Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality and
design. 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,
especially when using the «jet» function.
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 tem-
perature 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 Automatic shut-off
(Model 8595
only)
The auto-off mechanism causes a slight
rattling noise during ironing. This is normal
and in no case indicates a fault of the iron.
The «auto-off» pilot light will flash when
the automatic shut-off is activated.
This happens when the iron has rested …
– horizontally
on its sole plate for about
30 seconds or
– vertically
on its heel rest for about
15 minutes.
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.
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.
Notice:
While ironing, do not turn the
steam regulator beyond the red range.
For extra steam, power shot and «jet» of
steam, the temperature selector must
be set within the continuous red range.
These functions can even be activated
when dry ironing.

3 seconds, but not more often than 4
times per minute.

symbol and press.
Dry ironing

Prior to ironing, press the power
