Frequently Asked Questions - DBS 5591 AEG

How to fill the water tank?

Press the RELEASE button under the water tank to remove it. Remove the anti-scale filter cartridge, then fill the tank up to the maximum mark (1.0 litre). Replace the cartridge and put the tank back into the base until you hear a 'click'.

How to use the vertical steam function?

Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the iron about 5-15 cm from the fabric. Press the steam jet button (1 or 10) in vertical position. Caution: never direct steam towards people, risk of burns.

What does the rapid flashing of the blue light mean?

Rapid flashing indicates that the iron temperature is still too high compared to the selected setting. Wait until the light stops flashing and a beep sounds before ironing, to avoid burning the fabric.

How to replace the anti-scale filter cartridge?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove the water tank, take out the used cartridge. Insert a new cartridge, fill the tank to the maximum, then replace it. Wait a few minutes before turning on again to allow the cartridge to become saturated with water.

What type of water to use?

Use only tap water or distilled water. Never use battery water, dryer water, or water mixed with products like starch, perfume, or fabric softener, as this will damage the appliance.

How to set the temperature?

Use the SET selector button (11) to choose the temperature suitable for the fabric (see the table in the manual). The blue light flashes slowly during heating. The operating temperature is reached when the light stops flashing and a beep sounds.

What to do in case of abnormal pump noise?

A loud pump noise indicates that the water level is too low. Turn off the appliance, unplug it, and fill the water tank as described in question 1.

The appliance turns off by itself, is this normal?

Yes, the iron is equipped with an auto shut-off function. If not used for 20 minutes, it turns off automatically. The red light flashes. To reactivate, use the SET button to select the desired temperature.

How to clean the soleplate?
