► Do not clean the appliance with solvents, alcohol or abrasive

cleaning agents. They could damage it.

► The water tank should be ﬁlled only with tap water or distilled

water. Otherwise, you will damage the steam iron.

Important cord information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, there is only one way this plug is intended

to ﬁt into a polarized outlet. If the plug does not completely ﬁt into the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not

attempt to modify the plug in any way.

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided

to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a

longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available

and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or

extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of

the appliance;

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should

be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over

the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or

tripped over.

Before ﬁrst use

As every steam brush is tested for functionality after manufacture,

it is possible that droplets of water remain in the water tank 1.

♦ Fill the water tank 1 with water (see section on "Filling the

appliance with water").

♦ Insert the plug 7 into a properly installed and grounded wall

socket.

♦ Hold the steam brush horizontally.

♦ Set the temperature control 3 to "MAX".

♦ Heat the steam brush up for several minutes at the highest

setting. This will loosen production residue from the ironing

sole 0.

♦ Activate the steam burst button 8 several times so that steam

comes out of the ironing sole 0.

♦ Then iron over a piece of scrap fabric to remove any produc-

tion residues that may remain on the ironing sole 0.

The ﬁrst time the appliance heats up, a small amount of smoke

and odor may result from production-related residues. This is

normal and completely harmless. Ensure suﬃcient ventilation, for

example, by opening a window.

SDRB 800 A1

■ 10 │ US-EN

Operation

If the clothing care instructions forbid ironing ( symbol), the

clothing item must not be treated with the steam brush. Ignoring

this warning could lead to permanent damage to the clothing

item.

Do not treat leather, velvet, waterproofed furniture or fabrics that

are sensitive to steam. Otherwise, you might cause damage to

the fabric or piece of furniture.

Filling the appliance with water

Only ﬁll the water tank 1 with

tap water or a mixture of tap and distilled water. Never ﬁll the

water tank 1 with chemical substances, cleaning agents (except

descaling agent) or other liquids. Do not use chemically softened

water. This could cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

If the tap water in your area is rated as hard, it is recommended

that you mix the tap water with some distilled water. Otherwise,

the jets for the steam blast function could calcify (become blocked

with limescale) prematurely.

To enhance optimal steam blast function, mix tap water with

distilled water according to the following table:

Water hardness Proportion of

distilled water

to tap water

very soft/soft 0

medium 1:1

hard 2:1

very hard 3:1

You can ask about your water hardness level at your local water

works.

SDRB 800 A1 US-EN │ 11 ■

Always remove the plug 7

from the power socket before ﬁlling the appliance!

There is a risk of electric shock!

♦ Remove the water tank 1 by sliding back the release 4 of the

water tank 1 until you can lift the water tank 1 up. Grab the

water tank 1 by the protruding grip aids with your thumb and

index ﬁnger and lift it up vertically. The temperature control 3

stays on the appliance and is not removed along with the

water tank.

♦ Open the ﬁller opening 2 in the water tank 1.

♦ Use the measuring cup t to ﬁll the water tank 1 with water

to the "Max" marking.

♦ Close the ﬁller opening 2 of the water tank 1. Ensure that

the collar in the ﬁller opening 2 locks into the notch on the

lid. This means that the water tank 1 is properly closed.

♦ Place the water tank 1 back onto the appliance. The water

tank 1 must audibly click into the release of the water tank 4.

Attaching/removing the brush extension

Never remove or attach the

brush extension w while the appliance is hot. Risk of burns!

To use the steam and brush functions, please attach the brush

extension w to the steam brush.

Steam brush function

♦ Attach the brush extension w to the appliance. It must audibly

click into the release of the brush extension q.

♦ Insert the plug 7 into a properly installed and grounded wall

socket.

♦ To produce steam, set the temperature control 3 to ••• or

higher. The heat-up indicator light 5 lights up. As soon as the

selected temperature has been reached, the heat-up indicator

light 5 turns oﬀ.

To use the steam burst function, set the temperature control 3 to

••• or higher.

with any piece of clothing. Be careful when treating heat-sensi-

tive fabric such as synthetics, polyamide or artiﬁcial silk. Before

treating such materials, ﬁrst process a small test patch in a less

visible spot (inside of the seam) to ensure that the hot steam does

not damage the material. Do not apply the hot ironing sole 0 to

these materials directly. Only use the steam burst function.

SDRB 800 A1 US-EN │ 13 ■

Use on clothing

♦ Hang the wrinkled piece of clothing onto a coat hanger.

♦ Gently stretch the item with one hand and hold it, then apply

steam from top to bottom. Combine steam with the clothes

brush r for gentle removal of all wrinkles.

♦ Gently apply pressure with the clothes brush r and move the

appliance over the piece of clothing from top to bottom. You

can press the steam burst button 8 at brief intervals.

Only repeat pressing the steam burst button 8 until the heat-up
