E Textile Protector
(Model 8595/8590 only)
Before attaching the Textile Protector
for the first time, iron approximately
2 minutes without the Textile Protector.
The Braun Textile Protector protects
delicate fabrics from heat damage and
makes it possible to iron most dark fabrics
without an intermediate cloth. To check
the reaction of your fabrics before you
start ironing, we recommend that you iron
a small section of material on the reverse
side. With the Protector, you are able to
iron delicate fabrics with the temperature
setting «
•••
» or «
max
», so that you can
use all steam functions your iron offers.
After having attached the Textile Protec-
tor, wait about 1
1
/

minutes before you
start ironing. Always store your iron with
the Textile Protector detached.
F 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.
G Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other
chemicals.
H 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
.
Removing the steam regulator with the
anticalc valve
Turn the steam regulator clockwise to the
double arrow at the end of the anticalc
section and it will lift. Pull it out vertically.
Do not touch the anticalc valve at its lower
end. Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar
(not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for
minimum 30 minutes. Brush off remaining
residues and rinse under running water
(fig. H 1-5).
Re-inserting the steam regulator
To re-insert the steam regulator follow fig.
6 and 7.
Notice:
The iron must not be used without
the steam regulator.
I Decalcifying/anticalc system
In order to clean the steam chamber from
residues, decalcify it as shown in fig.
I 1-11.
Caution:
Hot water and steam will come
out from the sole plate when the steam
regulator is turned clockwise into the
anticalc area.
Wait for the sole plate to cool down, then
clean it as described above.
Then refill the tank with water, heat up
the iron and press the power shot button
4 times to rinse the iron before ironing
(I 12-13).
Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they
may damage the iron.
