B  Before starting off

This iron is designed for tap water. If you 

have extremely hard water, we recom-

mend that you 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). Do not use 

condensation water from a tumble dryer.

• Before 

fi

 lling with water, turn off the steam 

regulator («0» = steam off). 

•  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 

decalci

fi

 ed regularly (e.g. whenever steam 

development is insuf

fi

 cient). For this, the 

water tank has to be empty.

anticalc valve
