Caring for the environment
5
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation.
The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain
specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct
function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for elec-
trical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also re-
sponsible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored
on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to disposal.
Warning and Safety instructions
6
Please read these operating instructions supplied with the ironer before using it for the
first time. They contain important information on the safety, use, and maintenance of the
ironer.
This prevents both personal injury and damage to the appliance.
If other persons are being shown how to operate the ironer, they must be given or made
aware of these important safety instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
Appropriate use
This ironer must be used as described in these instructions and must be checked on a reg-
ular basis to make sure it is functioning correctly.
This ironer is only intended for ironing fabrics that were washed in water. Check fabric
care labels to verify that the articles are suitable for machine ironing.
This ironer is intended for use in commercial settings. It is not intended for domestic
use. If the ironer is operated in a publicly accessible place, it is the supervisor's responsib-
ility to ensure suitable measures are in place to protect users from any source of risk or
danger.
This ironer is not intended for outdoor use.
Technical and electrical safety
This ironer should not be operated in the same room as dry-cleaning equipment using
perchloroethylene or solvents containing CFCs.
This ironer should only be operated in a suitable dry room.
Only operate this ironer when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is im-
possible to touch an electrical component or moving part.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety components or control elements of this
ironer.
Do not make any alterations to the ironer unless authorised to do so by Miele.
If the controls or the electrical cabling insulation has been damaged, this ironer must not
be used until it has been repaired.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele
authorised service technician.

caused by the lack of or inadequacy of an effective earthing system.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
This ironer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when switched off at
the mains isolator, or the mains fuse is disconnected.
Operation
This ironer must not be operated unsupervised.
This ironer can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental cap-
abilities or lack of experience or knowledge if they are supervised whilst using it or have
been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the consequences
of incorrect operation.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the ironer and do not let them play with it.
In the heated state and with the heater plate contacting the roller, there is a serious risk
of burning if the edge of the heater plate on the laundry output side is touched.
Do not set the ironing temperature higher than the temperature given on the care label of
the item you intend to iron. The laundry could ignite if the ironing temperature is set too
high.
When ironing double layered items, do not reach in between the layers to straighten out
the fabric. This is extremely dangerous as you may not be able to extract your hands in
time. The same applies when ironing garments with pockets.
The flexible laundry feed mechanism (depending on model) must only be operated from
the front.
Ensure the room in which the ironer is being used is sufficiently lit.
Keep the working area around the ironer free from clutter.
Always keep a fire extinguisher accessible in the rare event of textiles igniting. Items
which are unsuitable for ironing or which have not been washed in water can catch fire.
This ironer may only be used in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of
the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified person. It is also imperative that
all local and national safety regulations concerning the use of this ironer are observed.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are
used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Coin operated ironers must be secured by the side columns to prevent the risk of the
machine tipping.
Notes on the use of this ironer
Only responsible people over the age of 16 years who have been fully trained in the use
of the ironer should use the infeed table.
When working with the ironer, always wear close fitting clothes and keep long hair tied

Swing out bar
(for PM 1214 as an optional accessory)
Freshly ironed items can be placed over the hinged swing out bar to prevent creasing.
Flexible laundry feed for outfeed laundry removal
(for PM 1217 as an optional accessory)
The flexible laundry feed mechanism enables the ironed laundry to be fed through to the
back of the ironer for removal. It is particularly suited for large pieces of laundry like
sheets / duvet covers or table cloths.
The flexible laundry feed mechanism must only be operated from the front of the
ironer for outfeed laundry removal.
Never touch the heater plate as this will be hot. Danger of burning.
Preparing the laundry
15
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:
PM 1214, PM 1217: 15–25 % residual moisture
PM 1210: 15 % residual moisture
The ideal level of residual moisture depends on the textile's proper-
ties.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry according to type and fabric before starting to iron.
At the same time, please observe the instructions on the wash care
label. We recommend sorting the laundry in the following order:
Type of material
Symbol
Temperature
Nylon and other synthetics
100–110 °C
then
Woollens, silks
111–150 °C
followed by
Cottons, linens
151–180 °C
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.
Cleaning and waxing before use
It is essential to clean and wax the heater plate before it is used
(see “Cleaning and maintenance”).
Clean the heater plate by passing the cleaning cloth across the en-
tire width of the roller.
After cleaning the heater plate, wax it using the waxing cloth and
suitable ironing wax. Be sure to use the ironing wax sparingly.

reached and the symbol no longer appears in the display.
Now press the flashing button to start up the ironer.
The ironing process begins.
Tip: Before starting to iron, allow the roller to rotate for about
5 minutes so that the temperatures of the heater plate and roller can
equalise.
When the machine has heated up, there is a danger of burns on
the edge of the heater plate.
Warning labels on the outer casing of the heater plate indicate the
danger of burns.
The ironing temperature should be selected according to the type of
fabric being ironed.

Laundry feed
Press the button to start the ironing process.
The heater plate engages and the roller begins to rotate.
Laundry with buttons must be inserted into the ironer so that
the buttons are facing the roller and can be pressed into the roller's
ironing cloth during ironing.
Otherwise, there is a risk of them being damaged or torn off when
they meet the heater plate.
Place a cloth between zips, metal buttons, and metal hooks to pro-
tect the heater plate before ironing.
Never iron metal or plastic clasps of any kind, or extremely raised
buttons (e.g. ball-shaped buttons).
Now lay the item of laundry parallel to the roller at the beginning of
the laundry infeed table.
Smooth the item of laundry.
Feed the item of laundry evenly into the ironer.
Do not feed small items of laundry into the ironer on only one side.
If laundry is fed in on just one side, the heat will only be reduced on
one side and the load only exerted on the roller padding on one
side. If the laundry continues to be fed in on one side only, this will
be signaled by an an audible signal and the red symbol or
symbol appearing in the display.
Use the entire roller width wherever possible and distribute small
items of laundry evenly on the laundry infeed table.
Pauses in ironing
Press the button to go into Pause mode when the ironer is
switched on.
In Pause mode, the roller stops and the heater plate disengages. The
ironer heater element will initially remain switched on during this.
Press the button to start ironing again.
The ironer remains ready to operate in Pause mode. After not being
used for a period of 10 minutes, the temperature is reduced to
60 °C.
After an adjustable period of non-use, the ironer switches to
Standby mode.
Standby mode
Standby mode is switched off in the factory settings. Standby mode
can be activated at service level by Miele Service. The value repres-
enting the time after which the ironer switches to Standby mode can
be set between 1 and 30 minutes of non-use. Press the button to
switch the ironer back on.
In Standby mode, the roller comes to a standstill and the heater
plate is disengaged. The ironer heater element switches off.
FlexControl foot-
switch
Activating the moveable footswitch stops the roller. This makes it
easy to avoid mistakes when feeding in items.
Steam ironing
While ironing, press the footswitch with your foot to steam the laun-
dry.
The roller stops moving. The heater plate remains engaged.
Remove your foot from the footswitch again to continue ironing.
The roller automatically begins to rotate again. The ironing process
continues.
Alternatively, the footswitch can be adjusted by Miele Service in
such a way that the heater plate exits Pause mode and the roller be-
gins to rotate when the footswitch is activated (domestic switching).
Pick-off bands
The pick-off bands are used for picking laundry off the roller.
The ironed laundry can be very hot when it comes out of the
heater plate.
Danger of burning.
Wear gloves to protect your hands if necessary.
After ironing, let the roller run for about 5 minutes at the minimum
heating temperature without feeding in any laundry to dry out the
padding completely.
Switch off the ironer by pressing the button.
The heater plate disengages and the fan runs for 10 minutes to cool
down the machine. The button flashes during this process.
Switch off the on-site main switch.
Allow the ironed laundry to cool down before packing or stack-
ing it.
Hot laundry could self-ignite and cause a fire.
Ironing with a payment system
Press the button to switch on the ironer.
The symbol flashes.
Now insert the coin or token into the payment system.
The symbol will go out in the display.
Select the appropriate ironing temperature for the type of fabric.
Then select the desired roller speed.
After the indicator light goes out, the ironer is ready for ironing
and the countdown of the purchased ironing time begins.
Press the button to start the ironing process.
The heater plate engages and the roller begins to rotate.
At the end of the ironing time, the heater plate disengages and the
roller comes to a standstill.
The indicator flashes. More ironing time can be purchased at any
time.
Changing the temperature unit
The temperature unit display can be changed from °C to °F by Miele
Service.
Favourites setting
Using the button, the most frequently used combination of tem-
perature and roller speed can be saved so that it can be accessed
quickly and easily.
Press and hold the button until it flashes once to save the desired
parameters. Saved values can be called up by pressing the button
briefly. The previously set values will be restored upon exiting the fa-
vourites function.
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 ironer. This prevents any unnecessary running while
unloaded (i.e. the ironer operating without laundry) and means that
much less strain is exerted on the ironing cloth and the motor.
If the ironer is operated while unloaded over an extended period of
time, this will result in the roller padding significantly drying out.
This may cause a significant reduction in the service life of the pad-
ding.
Power outage during ironing
In the event of a power outage, the heater plate disengages automat-
ically. When the power is restored, you need to restart the ironer by
pressing the button.
If a power outage persists for an extended period of time, the ironer
must be switched on again by pressing the button, operating the
finger guard, and pressing the button.
Peak-load / energy management (optional)
The ironer can be connected to a peak-load / energy management
system using a kit which is available as an optional accessory. If the
peak-load / energy management system is active, the ironer's heater
element switches off and either or . flashes in the display. The
residual heat in the heater plate means that ironing can continue until
the ironer goes into Pause mode .
When a fault occurs, ironing is interrupted, the button flashes, and
a four-digit code appears in the display. Pressing the flashing but-
ton acknowledges the fault (the fault is stored in the fault memory).
The button flashes and the ironing process can be restarted.
If the fault message appears again, repeat the process or switch the
ironer off before switching it back on again. If the fault persists, call
Miele Service.

Cleaning and maintenance
25
Cleaning the heater plate
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the heater plate is essential for
protecting the roller drive and the padding. Refer to the instructions in
the Miele Ironing Handbook. Always wax the heater plate after clean-
ing. Failure to exercise due care and attention can result in a signific-
ant reduction in the service life of the ironer.
The heater plate for this ironer is made of aluminium.
Coarse-grained scouring agents or abrasive cleaning cloths must
not be used for cleaning aluminium heater plates.
Only use the Miele cleaning set for cleaning. It contains a cleaning
cloth, a waxing cloth, and ironing wax. This set is available as an
optional accessory.
Residue (such as starch and detergent) may deposit on the heater
plate. For this reason, clean the heater plate as appropriate for the
degree of soiling before starting work.
From machine number 120610797 in the case of the PM 1210 and
machine number 120610687 in the case of the PM 1214, all ironers
in the PM 1210, 1214, and 1217 product ranges are supplied with
the waxing and cleaning display function (red symbol ).
When the red symbol lights up, this signals that the heater plate
requires cleaning and waxing in cleaning mode.
Starting the
cleaning pro-
gramme
Press and hold the button for more than 3 seconds.
The ironer is now in the cleaning programme. 80 °C is shown in the
display.
If the current ironing temperature is above 80 °C, the symbol is
displayed and the ironer is cooled down. You can start the cleaning
process once the symbol goes out and an ironing temperature of
80 °C is indicated in the display.
Cleaning and maintenance
26
Cleaning with the
cleaning cloth
Use the cleaning cloth for cleaning the heater plate.
Since the cleaning cloth is narrower than the heater plate, you can-
not clean the entire heater plate width by feeding the cloth through
once. You need to feed the cloth through the ironer several times,
and move it from side to side.
Tip: You can loosen incrustations such as starch residues by feeding
a cloth soaked in lukewarm water through the ironer 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 ironer 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 polishes the heater plate.

If waxing has been successfully carried out in waxing mode for a
period lasting at least 40 seconds, the maintenance interval for
prompting the cleaning and waxing of the heater plate (= red sym-
bol ) will be reset.
Waxing with the
waxing cloth
Sprinkle some wax into the pocket of the waxing cloth.
Use the wax sparingly to avoid the ironing cloth becoming too
smooth.
Close the pocket.
Press the button to start the waxing process.
Lay the waxing cloth with the rubber-coated side facing down-
wards (i.e. towards the roller) and feed it into the heated flatwork
ironer (heater plate temperature: approx. 180 °C).

complete.
Waxing mode is deactivated.
Tip: To maintain the smooth surface of the heater plate, we recom-
mend waxing it after every working day.
Padding instructions
Before the ironing cloth can be removed for the purpose of cleaning
or replacing the roller, the ironer must be switched off and the heater
plate allowed to cool down.
Removing the
ironing cloth
The ironing cloth on the PM 1217 with leaf-spring padding
must only be removed or replaced by Miele Service.
If the ironing cloth is removed without authorisation or the aid of
Miele Service, there is a risk of damaging the leaf-spring padding.
Before the ironing cloth can be removed, the laundry pickers on the
roller need to be fully retracted one after the other.
Switch on the ironer by pressing the button.
Press and hold the button for longer than 3 seconds.
The heater plate disengages and is locked into this position.
Repeatedly press the - button to reverse the roller incrementally (jog
mode).
Take the end of the ironing cloth and put it on the laundry infeed ta-
ble.
With the roller in reverse, completely remove the ironing cloth.
After this, press and hold the button for longer than 3 seconds to
deactivate the maintenance position.
Wire wool residues may fall onto the laundry infeed table while the
ironing cloth is being taken off. These residues must be removed.

Fitting the ironing
cloth
Switch on the ironer by pressing the button.
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 ironer.
The padding needs to be changed if there is a visible gap on the
lower edge of the heater plate and roller (laundry outfeed).
The stainless wool padding on the roller may only be replaced by
Miele Service!
The diameter of a new or re-upholstered roller (including the ironing
cloth) must not be less than the dimensions indicated below.
PM 1210, PM 1214
PM 1217
210–215 mm
250–255 mm
Within this range the roller should be wound cylindrically over its en-
tire length.
When the roller padding is replaced, Miele Service should check
whether the carbon brushes of the drive motor need to be replaced
as well.
Miele Service
In the event of a malfunction, contact Miele Service. The Miele Ser-
