The safety auto-off feature
(not available with DB 7510)
For total safety and peace of mind, the
steam iron will automatically switch
itself off if left unattended (DB 7520,
DB 7530, DB 7540).
It will switch off if left in the ironing
position for 30 seconds (see Fig. 2/a). It
will also switch off if left unattended
in the upright position for 15 minutes
(see Fig. 2/b). The steam iron will also
switch off if it is knocked onto its side
for 30 seconds (see Fig. 2/c).
Should you leave the steam iron unat-
tended, the red safety auto-off light
(Fig. 1/K, positioned on top of the han-
dle) will flash and a warning beep will
sound to alert you that the auto-off
function has been activated.
Power to the steam iron's heating ele-
ment will be cut and the steam iron
will start to cool.
After the iron has cut-out, the power
3
ON light will remain illuminated, as the
steam iron is still connected to the
power outlet.
0 To reset the safety auto-off feature, sim-
ply move the steam iron.
The power to the steam iron's element
will then reconnect and it will begin
heating again. Wait until the temperature
control light goes out before recommenc-
ing ironing.

Care and Cleaning

After each use

rest (see Fig. 3).

soleplate facing down, or in the carton.
Cleaning

cleaners or solvents, as these will dam-
age the surface.
Cleaning the removable steam
valve

pops up (see Fig. 4).

steel wool soap pad moistened in warm
water.

clockwise to lock into position.
Cleaning the steam holes

holes that may affect your iron's steam
performance, use a cotton wool tip
moistened in methylated spirits.
Cleaning the soleplate

harsh cleaners to clean your soleplate,
as these will scratch and damage the
surface.

plate, iron over a damp cloth while the
steam iron is hot.
