Safety information
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► The rating of the local power supply must correspond with the details
given on the rating plate of the appliance.
► To avoid potential risks, arrange for a defective appliance to be
checked and possibly repaired by qualifi ed technicians, or contact
our Customer Service Department.
► To prevent accidents, have defective plugs and/or power cables
replaced immediately by an authorised specialist technician or our
Customer Service department.
► Always disconnect from the mains power socket by pulling only on
the plug itself, never on the mains cable.
► Never bend (kink) or crush the power cable, always route it in such
a way that it cannot come into contact with hot surfaces and such
that no one can step on or trip over it.
► After every use, before cleaning and when refi lling with tap water,
always remove the plug from the mains power socket.
► Always unroll the power cable fully before switching on and do not
use an extension cable.
► Never touch the power cable or the plug with wet hands.
► Never use the steam iron adjacent to water contained in a bath, shower,
wash basin or other vessels. The proximity of water is hazardous,
even if the appliance is switched off .
► Under no circumstances should you submerge the steam iron in any
liquid or permit liquids to penetrate into the housing of the steam iron.
Do not expose the appliance to humidity and do not use it outdoors.
If any liquid gets into the housing, disconnect the appliance from the

Before fi rst use
1) Remove the steam iron from the packaging.
2) Remove all stickers and protective fi lms from
the steam iron and from the sole of the iron 9.
WARNING – RISK OF
SUFFOCATION!
Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid the
risks of asphyxiation, keep plastic bags out of
the reach of babies and toddlers.
3) Fill the water tank with water (See the chapter
"Filling the water tank").
4) Insert the plug into a mains power socket supplying an electrical current as detailed on the
rating plate.
5) To switch on the iron and set the temperature,
press the TEMP
3 button repeatedly until
11/MAX appears on the display 1.
6) Heat the steam iron up for several minutes at
the highest setting.
7) Activate the steam blast button 5 several times
so that steam comes out of the sole of the iron 9.
8) Then iron over a piece of scrap fabric to remove any production residues that may remain
on the sole of the iron 9.
9) Press the
TEMP 2 button repeatedly until
the display 1 reads Standby in red letters.
10) Remove the power plug from the mains power
socket.
Automatic switch-off
This steam iron is fi tted with an automatic switch-off
system. This stops the steam iron from heating up.
When the steam iron is resting on its sole 9 and is
not moved for approx. 30 seconds, 6 warning beeps
will sound, "PAUSE" appears and the display 1
lights up red. The steam iron will stop heating up.
To deactivate the automatic switch-off , lift up the
steam iron and move it gently from side to side.
The display 1 lights up blue, the previously set
temperature level is shown and the steam iron
heats up again.
When the steam iron is resting on its base 7 and is
not moved for approx. 8 minutes, 6 warning beeps
will sound, "PAUSE" appears and the display 1
lights up red. The steam iron will stop heating up.
To deactivate the automatic switch-off , lift up the
steam iron and move it gently from side to side.
The display 1 lights up blue, the previously set
temperature level is shown and the steam iron
heats up again.
NOTE
The automatic switch-off is not intended as a
substitute for removing the plug from the mains
power!
It is merely designed to prevent the appliance
from overheating and helps to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
It does not provide fi re protection, however, e.g.
if you place and leave the hot steam iron on
fl ammable material.

GB│IE│NI│CY │ 21 ■
Filling the water tank
1) Place the steam iron on the base 7.
2) Open the cover of the fi ller opening for the
water tank q.
3) Using the measuring beaker w, fi ll the water
tank with water to the "MAX" marking, but no
further.
4) Close the cover of the fi ller opening for the
water tank q.
NOTE
If the mains water in your area is rated as hard,
it is recommended that you mix the mains water
with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for
the steam blast function could calcify (become
blocked) prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix
mains water with distilled water according to the
table.

There will be a beep and the display 1 will
read "Standby" in red letters.
CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE!
►
If the clothing care instructions forbid ironing
(
), the garment may not be ironed. Ignoring this warning could lead to permanent
damage to the clothing item.
2) Check the care instructions on the labels in
garments to see if they are suitable for ironing,
and at which temperature setting.
3) To switch on the iron, press the TEMP
button
3 repeatedly until the required temperature
level appears on the display 1 (see chapter
"Meaning of the display indicators"). Use the
TEMP 2 button to switch to a higher or
lower temperature level.
As soon as the indicator for the material type stops
fl ashing on the display 1 and a beep is heard,
the set temperature has been reached and you can
begin ironing.
NOTE
If you are ironing very dry and creased fabrics,
you can dampen the material using the spray
function. To dampen the material, press the button for the spray function 4.
Steam ironing
NOTE
The temperature level must be set at least to
level 8. Otherwise no steam will be produced.
■ Set the steam control 8 to the desired steam
setting.
– Turn the steam control 8 towards to
generate more steam.
– Turn the steam control 8 towards to
generate less steam.
SDB 2400 B2
GB│IE│NI│CY │ 23 ■
– Make sure you do not turn the steam control 8
further than the
setting. Otherwise, you
will activate the self-cleaning function (see
chapter "Self-cleaning function").
■ As soon as you hold the steam iron horizontally,
steam will come out of the sole of the iron 9.
■ If you set the steam regulator 8 to or hold
the steam iron vertically, no steam will come out
of the sole of the iron 9.
Ironing with steam blast
The steam blast function is especially suitable for
smoothing diffi cult-to-reach parts of a garment.
1) Raise the steam iron slightly.
2) Press the steam blast button 5 for a blast of
steam.
You can also use the steam blast function to smooth
hanging textiles.
Hold the iron vertically and press the
steam blast button 5.
Pausing operation of the steam iron
CAUTION – RISK OF FIRE!
Never leave a hot steam iron unattended if it is
switched on or connected to the mains power
supply.
1) To switch off the steam iron, press and hold the
TEMP
3 button or the TEMP 2 button
until you hear a beep and the display 1 reads
"Standby" in red letters.
Or:
2) Press the
TEMP 2 button repeatedly until
you hear a beep and the display 1 reads
"Standby" in red letters.
Switching the steam iron off
1) Remove the power plug from the mains power
socket.
2) Empty the water tank and clean the sole of the
iron 9.
3) Place the cooled-down steam iron on the base 7.
Anti-drip system
With conventional steam irons, water can drip
from the sole of the iron 9 if the set temperature
is too low. This steam iron, however, is equipped
with a special anti-drip system (
). At low
temperatures, the steam iron automatically switches
off the steam blast function. When this happens,
a "click" can be heard. Set a suitable temperature
level. As soon as this is reached, steam production
is resumed.
Cleaning
Self-cleaning function
1) Fill the water tank to the marking MAX.
2) Insert the plug into the mains power socket.
3) To switch on the iron and set the temperature,
press the TEMP
3 button repeatedly until
11/MAX appears on the display 1.
4) Turn the steam control 8 to "SELFCLEAN" and
keep it in this position. For safety reasons, the
steam control 8 does not snap into this position, as this would cause water to drip from the
sole of the iron 9 continuously.
5) Hold the steam iron horizontally over a suitable
container.

CY
As soon as a suitable temperature is reached,
steam and boiling water will exit the holes in the
sole of the iron 9. Any impurities that may be
present are fl ushed out.
6) When no more water/steam comes out of the
iron sole, set the steam control 8 to
. Iron
over a towel or old piece of cloth a few times
to dry the sole of the iron 9 thoroughly.
7) Press the TEMP 2 button repeatedly until
