Decalcifying / Self-cleaning
Braun ProGlide-jet irons have a built-in system
(anti-calc. valve) to prevent calcification. It allows
you to clean residues from the steam chamber.
Do not use commercial decalcifiers; they may
damage the sole plate. We recommend to use
the self-cleaning function every 3 months.
1. Turn the steam regulator

valve with your fingers,

8. Allow all water to drain through the steam
vents in the sole plate, while shaking the iron
slightly.
(Caution: Hot water and steam come out from
the sole plate.)
9. Wait for the sole plate to cool down and then
clean it (see «Maintenance and Cleaning»).
10. Make sure that the sole plate is completely dry
before storing it.
Cleaning the anti-calc. valve on the steam
regulator
During the time the sole plate is cooling down we
recommend to decalcify the anti-calc. valve in
the following way:
1. Put a small quantity of white vinegar (not
vinegar essence) or lemon juice into a glass or
bowl.
2. Immerse just the bot-
tom part of the valve in
the liquid, wait till it is
decalcified and care-
fully brush of remain-
ing residue (E) .
Do not use a metal
brush.
3. Then, rinse it under
running water without touching the lower end
of the valve.
Re-inserting the steam regulator with anti-calc.
valve
1. Re-insert the steam regulator so that the
double-arrow aligns with the marking on
the iron (F).
2. Then push it down carefully and at the same
time turn the button anti-clockwise.

to the marking «

(= steam off).

of steam, refill the tank
with water, heat the
iron up and press the
button

3 to 4 times in
the shot of steam
function before ironing, to rinse the iron.
ATTENTION: The iron must not be used without
the steam regulator and the anti-calc. valve.

Ironing Guide
To begin ironing, it is best to start with fabrics
requiring a lower temperature (e. g. synthetics),
and continue with those requiring a higher
temperature (e. g. cotton, linen).
Silk and silk-like synthetics tend to waterspot,
therefore before using the water spray feature,
test it on an inconspicuous spot first.
Mixed fabrics: Always select the temperature
suited for the most sensitive fibre the garment
contains. Follow manufacturer’s instructions on
the label.
Subject to chance without notice.
This product conforms to the
EMC-Requirements as laid down by
