Miele PRI 214 EL Rotary Ironer Electrically Heated Instructions

Installation and planning notes

Installation requirements

The Rotary Iron may only be commissioned by Miele Customer Service or by a Miele specialist dealer.

▶ The Rotary Iron must be installed in accordance with applicable regulations and standards. Local energy supplier regulations must also be observed.

Operating conditions

– Ambient temperature: +40°F to +105°F (+5°C to +40°C)
– Humidity: 10% to 85%
– At a +70°F (+21°C) ambient temperature, the maximum permissible relative humidity is 70%.

The Rotary Iron must not be operated in the same room as dry- cleaning equipment using perchloroethylene or solvents containing CFCs.

Installation

The Rotary Iron should be transported to the installation site using a suitable pallet truck. Do not remove the packaging until right before the appliance is used for the first time.

The lateral mounting flaps must be fitted before transporting the Rotary Iron or lifting it off the wooden frame.

The suspension points for lifting hooks/straps are located under the side columns between the screw-on feet.

During installation, ensure that the clearance next to and behind the appliance columns is at least 2 5/8″ (600 mm) so that the cover panels remain accessible.

The clearance in front of the Rotary Iron must amount to at least 5 ft (1.5 m) to prevent foreign materials (cabinetry, walls) from getting hot. There should be a clearance of at least 3.3 ft (1 m) above the appliance.

During transportation of the Rotary Iron, ensure its stability. The Rotary Iron must not be transported without the wooden frame. If the Rotary Iron needs to be transported again (e.g., if you are moving location), it must be lifted onto the wooden frame and secured on it.

Leveling the appliance

To ensure the Rotary Iron functions correctly and energy-efficiently, it must be leveled horizontally by means of the screw-on feet.

■ Dismantle the mounting flaps on the left and right sides.
■ Align the appliance using the screw-on feet and a level in such a way that the roller and the side columns are level with each other. For this purpose, the screw-on feet can be unscrewed up to a maximum of 2 1/2″ (60 mm).
■ After leveling the appliance, secure the screw-on feet with the nuts so they cannot come loose.

Floor anchoring

Suitable anchoring materials for the Rotary Iron are available as optional accessories from Miele Customer Service. Alternatively, the tensioning strips that secured the Rotary Iron to the transport pallet for delivery may be used to anchor the appliance to the floor.

Tensioning strip from the transport pallet

▶ Coin-operated rotary irons must be anchored to the floor by the supporting feet to prevent the risk of the machine tipping.

Electrical connection

The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician who must ensure that all electrical work is completed in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.

A power cord is not included with the machine. Please ensure that a power cord is available for installation.

The electrical connection and the wiring diagram are located behind the mounting flap of the right side column.

If the appliance is hard wired, an appropriate sized circuit breaker must be installed on site. Switches with a minimum contact gap greater than 1/8″ (3 mm) are suitable disconnectors.

The plug connector or disconnector must be easily accessible at all times.

If the Rotary Iron is disconnected from the electricity supply, the dis- connector must be lockable or the point of disconnection must be within clear view of the appliance.

If it is necessary to install a residual-current device (RCD) in accordance with the local regulations, a type-A residual-current device can be used.

Vent ducting

Risk of fire if vent ducting is not fitted correctly.
The vent ducting must not be channeled into a chimney or flue which is already in use for any type of burning installation (gas, coal, or oil). The vent ducting for the Rotary Iron must be installed separately from the vent ducting for any tumble dryers.

The warm and moist exhaust air from the Rotary Iron must be conducted outdoors or to a suitable venting duct via the shortest possible path.

Suitable measures must be taken to prevent condensate from flowing back into the Rotary Iron. If the fan is not powerful enough to remove the moist air, a suitably powerful additional fan must be fitted in the shaft or the roof outlet on site. There must be sufficient air intake to the installation site to match the air outlet volume.

– The connector for the vent ducting is located on the rear of the left side column and has a diameter of 2 3/4″ (70 mm) (HT DN 70).
– The exhaust ducting must have an internal diameter of 2 3/4″ (70 mm) (HT DN 70).
– If the vent ducting is directed upwards, a condensate drain hole with a diameter of approx. 1/8″-1/3″ (3–5 mm) must be provided at the lowest point.
– Adequate ventilation of the installation room must be ensured.
– The on-site vent ducting and the exit point to the outdoors must be checked on a regular basis for a build-up of lint. Clean them when-ever necessary.
– The end of the ducting leading outdoors must be protected against the elements (e.g., with a downward-facing 90° elbow).

Ducting lengths

*with optional extraction fan
Once the Rotary Iron has been successfully installed and connected, refit all the housing parts and outer panels that were removed.
