Frequently Asked Questions - ProStyle SI 17780 BRAUN

How to use the vertical steam function?

Fill the tank, select the temperature suitable for the fabric, then hang the garment. Press the steam button while holding the iron vertically to remove wrinkles without direct contact.

How to clean the Braun ProStyle SI 17780 iron?

Use the built-in anti-scale function: fill the water tank, set the temperature to maximum, then press the cleaning button until steam and residues come out. Then rinse with clean water.

What to do if the iron does not heat up?

Check the electrical outlet and the cord. Make sure the thermostat is not at the minimum position. If the problem persists, contact Braun customer service.

How to adjust the temperature for different fabrics?

Use the temperature dial: wool (●), cotton (●●), linen (●●●). For delicate fabrics like silk, use the lowest setting. Wait for the indicator light to go out before ironing.

The iron is dripping, what to do?

Make sure the temperature is high enough to produce steam. If the problem persists, activate the anti-drip function. Also check that the tank is not overfilled.

How to descale the iron?

Use the anti-scale system: mix one part white vinegar with two parts water, pour into the tank, then activate the descaling cycle. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Can I use tap water?

Yes, tap water is suitable. However, if your water is very hard, mix it with demineralized water to reduce deposits. Never use perfumed water or water containing additives.

How to activate automatic shut-off?

Automatic shut-off is activated by default. It cuts the heating after 30 seconds in horizontal position or 8 minutes in vertical position on the heel. A sound signal may sound when it turns off.

Important Safeguards

• Before using the iron, read the use instructions completely. Keep the use instructions during the entire life of the appliance.
• This appliance is designed for household use only.
• Make sure your voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the iron. Always unplug the iron before filling with water. Always pull the plug, not the cord.
• The cord should never come in contact with hot objects or the sole plate.
• Never immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
• During ironing pauses, always place the iron upright on its heel rest and ensure that the heel rest is placed on a stable surface.
• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the mains supply.
• Keep the iron away from children, especially when using the Precision Shot function. Electric irons combine high temperatures and hot steam that could lead to burns.
• Never iron or dampen clothes while wearing them.
• The iron is not to be used if it has dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking. Regularly check the cord for 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. 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 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).

• Before filling with water, turn off the steam regulator («0» = steam off).
• Holding the iron slightly inclined (as shown in B), fill 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 (7) has 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 setting «6».

Vario plus steam

For extra steam, press the steam regulator (6) for max. 30 seconds.

The temperature selector (7) has to be set within the solid red range.

Precision Shot

Prior to use, press the Precision Shot button (4) 3 to 4 times to activate it. Press the Precision Shot button in intervals 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 to be within the solid red range.

Caution: Hot steam comes out from the preconditioning nozzles.

Spray function

Press the spray button (5).

Dry ironing

Set the steam regulator (6) to position «0» (= steam off).

D Textile Protector

(SI 17780 model only)

Before attaching the Textile Protector (10) 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.

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 Protector, you are able to iron delicate fabrics with the temperature setting within the solid red range 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 decalcified regularly (e.g. whenever 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 towards the steam setting «6». Keep on turning firmly beyond the resistance until the steam regulator is lifted. When positioned at ●, 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 a minimum of 30 minutes. Brush off remaining residues and rinse under running water (fig. G, 1-7).

Re-inserting the steam regulator

When re-inserting the steam regulator, make sure the steam regulator base still points on setting ● (fig. G 8). Firmly push down the steam regulator until it turns back to setting «6» (fig. G) where it catches.

Notice: The iron must never be used without steam regulator.

H Decalcifying/anticalc system

In order to clean the steam chamber from residues, decalcify it as shown in picture section H, 1-8.

Caution: Hot water and steam will come out from the sole plate when the steam regulator is turned clockwise beyond setting «6».

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 precision shot button 4 times to rinse the iron before ironing (fig. H, 9-13).

Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they may damage the iron.
