Selecting The Roller Speed - Miele HM 16-80 Operating Instructions Manual

Selecting the roller speed

There are 5 roller speed settings, from
low (approx. 2 metres per minute) to
high (approx. 4.5 metres per minute).
A lower roller speed makes it easier to
iron complicated articles such as shirts
and blouses. It is also best to select a
lower roller speed when ironing folded
items, which may require more than one
pass through the ironer to get them
smooth and dry.
Thinner, single thickness items, e.g.
handkerchiefs and tea towels can be
ironed at a higher roller speed.
°C
^ Set the roller speed selector to the
speed you require.

foot pedal which has three operating
positions:
– raising the heater plate (rest)

the heater plate and the roller.

floor and then lift your foot up a little
so that the heater plate remains in
position but the roller does not rotate.
