Silvercrest SDRB 1000 A1 - Manual (Page 9)

- 7 -
• Fill the water tank 1 with water (see chapter "Fil-
ling with water").
• Insert the power plug 7 into a correctly installed
and earthed mains power socket.
• Hold the steam brush horizontally.
• Place the temperature regulator 3 at the position
"MAX".
• Heat the steam brush up at the highest setting for
a few minutes. By doing this you will clear produc-
tion residues from the sole 0 of the appliance.
• Activate the steam shot button 8 a few times, so
that steam exits from the soleplate 0.
• Then iron a redundant piece of material, this will
remove any impurites that may possibly be on
the sole of the iron 0.
Note:
On the first heating up of the appliance a small volume
of smoke and smell may be generated, caused by
production residues. This is completely normal and
is not dangerous. Provide for sufficient ventilation,
for example, open a window.
Operation
Note:
• Should the care instructions in the clothing item
forbid ironing (Symbol ), you may not use
the steam brush on it. If you do so, the clothing
item could be permanently damaged.
• Do NOT use the appliance on leather, velvet, im-
pregnated furniture or steam sensitive materials.
If you do, the material/furniture could become
damaged.
Filling with water
Attention!
Fill the watertank 1 exclusively with tap water or distil-
led water mixed with tap water. Never fill watertank 1
with chemical substances, cleaning agents (with the ex-
ception of decalcification agents) or other liquids.
Do not use chemically distilled water. This would
irreparably damage the appliance.
Should the mains water at your locality be rated as
hard, it is recommended that you mix 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.
The water hardness level can be queried at your
local water works.
Attention!
Before refilling with water, ALWAYS remove the
plug 7 from the mains power socket! There is a
risk of electric shock!
• Lift the water tank 1 up vertically, in that you slide
the release 4 for the water tank 1 to the rear until
the water tank 1 allows itself to be lifted off. Grasp
the water tank 1 with your thumb and index finger
on the hatched markings to lift it vertically upwards.
The temperature controller 3 remains on the appli-
ance and is not lifted off.
• Open the water fill opening 2 to the water tank 1.
• Using the measuring beaker t, fill the water
tank 1 with mains water to the "Max" marking,
but no further.
