Important Safeguards
• Before using the iron, read the use
instructions completely. Keep the use
instructions during the entire life of the
appliance.
• This appliance is designed for household
use only.
• Make sure your voltage corresponds to
the voltage printed on the iron.
• Always unplug the iron before filling with
water. Always pull the plug, not the cord.
• The cord should never come in contact
with hot objects or the sole plate.
• Never immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
• The iron must be used and rested on a
stable surface.
• During ironing pauses, always place the
iron upright on its heel rest and ensure
that the heel rest is placed on a stable
surface.
• The iron must not be left unattended while
it is connected to the mains supply.
• Keep the iron away from children,
especially when using the Precision Shot
function. Electric irons combine high
temperatures and hot steam that could
lead to burns.
• Never iron or dampen clothes while
wearing them.
• The iron is not to be used if it has dropped,
if there are visible signs of damage or if it
is leaking. Regularly check the cord for
damage.
• If the appliance (including cord) shows
any defect, stop using it and take it to a
Braun Service Centre for repair. Faulty
or unqualified repair work may cause
accidents or injury to the user. Braun
electric appliances meet applicable safety
standards.

B Before starting off
This iron is designed for tap water. If you
have extremely hard water, we recom-
mend 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).
• 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 (7) has to be set
within the red range.
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 (7) has to be set
within the solid red range.
Precision Shot
Prior to use, press the Precision Shot
button (4) 3 to 4 times to activate it.
Press the Precision Shot button in inter-
vals 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 to be within the solid red
range.
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»
