Safety information
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► The voltage of the power source must conform to the details given
on the type plate of the appliance.
► To avoid potential risks, arrange for a defective appliance to be
checked and, if required, repaired by qualified technicians, or
contact our Customer Service Department.
► Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced
as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer
Service Department to avoid the risk of injury.
► When disconnecting the appliance from the power source, pull
only on the plug itself, never on the 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.
► Remove the plug from the mains power socket after every usage,
before cleaning the appliance and when refilling the appliance
with water.
► Always unwind 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 immerse 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 mains power socket immediately and have it
repaired by a qualified technician.
► Do not open the steam iron housing. Have a defective steam iron
repaired only by an authorised technician.

SDBS 2800 A1 GB│IE │ 15 ■

 RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► Do not use the appliance if it shows visible signs of damage, has
fallen or leaks water. Arrange for it to be repaired by qualified
specialists.
► Stop using the appliance if the anti-kink protection on the power
cable is damaged!
► This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years or more
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa-
bilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are super-
vised, or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance
and have understood the potential risks. Do not allow children to
use the appliance as a plaything. Cleaning and user maintenance
may not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.
RISK OF BURNS!
► Hold the steam iron only by the handle when it is hot.
► Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
► Never place your hands in the steam spray or on hot metal parts.
► Do not open the filler opening for the water tank while the iron
is in use. Allow the steam iron to cool down first and remove the
plug from the power socket.
► The iron and its connecting cable must be kept out of the reach
of children under the age of 8 while the iron is switched on or
cooling down.

Caution! Hot surface!

■ 16 │ GB│IE SDBS 2800 A1

 RISK OF INJURY! RISK OF FIRE!
► Never leave a hot steam iron unattended if it is switched on or
connected to the mains power supply.
► Do not put the steam iron away until it has cooled down com-
pletely.
► The steam iron should only be used and set down on stable
surfaces.
► Use only the ironing temperatures stated in the care instructions
as suitable for the material. Otherwise, you could damage the
textiles. If you do not know the correct care instructions, start with
the lowest temperature setting.
► Place the iron only on a level and heat-resistant surface. The iron
must be stable.
► When you put the steam iron down, always place it on its base.
CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► If the clothing care instructions forbid ironing, ( symbol), the
clothing item may not be ironed. Ignoring this warning could lead
to permanent damage to the clothing item.
► The water tank should be filled only with tap water or distilled
water. Otherwise you will damage the steam iron.
► Do not clean the steam iron with solvents, alcohol or abrasive
cleaning agents. These could damage it.
