Frequently Asked Questions - TexStyle 7 SI 7088 BRAUN

How to fill the water tank?

Make sure the appliance is off and unplugged. Tilt the iron slightly and pour tap water without exceeding the max level. Do not use distilled water alone or chemical products.

How to use the steam function?

Turn the steam regulator (4) on the scale from 1 to 6 for continuous steam. For turbo steam, press the turbo steam button (5) for less than one minute. The steam shot is activated via the trigger (6) after a few initial presses.

Why does my iron leave water drops on the laundry?

Check that the tank cover is properly closed. Do not add chemical products to the water. If the problem persists, wait a few seconds between each trigger press and make sure the temperature selector is at least on ••.

The iron does not produce steam, what to do?

Fill the water tank. Clean the valve (see descaling). Make sure the temperature is sufficient (at least ••), otherwise the anti-drip function blocks steam.

How to descale the iron?

Set the steam regulator to 0, fill the tank, plug in the iron and set the temperature to max. Once hot, unplug it, remove the steam regulator by turning beyond 6, then shake the iron over the sink to remove scale. Rinse the valve in vinegar or lemon for 30 minutes.

How to clean the soleplate?

Make sure the iron is cold and unplugged. For a Saphir soleplate, use steel wool. For an Eloxal soleplate, use a damp cloth. Never use chemical products or abrasive pads.

What does the flashing light mean?

The temperature control LED flashes when the iron is in automatic shut-off mode (horizontal position 30 s, vertical 8 min). Move the iron to reactivate it and wait for the light to go off before resuming ironing.

The iron turns off by itself, is this normal?

Yes, it's the automatic shut-off safety feature. It activates if the iron remains horizontal for 30 s or vertical for 8 min. To turn it back on, simply move it.

Can I use distilled water alone?

No, never use distilled water alone. If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water and 50% distilled water. Do not add other products like starch.

How to activate the steam shot?

Press the steam shot trigger (6) 3 to 4 times before the first use to activate it. Then press several times a few seconds apart. Use the iron vertically for hanging clothes.

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 unattended 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.

(A) Start ironing

Filling the water tank

• 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 recommend 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 (10) and plug in.
• Select a temperature (7) which is suitable for the garments (refer to the garment guide on the heel rest). The iron starts to heat up and the temperature control LED (8) on the iron is on. The anti-drip function is automatically activated to prevent water leakage at low temperature settings.
• Once the selected temperature is reached, the temperature control LED turns off.

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 1 minute.

- Steamshot

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.

The temperature selector should have a minimum temperature level 3 ( ••• ). 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 30 seconds or vertically on its heel rest for about 8 minutes.

• When the iron is in the auto-off mode the temperature control LED (8) is blinking.
• To turn the iron on again, just move it forward.
• Before start ironing again wait until the temperature control LED is turned off.

(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 «0» (= steam off).
2. Fill the water tank.
3. Plug in and set the temperature at "max" on the temperature selector (7).
4. Wait until the temperature control LED (8) turns off 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

1. 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.

Rinsing 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 insufficient).

1. Immerse the lower end of the valve in vinegar (not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for a minimum of 30 minutes.
2. Brush off remaining residues and rinse under running water.

Reset

1. Re-insert the steam regulator, firmly push it down and turn it back to steam setting «6».
2. Refill the water tank.
3. Plug in and set the temperature with the temperature selector.
4. Wait until the temperature control LED turns off.

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).
