Miele B 890 - Manual (Page 13)

Testing the finger guard
The finger guard is a safety feature
and should be checked each time
the rotary iron is used.
^ With the rotary iron turned on, press
the foot pedal down.
The heater plate comes down onto the
rotating roller.
^ If you lift the finger guard now, the
roller stops rotating and the heater
plate rises.
This shows that the finger guard is
working.
^ Let go of the finger guard and
remove your foot from the foot pedal.
^ Press the foot pedal down again.
The heater plate lowers and the roller
rotates.
Please note:
Any unevenness in the ironing cover
will smooth itself out after 3 hours of
use.
When using a new machine, if delicate
laundry is not properly pulled into the
rotary iron continue ironing. This is
usually solved after 5-10 minutes of
ironing.
If a new ironing cover is used, wash the
cloth at a high temperature (140°F/
60°C) to achive an optimal pull-in of the
laundry.
