up to the heater plate. Discolouration of the roller cover Some discolouration of the roller cover from light to dark brown is normal. To minimise discolouration: Always use the complete width of the roller. Space out smaller items, and do not always iron them in the same place. Switch the machine off during pauses in ironing. 21
Maintenance Heating system Errors or faults in the heating system are shown in the display and must only be rectified by Miele Service or other authorised, suitably qualified and competent personnel. Gas heated machines The interior of the machine, the burner cavity and the burner should be checked regularly for any build-up of fluff and cleaned as required by a Miele service technician or suitably qualified and competent person. To ensure the correct performance of the machine and to prevent the risk of faults and fire risk it is important to check the machine and carry out maintenance on a regular basis. Wax trap The wax trap is located in the exhaust air ducting connection for vapour extraction. Condensate and wax flows back along a tube into a drip cup located underneath the left-hand column. Condensate Accumulated condensate from the oil reservoir on the left-hand column must be drained once a year. 1 To do this, open the drain valve (1) with an SW 11 spanner and collect the condensate. Filling connection (2) for oil. Heat transfer oil for the heater plate An analysis of the heat transfer oil must be carried out once a year. 2 Air filter Air filter on the fan for the control box at the back of the right-hand column. Check the tube (see arrow) regularly for blockages. Remove and check the drip cup. Dispose of any wax in an environmentally friendly way. Remove the grille sideways (see arrow) and clean the paper insert once a week with a vacuum cleaner. Bearing: Lubrication (applies for all bearings): at least once a year. 22
Maintenance Service In the event of any faults please contact the Miele Service Department. When contacting the Service Department, please quote the Model, Serial number (SN:) and Material number (M.Nr). See data plate for details. Only use spare Parts approved by the manufacturer. When ordering spare parts please quote the Model, Serial number (SN:) and Material number (M.Nr). 23
Notes for the installer The rotary ironer must be commissioned by a Miele authorised service technician. The machine must not be operated in the same room as dry cleaning machines which use solvents containing PERs or CFCs. Escaping vapours could ignite on the motor and form hydrochloric acid which can have dangerous consequences. Storing the machine The following conditions must be observed for transport and storage: Temperature: minimum -25 C to maximum 55 C Air humidity: minimum 5% tomaximum 75 %, non-condensing Maximum storage duration: 2 years Operating conditions Operating conditions as specified in EN 60204 generally apply. Temperature and relative air humidity Temperature: 5 C - 40 C Relative air humidity: 10% - 85% At an ambient temperature of 21 C (40 C) the maximum permissible relative air humidity is 70% (50%). Installing the machine This machine is classified as Class A. It can cause radio interference if set up in living areas. The machine is transported to the installation location in packaging. Remove all packaging prior to commissioning. 4 points for lifting gear such as straps and hooks are located near the top of the side columns. When setting the machine leave at least 600 mm space at either side of the machine so that the side panels are accessible. Leave a minimum of 1.5 m free space in front of and behind the machine to prevent surrounding materials (furnishings, walls) from becoming too hot. There should be a minimum space of 1 meter above the machine. Levelling and securing the ironer Use a spirit level and the adjustable feet to align the machine. Tighten the counter nuts on each foot up against the machine columns. Electrical connection Electrical connection may only be carried out by a suitably qualified technician in strict accordance with local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). When installing a residual current device (RCD), a type B (sutable for detecting high frequency AC and DC earth leakage current) must be installed. This ironer conforms to the requirements of EN 60204-1. The machine is supplied ex-works for 400 V~ 3N 50 Hz. See data plate for details. Connection should be made via a suitable isolator which complies with local and national safety regulations. For hard-wired machines, connection should be made via a suitable mains switch with all-pole isolation which when in the off position ensures a 3 mm gap between all open contacts. These include circuit breakers, fuses and relays (IEC/EN 60947). The socket connection or isolator switch should be easily accessible for disconnecting the machine from the electricity supply for service or maintenance work. If the machine is isolated from the electrical supply adequate measures must be taken to ensure that it cannot be reconnected to the electrical supply until all work has been carried out. The wiring diagram and connection box are located in the right hand side column. Mains connection is via the main switch which is located in the control box. Equipotential bonding The leakage current of this machine is more than 10 ma. Equipotential bonding should be carried out. Connection should be made in accordance with the wiring diagram, the installation diagram and the installation. It is important to follow all of these carefully to ensure the machine is connected correctly. 24
Notes for the installer After connecting the machine If the phase order of the electrical connection is incorrect the exhaust fan in the left-hand column turns in the wrong direction. Disconnect the machine from the mains and change two phases over. To prevent the build-up of condensation and wax the machine is fitted with a wax trap. The tube for disposal of wax and condensate is located in the left-hand column and must be checked regularly for blockages. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room where the ironer is installed. If the exhaust is ducted into the outside air, the end of the duct should be protected against the elements. An exhaust system ducted into the open air must be situated in such a way that it does not cause a nuisance. The on-site ducting system and the exit point to the outside must be checked on a regular basis for a build-up of fluff and cleaned, if required. Check the exhaust fan rotation. When looking at the motor, the exhaust fan should turn in an anti-clockwise direction. Exhaust air volume setting The exhaust air outlet is located in the left-hand column Exhaust ducting for vapour extraction Air throughput is greatest on the lowest screw setting (see diagram) and can be reduced by turning the screw to 90. The ideal setting is reached when the roller dries out sufficiently to leave no water spots either on the covering or on flatwork with the lowest throughput of air. If the air throughput is too high the roller will cool down too much, thus reducing the ironer's performance. Follow the fitting instructions supplied. The exhaust ducting must not be directed into any chimney or flue which is used by gas, solid fuel or oil fired appliances. It must also be kept separate from any exhaust system leading from a tumble dryer. The warm, moist exhaust air should be discharged to the outside air by the shortest route possible. To ensure optimum flow, the ducting should be laid with as few bends as possible and all connections and joins should be airtight. The connection point for the exhaust ducting is located on the top of the left hand column and has a diameter of 150 mm. 25
