tary iron.
Before using for the first time
14
Cleaning and waxing before starting up for the first time
It is essential to clean and wax the heater plate before it is used for the first time (see
“Cleaning the heater plate” and “Waxing the heater plate” in “Cleaning and care”).
Clean the heater plate by passing the cleaning cloth offset through the rotary iron across
the entire width of the roller multiple times.
After cleaning the heater plate, wax it using the waxing cloth and suitable ironing wax.
Use the ironing wax sparingly to avoid the ironing cloth becoming too smooth.
Use
15
Preparing the laundry
Residual moisture
For an excellent finish and optimum ironing performance, the laundry
that is to be ironed should have the following levels of residual mois-
ture, depending on the type of ironing being carried out:
PRI214/217: 15–25% residual moisture
PRI210: 15% residual moisture
The ideal residual moisture level depends on the composition of the
fabric.
Sorting the laun-
dry
Sort the laundry according to type and fabric before starting to iron.
At the same time, please observe the instructions on the laundry
item’s care label. We recommend sorting the laundry in the following
order:
Type of material Symbol Temperature
Nylon, other synthetics 212-230°F (100–110°C)
then
Woolens, silk 231-302°F (111–150°C)
followed by
Cotton, linen 303-365°F (151–185°C)
The rotary iron must not be used for laundry containing more than
50% synthetic fibres (e.g., Dralon).
The high temperature of the rotary iron will cause the fabric to melt.
Laundry containing less than 50% synthetic fibers can be ironed at
low temperature (•range).
Starched laundry should always be ironed last.
Otherwise, any remaining starch residue on the heater plate may
have a negative effect when ironing other laundry items.
Preparing for use
Turn on the on-site power switch for the power supply.
Press the button to switch on the rotary iron.
The red display symbol flashes.
Now gently press the underside of the finger guard.
The rotary iron switches to normal operating mode.
The rotary iron is only ready to use if the finger guard has been acti-
vated properly. Otherwise, the rotary iron will switch off again after a
short period of time.
The red symbol will appear in the display and the heater plate will
heat up.

In-feed of laundry
Risk of damage as a result of incorrect in-feed of laundry.
If laundry items with buttons are incorrectly fed into the rotary iron,
they may be damaged or torn off when the item is passed into the
heater plate.
Laundry with buttons must be inserted into the rotary iron so that
the buttons are facing the roller and can be pressed into the roller’s
ironing cloth during ironing.
Place a cloth over zippers, metal buttons, and metal hooks before
ironing to protect the heater plate.
Never iron metal or plastic clasps of any kind, or raised buttons.

Use
19
Do not feed small items into the iron on only one side.
If laundry is fed in on just one side, the heat will only be used on
one side and the load only exerted on the roller padding on one
side. If in-feed of laundry continues to be on one side only, this will
be indicated by an audible signal sounding and the red symbol
or symbol appearing in the display.
Use the entire roller width wherever possible and distribute small
items evenly on the laundry in-feed table.
Removal of ironed
laundry
The picker springs on the laundry picker band separate the ironed
laundry from the roller. The laundry can then be removed from the ro-
tary iron.
Risk of burning due to hot edges of the heater plate outfeed.
While the rotary iron is in use, the heater plate gets very hot. Ironed
laundry can be very hot when it comes out of the heater plate.
Always take care when removing ironed laundry.
Do not touch the edges of the heater plate outfeed.
If a picker spring comes loose from its position, the rotary iron must
be switched off. The picker spring then needs to be moved back to
the original position of the laundry picker band by hand.
Risk of fire due to laundry self-combustion.
Hot laundry can lead to a fire as a result of self-combustion.
It is important that you let ironed laundry cool down sufficiently be-
fore packing or stacking it.
Pausing ironing
Press the button to interrupt the ironing process and switch the
rotary iron to pause mode.
In Pause mode, the roller stops and the heater plate disengages. The
rotary iron’s heater will initially remain switched on. During pause
mode, the rotary iron remains ready for use.
Press the button to start ironing again.
Standby mode
After an adjustable period of non-use, the rotary iron can switch to
standby mode. In Standby mode, the roller comes to a standstill and
the heater plate is disengaged. During this process, the rotary iron’s
heater is switched off as well.
Press the button to switch the rotary iron back on.
Standby mode is deactivated by default. Standby mode can be acti-
vated at service level by MieleTechnical Service. The time at which
the rotary iron will switch to standby mode can be adjusted to a
value between 1 and 30minutes of non-use.

vice in such a way that the heater plate exits Pause mode and the
roller begins to rotate when the footswitch is activated (domestic
setting).
Stopping ironing
After ironing, let the roller run for about 10minutes at the minimum
heating temperature and without feeding in any laundry to dry out
the padding completely.
Switch off the rotary iron by pressing the button.

has been reached and the rotary iron is ready to start ironing. This
is indicated by an audible signal sounding.
The ironing time purchased starts when the audible signal sounds.
Press the button to start the ironing process.
If ironing commences before the target temperature is reached, the
timer starts counting down when the button is pressed.
The heater plate engages and the roller begins to rotate.
After the purchased ironing time has expired, the iron emits an audi-
ble signal to indicate that the follow-up time has started. The preset
default follow-up time is 1minute.
You can now finish ironing the item that has been fed in.
Use
21
If the ironing process is paused during the follow-up time, you must
purchase more ironing time to restart the iron.
Miele Technical Service can change the duration of the follow-up
time to a value between 0–5minutes.
At the end of the follow-up time, the heater plate disengages and the

Dismantle the mounting flaps on the left and right sides.
Check the roller and front and outside of the side columns using a
level.
Align the machine using the screw-on feet in such a way that the
side columns and roller are level with each other. In the process, the
feet may be unscrewed a maximum of 2 ⅜" (60mm).
Counter the screw-on feet according to the alignment using the
nuts (under the side columns).
Electrical connection
All electrical work must be performed by a qualified service techni-
cian in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
- The electrical connection and wiring diagram are located behind the
mounting flap of the right side column.
- The values for the electrical connection and fuse rating can be
found on the data plate (see the “Technical data” chapter in this
document).
Notes for installer

- If the appliance is hard wired, a multiple-pole separator must be in-
stalled. Separators with a contact gap of more than ⅛" (3mm) are
valid as separators. All components have to bear CSA or UL ap-
proval.
- The plug connection or the disconnector must be accessible at all
times.
- You must be able to lock the disconnector or monitor the point of
disconnection at all times in case the appliance has to be discon-
nected from the power supply.
Duct for venting steam
Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer
vent, flue, or room venting ductwork It must also be laid separately
to any exhaust air duct used for a laundry dryer.
The moist warm exhaust air must be vented to the outdoors by the
shortest route possible. To ensure optimum air flow, the ducting
should contain as few bends as possible and airtight connections. Fil-
ters and louvers may not be installed into the exhaust duct.
Since the relative humidity can amount to up to 100%, suitable mea-
sures must be taken to prevent condensate from flowing back into
the machine. If the available pressure of the machine fan for over-
coming conductor resistance does not suffice, an according dimen-
sioned additional fan must be installed in the shaft or roof outlet on-
site. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room where the
ironer is installed
- The connection for the exhaust air duct for steam extraction is lo-
cated on the rear of the left side column and has a diameter of
2¾" (70mm).
- The exhaust air duct must have an internal diameter of
2¾" (70mm).
- To prevent the build-up of condensation in an upward sloping ex-
haust ducting, a ⅛“ to ¼” (3-5mm) diameter condensate trap
should be fitted at the lowest point.
- Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room where the
ironer is installed
- The on-site ducting system and the exit point to the outside must
be checked on a regular basis for a build-up of lint and cleaned if
required.
- The air duct leading into the open should be protected against the
elements, e.g. using a suitable hood or grille or with a 90° bend.

Changing the temperature unit
Miele Service can switch the temperature display from °C to °F.
Saving and loading favorites
The following steps describe how to save and load the most frequently used combinations
of ironing temperature and roller speed on the button.
Saving favorites
First set the desired ironing temperature and roller speed (see “Ironing” in “Using the ro-
tary iron”).
Then press and hold the button until it flashes once.
The set combination of ironing temperature and roller speed is then saved to the button.
Loading favorites
Tap the button to load a favorite.
The roller speed and ironing temperature of the rotary iron are then set to the combination
of values saved to the button.
Exiting favorites
Tap the button to exit a favorite setting.
The ironing temperature and roller speed set previously are loaded.
Preventing running while unloaded
If you interrupt the ironing process for a certain period of time, press the button to enter
Pause mode or alternatively press the button to switch off the iron. This prevents any
unnecessary running while unloaded (i.e., the iron operating without laundry) and means
that much less strain is exerted on the ironing cloth and the drive.
If the rotary iron is operated while unloaded over an extended period of time, this can re-
sult in a significantly shorter padding service life.
Continuing ironing after a power outage
After a power outage, press the button.
The rotary iron is switched back on.
Activate the finger guard.
Press the button.
Ironing can then be resumed.
Peak load/energy management
An option is available for connecting the rotary iron to a peak-load/energy management
system. If the peak-load/energy management system is active, the rotary iron’s heater ele-
ment switches off and either or .flashes in the display. The residual heat in the
heater plate means that ironing can continue until the iron goes into Pause mode().

Fault messages
When a fault occurs, ironing is interrupted, the button flashes, and a four-digit code ap-
pears in the display. Pressing the flashing button acknowledges the fault (the fault is
stored in the fault memory). The button flashes and the ironing process can be
restarted.

Cleaning and care
29
Heater plate maintenance
Regular heater plate maintenance is essential for protecting the roller drive and the pad-
ding. Refer to the instructions in the MieleIroningHandbook. Always wax the heater plate
after cleaning. Failure to exercise due care and attention can result in a significant reduc-
tion in the service life of the machine.
The heater plate for this rotary iron is made of aluminum.
Coarse-grained scouring agents or abrasive cleaning cloths must not be used for clean-
ing aluminum heater plates.
For optimum results, we recommend using the Mielecleaningset. The cleaning set con-
tains a cleaning cloth, a waxing cloth, and ironing wax. This set is available as an op-
tional accessory.
Residue (such as starch and detergent) can be left behind in the heater plate. For this rea-
son, clean the heater plate as appropriate for the degree of soiling before starting work.
When the red display symbol lights up, this signals that the heater plate requires
cleaning and waxing in cleaning mode.
Starting the cleaning program
Press and hold the button for more than 3seconds.
The rotary iron is now in the cleaning program. 176°F (80°C) is shown in the display.
If the current ironing temperature is above 176°F (80°C), the symbol is displayed and
the rotary iron is cooled down.
The cleaning process can be started when the button is flashing.
Press the flashing button to start the rotary iron in the cleaning program.
The rotary iron can then be cleaned using the cleaning cloth.
Cleaning and care
30
Using the cleaning cloth
Use the cleaning cloth for cleaning the heater plate.
Since the cleaning cloth is smaller than the heater plate, you cannot clean the entire
heater plate width by feeding the cloth through once. You need to feed the cloth through
the iron several times, and move it from side to side.
Tip: You can loosen incrustations such as starch residue by feeding a cloth soaked in luke-
warm water through the iron first.

Lay the cleaning cloth on the left side of the infeed table with the cleaning strip facing the
heater plate.
Feed the cleaning cloth evenly and straight from the left side of the infeed table through
the iron until it comes all the way out on the other side.
The cleaning strip loosens the soiling. The softer cotton strip removes the soiling and pol-
ishes the heater plate.

It is essential to wax the heater plate after cleaning.
You can switch directly to the waxing program by pressing the temperature selection but-
ton on the right or exit the cleaning program by pressing and holding the button for
at least 3seconds.
Starting the waxing program
Press and hold the button for at least 3seconds.
2temperature selection buttons which do not take the form of temperature dots (e.g.,)
are displayed.
To start the waxing program, press the temperature selection button on the right.
The Rotary Iron will switch to the waxing program. 176°F(80°C) is shown in the display.
To deactivate the waxing program, press the button and then keep the button
pressed for at least 3seconds.
When the Rotary Iron has reached a temperature of 176°F(80°C), the button begins to
flash. The waxing program is now ready to begin.
Press the flashing button to start the waxing program.
The heater plate can then be waxed using the waxing cloth.
Once waxing has been successfully carried out in the waxing program for a period lasting
at least 40seconds, the maintenance interval for prompting the cleaning and waxing of
the heater plate (= red display symbol) will be reset.
Using the waxing cloth and ironing wax
Sprinkle some ironing wax into the pocket of the waxing cloth.
Use the ironing wax sparingly to prevent the ironing cloth around the roller from becoming
too smooth.

Feed the waxing cloth into the rotary iron multiple times from the left or right side at the
necessary intervals across the entire working width of the iron. If no damp patches can
be seen on the waxing cloth after it has passed through the rotary iron, add additional
ironing wax.
On rotary irons with feed-in belts, ensure that no ironing wax comes into contact with
the belts.
Otherwise, the belts become too smooth and can no longer be driven properly.
Press and hold the button for at least 3seconds once waxing is complete.
Waxing mode is deactivated.
- After waxing, feed a cotton cloth through the rotary iron to remove wax residues.
- To maintain the smooth surface of the heater plate, it should be waxed after every work-
ing day.
Always carry out cleaning in the cleaning program and waxing in the waxing program,
otherwise the rotary iron’s maintenance interval will not be reset. The maintenance interval
is only reset once cleaning and waxing have been carried out in the corresponding mode
for at least 40seconds.

dry pickers on the roller need to be fully retracted one after the other.
Switch on the rotary iron by pressing the button.
Pull the finger guard up slightly.
Press and hold the button for longer than 3seconds.
The heater plate disengages and is locked into this position.
Repeatedly press thebutton to reverse the roller incrementally (jog mode).
Take the end of the ironing cloth, and put it on the laundry infeed table.
With the roller in reverse, completely remove the ironing cloth.
After that, press and hold the button for longer than 3seconds to deactivate the main-
tenance position.
Wire wool residues may fall onto the laundry infeed table while the ironing cloth is being re-
moved or fitted. These residues must be removed.
Fitting the ironing cloth (only for steel-wool roller covering)
Switch on the rotary iron by pressing the button.
Pull the finger guard up slightly.
Select the lowest temperature () and the lowest roller speed ().
Lay the ironing cloth on the laundry infeed table parallel to the roller and feed it into the

heater plate and roller (laundry outfeed).
The stainless wool padding on the roller may only be replaced by MieleTechnical Ser-
vice!
The diameter of a new or re-upholstered roller must not be less than the dimensions in-
dicated below (including the ironing cloth).
PRI210/214 PRI217
8 1/4"–8 7/16" (210–215mm) 9 13/16"–10 1/16" (250–255mm)
Within this range the roller should be wound cylindrically over its entire length.
During the replacement of the roller padding, MieleTechnical Service should check
whether the carbon brushes of the drive motor need to be replaced as well.
