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.
• Caution: Due to the high power of this
steam iron please make sure that your
mains supply is sufficient. Please contact
your local electric power company to
make sure that the so called mains
impedance is not higher than 0.32 Ohm.
•
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 pull out the steam button (3) during
ironing.
• The iron must be used and rested on a
stable surface.
• During ironing pauses, always place the
iron upright on its heel rest and ensure
that the heel rest is placed on a stable
surface.
•
Never immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
•
Unplug it when leaving the room, even if
only for a short time.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
children or persons with reduced physical
or mental capabilities, unless they are
given supervision by a person responsible
for their safety.
•
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.
• The iron is not to be used if it has dropped,
if there are visible signs of damage or if it
is leaking. Regularly check the cord for
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. Braun
electric appliances meet applicable safety
standards.

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.
Press the steam button (3) to start the
steam mode.
steam on steam off
With the steam button in its upper position
(steam on), turn
the steam regulator (3a) to
adjust the steam quantity.
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.
Preconditioning
Steam develops also horizontally at the
front area of the sole plate. This precondi-
tions the textiles by «pre-steaming», thus
making ironing easier.
Be careful – steam comes out laterally.
2 Power shot
Prior to use, press the power shot button
(5) 3 to 4 times to activate it. Press the
power shot button in intervals of at least
5 seconds.
Power shot can be activated when dry
ironing. However, the temperature selector
has to be set in the range between «•••»
and «
max
». The power shot function can
also be used in the vertical position for
steaming hanging clothes.
3 Spray function
Press the spray button (4).
