We hope you enjoy your new Braun steam iron.
Notice: Remove the label, if any, from the sole
plate before first use.
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. Always pull the plug, not the cord.
The cord should never come in contact with
the hot objects or the 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.
•
Keep the iron away from children. Electric
irons combine high temperatures and hot
steam that could lead to burns.
•
Never iron or dampen clothes while wearing
them.
•
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 many cause
accidents or injury to the user.
•
Braun electric appliances meet applicable
safety standards.

B Before starting off
• This iron is designed for tap water. If you have
extremely hard water, we recommend to use
a mixtur 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 tempera-
ture according to the ironing guide on the
heel rest of the iron or on the label in your
garments.
• The pilot light goes off when the desired
temperature is reached (after approx.
1
ó
min.).
D After ironing
Unplug the iron. To prolong the life of the
iron, empty the water tank. Store the cool
iron in a dry place always standing on its heel
rest.
E Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other
chemicals.
F Cleaning the anticalc valve
The anticalc valve on the steam regulator
has to be decalcified regularly (e.g. when-
ever steam development is insufficient).
For this, the water tank has to be empty.
C Ironing
Vario steam
You can increase and reduce the quantity
of steam by turning the steam regulator.
The steam regulator and the temperature
selector have to be set within the red
range.
Notice: While ironing, do not turn the
steam regulator beyond the red range.
For power shot and vario plus steam, the
temperature selector must be set within the
continuous red range.
These functions can even be activated
when dry ironing.
We recommend a medium steam setting
for all normal ironing. Only when ironing
linen, thick cotton or similar fabrics we
recommend the maximum steam setting.

Press the steam plus button (6) for max.
3 seconds, but not more often than 4 times
per minute.
Power shot
Press the power shot button (3) in intervals
of at least 5 seconds.
Spray function
Press the spray button (4).
Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (5) on position «0»
(= steam off).
Notice: Prior to ironing, press the power
shot button 3 to 4 times to activate them.
This function can be used for steaming
hanging clothes.
