Warning And Safety Instructions - Miele HM 5316 User Manual

Warning and safety instructions

Read the operating instructions before
using this machine for the first time. This
way you will avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the machine.
Correct usage
Only iron materials with this ironer which
are suitable for machine ironing and
which were washed in water.
If the ironer is used in a publically
accessible room, it is the supervisor's
responsibility to ensure that operators are
able to use it safely.
Technical and electrical safety
This machine must not be operated in the
same room as dry cleaning machines
which use solvents containing PERs or CFCs.
The ironer should only be used in a room
with a low relative humidity level.
Any removable outer panels must be
back in place, and all moving or
electrical parts shielded before the machine
is switched on.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features, fixtures and control
elements of the machine.
Do not use a machine with damaged
controls or with damaged cables. These
must be repaired before it is used again.
Repairs to the machine should only be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
service engineer to ensure safety.
Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be
guaranteed.
The electrical safety of this appliance
can only be guaranteed when continuity
is complete between the appliance and an
effective earthing system which complies
with local and national regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety requirement
is regularly tested and where there is any
doubt the on-site electrical system must be
inspected by a qualified electrician. The
4
manufacturer can not be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing
system.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when it
is switched off at the wall isolator or when
the mains fuse is disconnected at the
distribution board.
Use
This ironer must not be left unattended
during use.
Never allow children to play on or near
the rotary ironer, or to operate it
themselves.
This machine is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use
by a person responsible for their safety.
When the ironer is heated up with the
heater plate in position, there is an acute
danger of burning, if the edge of the heater
plate is touched on the feed-out side.
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 on time. The same applies when
ironing garments with pockets.
Ensure the room in which the ironer is
being used is sufficiently lit.
Always keep a fire extinguisher
accessible in the rare event of textiles
igniting.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If other
parts are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be invalidated.
It is imperative that all local and national
safety regulations concerning the use of
this machine are observed.
