• Holding the iron slightly inclined (as
shown in B), fi ll the water tank up to the
«max» marking.
• Place the iron upright on its heel rest and
connect it to the mains.
Select the temperature according to the
ironing guide on the heel rest of the iron or
on the label in your garments.
The pilot light (8) goes off when the
desired temperature is reached (after
approx. 1 1/2 min.).
C Ironing
Vario steam
You can select the steam quantity by
turning the steam regulator (6) in a range
from «0» to «6».
The temperature selector has a minimum
temperature level 2 (••).
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 setting «6».
Vario plus steam
For extra steam, press the steam regulator
(6) for max. 30 seconds.
The temperature selector has a minimum
temperature level 3 (•••).
Precision Shot
Prior to use, press the Precision Shot
button (4) 3 to 4 times to activate it.
Press the Precision Shot button in inter-
vals of at least 5 seconds for a powerful
steam shot with preconditioning steam.
Precision Shot can be activated when dry
ironing. However, the temperature selector
has a minimum temperature level 3 (•••).
The Precision Shot function can also be
used in the vertical position for steaming
hanging clothes.
Caution: Hot steam comes out from the
preconditioning nozzles.
Spray function
Press the spray button (5).
Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (6) on position «0»
(= steam off).
Automatic shut-off
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 red «auto-off» light (9) will fl ash 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
8 minutes.
To turn on the iron again, just move it.
When the «auto-off» pilot light stops
fl ashing, the electrical power is on again.
The automatic shut-off will be activated
approximately 2 minutes after the iron is
plugged into a socket.
D Textile Protector
Before attaching the Textile Protector (10)
for the fi rst time, iron approximately
2 minutes without 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.
A special coating avoids shiny patches.
However, in order not to damage the
coating, avoid ironing over e.g. zippers,
metal buttons/rivets or strass with the
Textile Protector attached.
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 Textile Protector
, you are able to iron delicate fabrics with
the temperature setting (•••) to «max», so
that you can use all steam functions your
iron offers.
After having attached the Textile Protector,
wait about 1 1/2 minutes before you start
ironing. Always store your iron with the
Textile Protector detached.
E After ironing
Unplug the iron and turn the steam
regulator to position «0». 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.
F Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or
other chemicals.
G Cleaning the anticalc valve
The anticalc valve located on the lower
end of the steam regulator has to be
decalcifi ed regularly (e.g. whenever steam
development is insuffi cient). For this, the
water tank has to be empty.
Removing the steam regulator with the
anticalc valve
Turn the steam regulator clockwise
towards the steam setting «6». Keep
on turning fi rmly beyond the resistance
until the steam regulator is lifted. When
positioned at x, 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
