Intended use
The appliance must be used only for ironing garments which are suitable for ironing according to the care label. In addition the appliance can be used for refreshing. Never iron or dampen garments while wearing them.
Before fi rst use
Take the unit out of the carton. Remove all pieces of the packing. Remove any possibly extant labels on the unit (do not remove the rating plate).
When steam is ready for the first time we recommend to iron for a few minutes over a rag to avoid manufacturing residues can dirty your garments.
(A) Filling the water tank
- Make sure that the appliance is switched off and the system is unplugged.
- Remove the water tank (6).
-
Fill the water tank with tap water, taking care not to exceed the “max” level but at least up to the mark “min” otherwise the appliance will not be ready to start steam ironing. If you have extremely hard water, we recommend that you use a mixture of 50 % tap water and 50 % distilled water.
-
Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use condensation water from a tumble dryer.
- Insert the water tank.
- Place the appliance on a stable, level surface.
Note: If you use fi ltering devices or in-house permanent descaler, make absolutely sure the water obtained is neutral ph.
Water reserve function
- When the water level is becoming low, the icon
starts flashing. At this stage it is possible to continue steam ironing for about 10-15 minutes.
- When the icon turns permanently on, it becomes necessary to refi ll the tank. At the same time, the temperature control LED (11) is fl ashing and the icon related to the selected setting (4) turns off.
- To continue steam ironing, refi ll the water tank (A).
(B) Start into operation
Before start ironing follow the garment care label instructions carefully. Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable.
- Place the iron on the iron rest (5) or on its heel rest (15), unwind completely the cord, plug in the appliance and press the On/ Off button (2).
- Select the setting (4) most suitable for the garments to be ironed.
- The requested setting can be chosen by pressing the corresponding button (eco, iCare or turbo). To switch from one setting to another press the dedicated button.
- The iron will start to heat up and the temperature control LED (11) on the iron will flash. Once the temperature is reached, the temperature control LED is permanently on.

For best results
Before start ironing follow the garment care label instructions carefully.
• Always iron black and dark garments inside out to avoid getting a sheen on the fabrics from the iron.
- When ironing a shirt, start with the more difficult parts like collar, cuff links and sleeves. Then iron the bigger parts like front and back, so you can prevent wrinkling the bigger parts when you are ironing the other parts.
- When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more crisp finish.
- When ironing garments with imprints, applications or even more sensitive fabric parts (i.e. embroidery), turn them inside out and, if necessary, lay a cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric. This way you avoid damage and get the volume of fabric designs that are not to be ironed flat.
- When ironing woolen garments, we recommend pressing sequentially the precision shot button (13) without placing the iron on the garment. This will avoid shiny effects on the fabric.
- In order to prevent new creases while ironing with steam make sure that the garment shows no residual moisture before going on ironing other parts of it.
(C) Precision shot
- Press the precision shot button (13) completely down.
- Steam will come out of the tip area of the soleplate only.
• To stop this function release the button.
- If you do not press it down completely, some steam may also come out from the rear steam holes in the soleplate.
(D) Iron auto-off
This function is activated if after 10 minutes there has been no steam emission.
- When the iron is in the auto-off mode, the icon ⏻ is flashing and the temperature control LED (11) is off. The iron will turn off to reduce power consumption.
- To turn the iron on again, the On/Off button (2) has to be pressed. Before start ironing again wait until the temperature control LED and the related icon for the setting in the display (1) are permanently on.
After ironing / storage
- Press the On/Off button (2) to turn off the appliance.
- Unplug and let the appliance cool down before storing.
• Empty the water tank.
- Lock the iron.
(E) Lock system
The appliance is equipped with a lock system for convenient transportation and easy storage. It is possible to lift and carry the appliance on the handle of the locked iron.
Note: Before transportation make sure the iron is properly locked and the water tank is empty.
- Place the soleplate into the recess on the iron mat.
- To lock the iron push the slider (10) (easy lock) toward the iron until you hear a "click".
- To unlock the iron push down the button on the slider (easy lock). The iron will be released.
(F) Descaling
Never open or touch the closure (8) when the appliance is hot and/or plugged in.
To maintain optimum performance, the system needs to be decalcified after every 15 litres of water consumption (about 8 complete refi IIs).
Do not use any chemicals, additives or descaler to rinse the boiler.
The icon 🟢 is flashing.
a. Switch off (2) and unplug the appliance. Unlock the iron and remove it from the iron rest. Wait until the appliance has cooled down (minimum 2.5 hours).
b. Empty the water tank.
c. Place the appliance on the edge of the sink and open the transparent cover (9).
d. Turn the closure (8) anticlockwise to open it.
e. Let the water flow into the sink.
f. Turn the appliance slightly in an inclined position to empty the boiler completely.
g. When no more water comes out of the appliance screw the closure to close the boiler and close the transparent cover.
h. After having finished the descaling procedure, plug in and switch on.
i. Press the calc clean system button (3) for 2 seconds to reset.
If the appliance is switched off without descaling, the icon will start to flash again when it is next switched on.
Note: Because of the different water composition by using an installed in-house permanent descaler, it is recommended to descale the system after every 4 complete refi lls or at least once per month. Please note that in this case the icon for descaling will not automatically start flashing.
(G) Care and Cleaning
- Before cleaning, always make sure that the appliance is switched off, unplugged and has cooled down completely.
- To clean the soleplate it is suggested to use a damp cloth.
- To clean the soft material on the handle and the high glossy surface use a damp cloth only.
- Never use chemicals, vinegar or scouring pads (eg. sponges with coarse nylon fabrics etc).
Please do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Centre or at appropriate collection points provided in your country.

| Steam comes out under the base unit. | The “max” pressure safety system has opened. | Turn the appliance off immediately and contact an authorised Braun Customer Service. |
| There are some water drops from the holes in the bottom of the soleplate. | Water has condensed inside the tubes because steam is being used for the first time, or has not been used for some time. | Press the steam button several times away from the ironing board. This will eliminate cold water from the steam circuit. |
