Package contents and transport inspection The appliance is supplied with the following components as standard: ● Ironing Station ● Operating instructions NOTE ► Check the package for completeness and for signs of visible damage. ► If the consignment is incomplete or damaged due to defective packaging or carriage, contact the Service hotline (see the section Service). Unpacking ♦ Remove all parts of the appliance and the operating instructions from the box. ♦ Remove all packaging material.11 SDBS2200A1

Disposal of packaging materials The packaging protects the appliance from damage during carriage. The packaging materials have been selected for their environmental friendliness and ease of disposal, and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging to the materials cycle conserves raw materials and reduces the amount of waste that is generated. Dispose of packaging materials that are no longer needed in accordance with applicable local regulations. NOTE ► If possible, keep the original packaging of the appliance during the war- ranty period so that the appliance can be packed properly for returning in the event of a warranty claim. Set-up location requirements The surface on which you set up the base station must be stable, level and heat resistant. Electrical connection ♦ Plug the mains cable plug into a properly connected and earthed AC power outlet which delivers the voltage given in the “Technical Data” section. Handling and operation This section provides you with important information on handling and using the appliance. Before initial use ♦ Clean the soleplate with a slightly damp cloth. ♦ To remove any production residues, iron several times over an old, clean cloth. NOTE The appliance is equipped with a safety valve which regulates the build-up of excess pressure in the pressure vessel during the heating-up phase, and vents excess steam through the steam outlets on the underside of the ironing station This can lead to a slight escape of steam after switching on. This is normal behaviour and lasts just a few seconds. It does not indicate a defect in the steam iron station.12 SDBS2200A1

Filling the water tank NOTE Use only tap water or distilled water. If the tap water in your locality is rated as hard, it is a good idea to mix the tap water with some distilled water. Otherwise, lime scale build-up could impair the functionality of the appliance. Mix the tap water with distilled water as described in the table below: Water hardness Ratio of distilled water to mains water very soft/soft 0 medium 1:1 hard 2:1 very hard 3:1 Water with additives (such as starch, perfume, conditioner or other chemicals) may not be put into the water tank . These could damage the appliance as residues can form in the steam chamber. The residues could contaminate clothing if they come out of the steam outlets. ♦ Reach into the recess on the water tank and press the release catch upwards with your fi ngertips. ♦ Pull the water tank forwards and out. ♦ Fill the tank only up to the maximum limit. ♦ Push the water tank back onto the base station until it clicks into place.
