Cleaning and care
Waxing the heater plate
To maintain the smooth surface of the heater
plate it should be waxed on a regular basis
with an ironer waxing cloth.
Wax
Sprinkle the special wax into the centre of a
thin piece of cloth.
Direction of feed
Fold over the ends, then run through the
ironer as if it were a piece of washing. Keep
the folded ends of the cloth towards the roller.
Feed the cloth into the machine repeatedly,
moving along the whole width of the roller
from left to right.
For waxing or cleaning the heater plate select
the
temperature setting and the slowest
roller speed.
A special cloth for cleaning and special wax
can also be ordered from the Miele Spare
Parts Department.

Aluminium heater plate
Limescale deposits and starch residues can
be removed from the heater plate using a sui-
table proprietary cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cleaning
cloths.
Pick-off attachment
If you want to clean the lifter springs or the rol-
ler covering, re-cover the roller or to iron for a
short period without using the pick-off
attachment, this attachment can be raised
upright.
The tips of the pick-off lifter springs need to
be cleaned occasionally to remove the build-
up of residues such as starch. Regular clea-
ning ensures smooth operation.
Ball bearings and gear box
Ball bearings and gear box are greased for
many years of use.
The machine must be switched off for lubrica-
tion.
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before lubricating.
There is a danger of burning when removable
outer panels are not in place.
After maintenance work any removable outer
panels must be back in place, and all moving
or electrical parts shielded before the
machine is switched on.
