• 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 fl ashing. At this stage it is possible to continue steam ironing for about 10-15 minutes.

CareStyle 7155, 7156 eco eco It is suggested for most delicate garments like synthetics, silk and blended fabrics. This setting allows less power consumption. iCare It is suggested for garments like wool, polyester and cotton. turbo It is suggested for garments that need more powerful steam, like thick cotton/linen and jeans. This setting can also be used to refresh and hygienize garments that were in the closet before dressing. Note: Do not use the hygienize function on people and pets. When the appliance is switched on, it will always be set to the iCare setting, independently on the last setting chosen. 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 diffi cult 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 fi nish.

• 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 fl at.

• When ironing woolen garments, we recommend pressing sequentially the precision shot button (13) without placing the iron on the garment. This will avoid shiny eff ects 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.

• When the iron is in the auto-off mode, the icon is fl ashing 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. 5712811931_CareStyle_7143_7144_7155_7156_INT_S6-152.indd 145712811931_CareStyle_7143_7144_7155_7156_INT_S6-152.indd 14 27.10.17 08:2227.10.17 08:2215 After ironing / storage

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 fi rst 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. Brown coloured fl uid leaks from the soleplate. Chemical water softeners or additives have been poured into the water tank. Never pour products into the water tank. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth and rinse the boiler. The fi rst time the appliance is turned on, you notice smoke or smell. Some parts have been treated with sealer/lubricant which evaporates the fi rst time the iron heats up. This is normal and will stop when you have used the iron a few times. If the smoke/smell is still present after turning off the appliance, contact an authorised Braun Customer Service. The appliance emits an intermittent noise associated with vibrations. Water is being pumped into the boiler. This is normal and no action is needed.
