Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

The appliance will not
fold away.

The ironing table is
not in its lowest
working position.

Adjust the ironing table to its
lowest working position (see
"Storage")

The residual water
container is not
correctly inserted
and clicked into
place.

Insert the residual water
container fully into the tower until
it clicks into place.

Then adjust the ironing table to

its lowest working position (see
"Storage")

The ironing table will
not click into place
during assembly or
dismantling for
storage.

The ironing table is
displaced because
the tower was not in
the lowest position.

Press and hold the release
button on the tower and at the
same time turn the rotary height
adjustment dial as far as it will
go towards

q

and hold it steady.

Push the tower into its lowest
working position and then let go
of the rotary dial and then the
release button.

Now the ironing table can either
be folded away or brought into
the working position.

If the ironing table still will not
click into place, contact Miele.
