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 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 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.

???Never pull out the steam button (3) during ironing.

???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.

???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.

???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

1Steam 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.

With the steam button in its upper position, turn the steam regulator (3a) to adjust the steam quantity.

Preconditioning

Steam develops also horizontally at the front area of the sole plate. This pre- conditions the textiles by ??pre-steaming??, thus making ironing easier.

Be careful ??? steam comes out laterally.

(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.

E Maintenance and cleaning

To clean the sole plate, use steel wool. Then wipe the sole plate clean with a cloth. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar nor other chemicals. To clean the soft material of handle and power shot and spray buttons, use soapy water.

F Cleaning the anticalc valve

The iron???s anticalc valve is located at the lower end of the steam button (3). It has to be decalcified regularly (e.g. when the steam development is insufficient).

6)Use a non-metallic brush until all openings are clean.

7)Rinse under running water.

8)Re-insert the steam button.

9)Press to check the steam on/off function.

Note: the iron must never be used without the steam button.
