Silvercrest SDB 2000 A1 Ironing with Steam Spray, Setting the Steam Iron Temporarily Aside

Ironing with Steam Spray

The steam spray is especially suited to smoothing places in the laundry that are difficult to access.

•Raise the steam iron a little way.

•Press the steam spray button to release the steam spray i.

This prevents water dripping from the soleplate. You must then re-set a suitable temperature with the temperature controller a. As soon as this is reached, steam production is continued.

Additionally, if you set the steam iron down or just let it cool off, the drip-stop function prevents water leakage from the soleplate r.

Setting the Steam Iron

Temporarily Aside

Fire Hazard!

Never leave the steam iron unattended when it is hot or switched on.

•Set the temperature control a to the position "MIN“.

•Only put the steam iron down on its standing foot e, fig. 2.

Putting the Steam Iron Away After Use

•Remove the power plug from the power socket.

•Empty the water reservoir and clean the gliding sole r.

•Place the cool steam iron horizontally on a soft, clean base.

Drip-Stop Function

With conventional steam irons it can happen that water drips from the iron sole r at too low ironing temperatures. This iron however possesses a new equipment characteristic, the Drip-Stop function:

At low temperatures the iron automatically switches off the supply of water for generating steam (for steam blast and steam ironing). When this happens, a “CLICK” is to be heard.

Cleaning

Self-cleaning function

•Fill the water container up to the marking MAX.

•Insert the plug into the power socket.

•Set the temperature regulator a to the position MAX.

•Let the iron warm up till the control light w cuts off and lights up again.

•Hold the iron horizontally over a trap vessel.

•Set the steam regulator u to Self-Clean position and hold it in this position. Now steam and boiling water will start emerging from the steam escape holes at the gilding sole r. Any dirt, if present, will get washed out.

•Release the steam regulator u as soon as the water in the water container is used up.

•To ensure that no water remains in the steam chamber, dry the gilding sole r thoroughly. For this purpose, wipe the gilding sole r a few times on a towel or an old cloth.

•Allow the iron to cool down before storing it away.

Note:

The effect of the self-cleaning function can diminish after extended usage of the iron. We therefore re- commend the addition of decalcification agent into the water tank.
