Important safeguards
Before using the iron, read the use instruc-
•
tions completely. Keep the use instructions
during the entire life of the iron.
Make sure your voltage corresponds to the
•
voltage printed on the iron. Connect the
iron to alternating current only.
Always unplug the iron before filling with
•
water and make sure the steam button is
in its lower position (steam off). Always pull
the plug, not the cord. The cord should
never come in contact with hot objects or
with the hot sole plate.
Never immerse the iron in water or other
•
liquids.
During ironing pauses, always place the
•
iron upright on its heel rest. Unplug it when
leaving the room, even if only for a short
time.
Never pull out the steam button (3) during
•
ironing.
Keep the iron away from children.
•
Electric irons combine high temperatures
and hot steam that could lead to burns.
Check the cord regularly for possible
•
damage.
If the appliance (including cord) shows any
•
defect, stop using it and take it to a Braun
Service Centre for repair.
Faulty or unqualified repair work may
•
cause accidents or injury to the user.

B Before starting off
This iron is designed for tap water. If you
•
have extremely hard water, we recommend
to use a mixture of 50% tap water and
50% distilled water. Fill the water tank to
«max» marking. Never use distilled water
exclusively. Do not add any additives
(e.g. starch).
Keep the iron in the upright position and
•
connect it to the mains. Select the tem-
perature according to the ironing guide on
the heel rest of the iron or on the label in
your garments.
The temperature pilot light (7) goes off,
•
when the desired temperature is reached
(after approx. 1 minute).
C Ironing
1 Steam on/off
For steam ironing, the temperature selector
(6) must be set within the red range.

Steam on
With the steam button in its upper position,
turn the steam regulator (3a) to adjust the
steam quantity.

Prior to use, press the power shot button
(5) 3 to 4 times to activate it. Press the

E Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Then wipe the sole plate clean with a cloth.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar nor
other chemicals.
F Cleaning the anticalc valve
The iron's anticalc valve is located at the
lower end of the steam button (3). It has
to be decalcified regularly (e.g. when the
steam development is insufficient).
Proceed as follows:
1) Unplug the iron and empty the water tank.
2) Press the steam button so it is lifted.
3) Remove carefully (some water may now
leak from the sole plate).

Steam off
4) Do not touch the anit-calc valve.
5) Immerse in vinegar (not vinegar essence)
or lemon juice until the lime becomes soft.
6) Use a non-metallic brush until all openings
are clean.
7) Rinse under running water.
8) Re-insert the steam button.
9) Press to check the steam on/off function.
Note: the iron must never be used without
the steam button.
G Decalcifying / anticalc system
When scale particles come out of the
steam vents or when the steam
development is insufficient even after
cleaning the anticalc valve, you should
clean the steam chamber as follows:
1) Make sure the steam button is in its lower
position.
2) – 3) Fill water into the tank, connect to the
mains and select the «•••» temperature
setting.
4) – 5) Wait until the pilot light turns off.
Unplug the iron.
6) – 7) Hold the iron over a sink, then press the
steam button so it is lifted, carefully pull it
up, turn it and rest it in this position.
Caution: When the steam button is pulled
up, hot water and steam will come out from
the sole plate.
8) Push back the steam button until it catches
in the lower position.
9) – 10) Fill water into the tank, connect to the
mains and select the «•••» temperature
setting.
11) – 13) When the pilot light goes off, press
the power shot button 4 times to rinse the
iron. Disconnect the iron and wait for the
