3. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating the iron is heating up. It will turn off when the selected temperature is reached.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Dry Ironing

For dry ironing, ensure the steam regulator (E) is set to the '0' (no steam) position. Select the appropriate temperature and wait for the iron to heat up. Iron the fabric without steam.

4.2 Steam Ironing

Steam ironing is suitable for most fabrics that can withstand high temperatures. Ensure the water tank is filled and the temperature dial is set to a steam-appropriate setting (usually indicated by steam symbols on the dial).

1. Once the iron reaches the set temperature, adjust the steam regulator (E) to the desired steam output.
2. Glide the iron over the fabric.

4.3 Steam Shot Function

The steam shot (C) provides an extra burst of steam for stubborn creases. Press the steam shot button briefly. Wait a few seconds between shots to allow the iron to reheat and produce optimal steam.

4.4 Spray Function

The spray function (D) can be used to dampen fabrics before ironing, which helps in removing creases. Press the spray button to emit a fine mist from the spray nozzle (B).

4.5 Vertical Steaming

The steam shot function can also be used for vertical steaming of hanging garments or curtains. Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters away from the fabric and press the steam shot button (C).

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 After Each Use

1. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool down completely.
2. Empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent mineral buildup.

5.2 Cleaning the Soleplate

To clean the soleplate (I), wipe it with a damp cloth after it has cooled down. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner specifically designed for iron soleplates. Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

5.3 Descaling

Regular descaling helps maintain optimal steam performance. If you notice reduced steam output or white flakes, descale the iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Consult the Braun website for specific descaling instructions for your model.
