Preconditioning nozzles Spray nozzle Water tank opening Precision Shot button Spray button Steam regulator Temperature selector Temperature pilot light «auto-off» light (only with TS 745 A model) Heel rest Textile Protector (only with TS 735 TP model) 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). Do not use condensation water from a tumble dryer.

• 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 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 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 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 (only with TS 745 A model) 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 flash 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 flashing, 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 (only with TS 735 TP model Before attaching the Textile Protector (10) for the first 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 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 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 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 x (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.
