To do so, move the lock switch 4 on the iron in the direction of the open lock symbol . The iron can now be removed from the stand 6. ♦ Clean the soleplate 8 using a damp cloth (see fig. 1). Fig. 1 ♦ To remove any production residues, iron several times over an old, clean cloth (see fig. 2). Fig. 2SDBSB 3000 A1

 11 ■ Filling the water tank NOTE Use only tap water or distilled water. If the mains water in your location is rated as hard, it is recommended that you mix the mains water with some distilled water. Otherwise, limescale deposits can adversely affect the appliance functions. Mix tap water with distilled water as described in the table below: Water hardness Ratio of distilled water to tap water very soft/soft - medium 1:1 hard 2:1 very hard 3:1 Ask your local water utility about the water hardness in your area. Do not add water with any additives (such as starch, perfume, softeners or other chemi- cals) to the water tank 0. These could damage the appliance as residues can form in the steam chamber. The residues could contaminate the clothing if they come out of the steam outlets.

1) Remove the plug from the mains power socket if it is plugged in.

2) Pull the water tank

0 by the handle out of the base station (see fig. 3). Fig. 3

0 back into the base station until it clicks audibly into place. NOTE ► The appliance automatically detects the descaling process. After descaling, the clean control lamp t no longer lights up the next time the appliance is used. Descaling the soleplate NOTE ► Limescale deposits can form in the openings of the soleplate 8 of the iron over time. Remove this limescale as soon as the clean control lamp t lights up.

1) Remove the plug from the power socket and ensure that the appliance has

cooled down completely.

2) Use the supplied cleaning brush

q to remove the limescale deposits in the openings of the soleplate 8 (see fig. 13). Fig. 13

Troubleshooting Fault Possible cause Remedy The appliance is not working. Fault with the power supply. Check whether the plug is firmly inserted into the power socket. The appliance is not switched on. Switch on the appliance using the On/Off button

The appliance produces no/too little steam. There is not enough water in the water tank

Fill the water tank with water

The appliance is not sufficiently hot. Wait until the heat-up indicator lamp 1 goes out. The temperature control 3 is set in the range

Set a temperature suitable for steam ironing (setting range

The steam unit has not been used for a long time or is being used for the first time. Hold the steam button 2 down a little longer. The steam takes a little time until it comes out of the sole of the iron 8. Steam generation is impaired by limescale deposits in the appliance (steam chamber/sole- plate 8). Descale the appliance (see sec- tion Descaling the appliance/ Descaling the soleplate). Water drips out of the soleplate 8. If steam ironing is paused briefly, the cooling steam condenses in the connecting hose

lead to drips. This is normal. Hold the iron over a collecting cloth or container and press the steam button

Steam will discharge from the sole of the iron 8 instead of water after a few seconds. Then you can continue ironing. The set temperature is too low for steam ironing. Set a temperature suitable for steam ironing (setting range

Wet patches occur on the items being ironed. Such areas can be caused by steam condensing on the ironing board. Wipe the wetness from the ironing board and iron the wet patches dry (without steam). NOTE ► If you are unable to resolve the problem by taking any of the above-men- tioned steps, please contact the service department (see section Service).SDBSB 3000 A1

 21 ■ Transport CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE! ► Always use the lock switch 4 when transporting the appliance. This pre- vents the iron from slipping off the stand 6 and falling down. ► When transporting the appliance, always hold it by the handle on the iron, never by the handle on the water tank

0. The water tank 0 could detach

from the base station and the appliance could fall down and be damaged. ♦ Before transporting the appliance, move the lock switch 4 on the iron in the direction of the open lock symbol (see fig. 14).
