0 Heat the appliance and place it with
the soleplate facing downwards on an
iron rest or plate (Figure 5) to allow the
water to steam through and activate
the steam chamber.
You will obtain optimal steaming
3
results and the noise produced by the
steaming will be steadier after the
water reservoir has been filled and
drained three times.
Ironing with Steam
To steam iron, set the temperature sel-
ector (Figure 1/N) to the required
fabric type and wait until the power
indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out - only
then set the steam selector(Figure 1/F)
to position "1", "2", „3" or "4" (Figure
4/B). You will find which temperature
setting (fabric type) matches which
steam setting in the ironing table. As
soon as the steam iron is held horizon-
tally steam begins to form. When the
steam iron is set upright again the
steam supply stops automatically.
Spray Function (Figure 6/A)
The first time you use the appliance,
or if you have not used it for a long
time, you will need to press the spray
function button (Figure 1/G) several
times before water comes out of the
spray nozzle (Figure 1/D). You can also
use the spray function when dry iron-
ing.
Super Steam Jet Function
(Figure 6/B)
The super steam jet function is of
valuable assistance when ironing, for
example, creases, embroidery etc. You
can trigger the additional steam jet
both when steam ironing and when dry
ironing.
0 Set the temperature selector
(Figure 1/N) to the "max." position and
wait until the correct temperature has
been reached, i.e., until the power indi-
cator (Figure 1/J) goes out.
0 Raise the steam iron a little away from
the material and press the steam jet
button (Figure 1/H).
Always wait another 5 seconds before
pressing the steam jet button again.
Steaming hanging items of
clothing
0 Turn the temperature selector
(Figure 1/N) to the "max." position
and wait until the power indicator
(Figure 1/J) goes out.
0 Hang the article concerned on a han-
ger and hold the steam iron at
a distance of 10 – 20 cm from the
material.
0 Now press the steam jet button
(Figure 1/H). Wait at least 5 seconds
before pressing the button again.

1
up clothing whilst it is still being worn.
Risk of burning!
Drip Stop
(not available with DB 5020)
The steam iron DB 5040 has an auto-
matic drip stop function. The drip stop
immediately interrupts the creation of
steam if the temperature selected is
too low.
Storage

Set the temperature selector
(Figure 1/N) to the "Cold" position
(Figure 2/a) and the steam selector
(Figure 1/F) to position "0" (Figure 4/A).
Empty out remaining water (Figure 7).
Store the appliance standing upright.
To store properly wrap the mains cord
around the cord storage (Figures 1/M
