Regular cleaning and maintenance of the
heater plate is essential for the durability
of the motor and roller pad and cover.
Waxing the heater plate
The heater plate should be
waxed daily
be-
fore use with a cleaning cloth for optimum
performance.
Original cleaning cloths and ironing wax can
be obtained from Miele.
^
For cleaning and waxing the heater plate,
set the roller speed to the lowest and the
temperature to
ßßß
.
^
Sprinkle the ironing wax on the middle part
of a cleaning cloth (Miele accessory).
Only use a small quantity of wax.
Do not get wax on the roller, it will melt
and damage the roller cover.
^
Wrap the two ends over and feed the cloth
into the rotary iron like a laundry item with
the long side (arrow) first.
^
Starting from left to right, the cloth is fed
into the iron until the entire roller length is
covered.
Cleaning the heater plate
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents,
scrubbing sponges or sand paper.
^
Lime and starch deposits can build up on
the heater plate. Clean the heater plate
1-3 times per week
with an oil cloth and
cleanpaste.
^
For stubborn deposits use a cleaning cloth
along with the cleaning mat.
^
The heater plate must be waxed after each
cleaning.
See "Miele Ironing Handbook" for further in-
formation.
