Automatic switch-off This steam iron is fitted with an automatic switch-off system. This stops the steam iron from heating up if it is not moved within a certain amount of time: ■ If the iron is resting on its soleplate 0 and is not moved for about 30 sec- onds, you will hear a warning beep and the control lamp for the automatic switch-off 7 starts flashing. The steam iron will automatically stop heating up. To deactivate the automatic switch-off, lift up the steam iron and move it gently from side to side. The steam iron will heat up again. ■ If the iron is on its base 9 and is not moved for about 8 minutes, you will hear a warning beep and the control lamp for the automatic switch-off 7 starts flashing. The steam iron will automatically stop heating up. To deacti- vate the automatic switch-off, lift up the steam iron and move it gently from side to side. The steam iron will heat up again. NOTE ► The automatic switch-off is not intended as a substitute for removing the plug from the mains power! It is merely intended to reduce the fire hazard if you forget to switch off the steam iron. Anti-drip system The steam iron has an anti-drip system that automatically switches off the steam blast at low temperatures. If this happens, you will hear a click. You must then set a suitable temperature with the temperature control 6. As soon as this tempera- ture is reached, steam production is resumed. NOTE ► Wait until the set temperature has been reached and the control lamp

lights up before pressing the steam blast button 4 again. Otherwise, water may drip from the soleplate 0.SDBB 2400 A1 ■ 12 

Tips for energy-saving ironing ■ Iron once a week rather than every day. This reduces the amount of energy required, as you only need to heat up the iron once. ■ Pre-sort the washing: first iron the washing that requires a low temperature. You will find the temperature recommendation for ironing on the care label of the laundry items. ■ Steam is not always necessary. Many items of laundry can be ironed flat even without a steam blast. ■ Clean and descale the iron regularly so that the nozzles do not become clogged. If the nozzles become clogged, ironing takes a great deal more time and energy. Cleaning RISK OF ELECTROCUTION! ► Before cleaning, always disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket (except when using the self-cleaning function). There is a risk of electric shock! RISK OF INJURY! ► Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning it. Otherwise, there is risk of burns! Cleaning the housing and soleplate ATTENTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE! ► Do not use abrasive, aggressive or chemical cleaning agents. They can damage the surface and also lead to irreparable damage to the appliance. ■ Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth only. ■ Clean the soleplate 0 using a damp cloth and a mild, non-scouring deter- gent. Self-cleaning function

1) Fill the water tank to the MAX marking.

2) Insert the plug into the mains power socket.

3) Set the temperature control

6 to the max setting.

4) Set the steam control 3 to the highest level .

5) Allow the steam iron to heat up until the control lamp 7 lights up perma-

6) Hold the steam iron horizontally over a sink or suitable container.SDBB 2400 A1

7) Press and hold down the self clean button q. Move the steam iron back

and forth a little. Steam and boiling water will flow from the steam holes in the soleplate 0. Any impurities that may be present are flushed out.

8) Release the self clean button q as soon as all of the water in the water tank is

used up. Pour out any water left in the water tank through the filler opening 2.

9) Dry the soleplate 0 thoroughly. To do this, move the soleplate 0 back and

forth several times over a towel or an old piece of material.

10) Remove the power plug from the mains power socket and allow

the steam iron to cool down before placing it in storage. Descaling Anti-limescale function NOTE ► The iron has an integrated anti-limescale function that reduces limescale deposits during steam ironing and thus prolongs the life of the steam iron. However, the anti-limescale function cannot completely prevent the natural process of limescale build-up. ► To avoid impairing the anti-limescale function, fill the water tank with tap water or distilled water only. Descaling the steam iron NOTE ► The steam iron is designed for use with tap water (for information on using tap water, see section Filling the water tank). However, it is necessary to descale the steam chamber regularly with a descaling agent to remove limescale residues and thus maintain the maximum performance of the steam iron. ► The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of the water and how often the appliance is used. We recommend descaling at least once every two months or as soon as you notice that the appliance is generating less steam. ► We recommend using the descaling agent durgol universal bio fast decalcifier to descale the steam iron. To descale the steam iron, proceed as follows:

1) Remove the plug from the mains power socket. Make sure that the steam iron

has completely cooled down.

2) Empty the water tank of the steam iron completely into a sink via the filler

3) Mix 150 ml of tap water with 150 ml of descaling agent (ratio 1:1) and

pour the mixture into the water tank.

4) Allow the solution to work for approx. 30 minutes.

5) Hold the steam iron horizontally over a sink or suitable container.

6) Press and hold down the self clean button

q. Move the steam iron back and forth a little so that the contents of the water tank come out of the steam holes of the soleplate 0.

7) Release the self clean button

q as soon as the amount of water flowing out of the steam holes on the soleplate 0 becomes noticeably less. Empty the remaining contents of the water tank completely into a sink via the filler opening

NOTE ► After descaling the steam iron, always carry out two rinsing cycles using the self clean button q. Do not use a descaling agent without subsequently thoroughly rinsing the water tank with tap water.

8) Use the measuring cup

w to fill the water tank up to the MAX marking with tap water and repeat steps 5 to 7 twice. To rinse the water tank thoroughly, use only tap water for the two rinses. Storage ■ Store the cooled-down appliance in a clean, dust-free and dry location. Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution The steam iron blasts out no steam/very little steam. The steam iron’s wa- ter tank is empty. Fill the water tank with tap water (See section Filling the water tank). Limescale deposits reduce the steam output. Descale the steam iron (see section Descaling the steam iron). The steam iron does not get hot. The steam iron is not plugged in or is not switched on. Insert the plug into a wall power socket and adjust the temperature control 6 to the desired ironing temperature. The steam iron cannot be switched on. The steam iron is defective. Have the steam iron repaired by a qualified technician (see section Service).SDBB 2400 A1
