DLB253492_5712710611_SI9_UI_INT.indb 7 21.12.16 10:09English Before use Please read instructions carefully and completely before using the appliance. Caution

Caution: Hot surfaces! Electric Irons combine high temperatures and hot steam that could lead to burns.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children shall not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

During operation and cool-down the appliance and its mains cord shall be kept out of reach of children under 8 years.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu- facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Always unplug the station/iron before filling with water.

The appliance must be used and rested on a stable surface.

During ironing pauses, place the iron upright on its heel rest or on the iron rest. Ensure that the heel rest is placed on a stable surface.

The iron must not be left unat- tended while it is connected to the supply mains.

The appliance must not to be used if it has dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking. Regularly check the cords for damages.

Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids.

This appliance is designed for household use only and for processing normal household quantities.

The cords should never come in contact with hot objects, the soleplate, water and sharp edges.

Before plugging into a socket, check whether your voltage corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance and that you are using an earthed socket.

When using an extension cord watch out that it is in good condition, has a plug with an earth connection and corre- sponds with the power rating of the appliance (16A).

The soleplate and the iron rest can reach very high tempera- tures that could lead to burns. Do not touch them.

Caution: Due to the high power of this steam iron please make sure that your mains supply is sufficient. Please contact your local electric power company to make sure that the so called mains impedance is not higher than 0.198 Ohm.

• Make sure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged.

• Fill the water tank with tap water by holding the iron slightly inclined, taking care not to exceed the “max” level. If you have extremely hard water, we recom- mend that you use a mixture of 50 % tap water and 50 % distilled water.

• Attention: Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use condensation water from a tumble dryer. Ironing with steam

• Place the iron on its heel rest (9) and plug in.

• The iron will start to heat up and the temperature control LED (7) on the iron will blink.

• Once the temperature has been reached, the temperature control LED turns permanently on. Thanks to the ultimate iCare technology, it is possible to iron with one temperature setting, which is perfectly suitable for all garments, without damaging even delicate garments. Steam options:

• Continuous steam (normal) Select the steam quantity by turning the steam regulator (4) in a range from «1» to «6». We recommend a medium steam setting for regular ironing. Only when ironing tough fabrics like linen, thick cotton or jeans it is recommended to use the maximum steam setting. Note: While ironing, do not turn the steam regulator beyond setting «6».

• Continuous steam (turbo) When the steam regulator is positioned anywhere between «0» and «6» it is possible to activate the turbo function by pressing the turbo steam button (5) in order to emit the highest steam output and remove stubborn creases. Press the turbo steam button for not more than 30 seconds.

• Steam shot Prior to use, press the steam shot trigger (6) 3 to 4 times to activate it.

• For a powerful boost of steam, press the steam shot trigger at intervals of a few seconds.

• It is possible to use the steam shot function by holding the iron in a vertical position and pulling the steam shot trigger. This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc. Spray function The spray function (3) produces a fine mist that evenly moistens the fabric and makes it easier to iron out creases on very tough textiles. Dry ironing Set the steam regulator (4) on position «0» (= steam off). 3D soleplate The unique round shape of the 3D soleplate ensures best gliding results on difficult parts (e. g. buttons, pockets etc.) and in all directions – even backwards. (B) Auto off For safety and reduced power consumption, the auto-off function is automatically activated when the iron is positioned horizontally on its soleplate for about 1 minute or vertically on its heel rest for about 8 minutes.

• When the iron is in the auto-off mode the temperature control LED (7) is blinking.

• To turn the iron on again, just move it forward.

• Before start ironing again wait until the temperature control LED is turned on. (C) After ironing

• Unplug the iron and empty the water tank.

• Let the iron cool down before storing. (D) Descaling Preparation

1. Set the steam regulator (4) on position

2. Fill the water tank.

4. Wait until the temperature control LED

(7) turns permanently on and unplug the iron. Hold the iron over the sink.

5. Turn the steam regulator clockwise

beyond steam stetting «6». When you hear a click pull it out vertically until the end of the spring appears. It must not be removed completely. Self clean

6. Move the appliance over the sink. Hot

water and steam will come out from the soleplate along with the calc particles from the steam chamber. Repeat 1.-6.

DLB253492_5712710611_SI9_UI_INT.indb 9 21.12.16 10:09Rinsing the valve To maintain optimum performance, the valve located on the lower end of the turbo steam button has to be rinsed regularly (whenever steam development is insuffi- cient).

7. Immerse the lower end of the valve in

vinegar (not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for a minimum of 30 minutes.

8. Brush off remaining residues and rinse

under running water. Reset

9. Re-insert the steam regulator, firmly

push it down and turn it back to steam setting «6».

12. Wait until the temperature control LED

turns permanently on. Note: The iron must never be used without steam regulator. Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they may damage the iron. Note: Frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of the water, quantity of steam used and frequency and duration of ironing sessions. It is a good practice to run the descaling procedure at least once per month. (E) Soleplate cleaning

• Before cleaning, always make sure that the iron is switched off, unplugged and has cooled down completely.

• To clean Saphir soleplate use steel wool. To clean Eloxal soleplate it is suggested to use a damp cloth. The name of the soleplate is printed on the gift box and on the soleplate itself.

• Never use chemicals, vinegar or scouring pads (eg. sponges with coarse nylon fabrics etc).

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

Water droplets drip on the fabric during ironing. The water tank lid is not properly closed. Press the water tank lid and check if it is closed. Chemicals have been put into the water tank. Never put chemicals or perfumes into the water tank. Empty the water tank, rinse it 2-3 times. The steam trigger is overused. Wait at least a few seconds between each use. Water droplets drip from the soleplate after the iron has been unplugged or has been stored. The steam regulator is set beyond “0” level. Set the steam regulator to “0”. You have put the iron in horizontal position with water inside the tank. Empty the water tank after ironing and place the iron vertically on a stable surface during the cooling down. The iron produces little or no steam. The water tank is empty. Refill the water tank. The valve has collected too much scale. Clean the valve. The iron is not hot enough to produce steam. Wait until the iron heats up and the temperature control LED is permanently on. Flakes and white impurities come out during ironing. The iron has limescale formations inside the steam chamber. Run the descaling procedure (clean the steam chamber and the valve). The spray function or the steam shot do not work properly. The water tank is empty. Refill the water tank. The LED turns permanently on. There is a problem with tempera

ture probe. Unplug and plug in again. If the problem does not disappear contact the Braun customer service.
