English

Our products are engineered to meet the highest
standards of quality, functionality and design.
We hope you enjoy your new Braun steam iron.
Notice:

Remove the label, if any, from the sole

plate before first use.

Important Safeguards

• Before using the iron, read the use instruc-

tions completely. Keep the use instructions
during the entire life of the iron.

• Make sure your voltage corresponds to the

voltage printed on the iron. Connect the iron
to alternating current only.

• Always unplug the iron before filling with

water. Always pull the plug, not the cord.
The cord should never come in contact with
the hot objects or the sole plate.

• Never immerse the iron in water or other

liquids.

• During ironing pauses, always place the

iron upright on its heel rest. Unplug it when
leaving the room, even if only for a short time.

• Keep the iron away from children. Electric

irons combine high temperatures and hot
steam that could lead to burns.

• Never iron or dampen clothes while wearing

them.

• Check the cord regularly for possible

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 many cause

accidents or injury to the user.

• Braun electric appliances meet applicable

safety standards.

5 Steam regulator
6 Steam plus button (model 3240 only)

B Before starting off

• This iron is designed for tap water. If you have
extremely hard water, we recommend to use
a mixtur 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).

• Keep the iron in the upright position 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 goes off when the desired
temperature is reached (after approx.
1

ó

min.).

D After ironing

Unplug the iron. To prolong the life of the
iron, empty the water tank. Store the cool
iron in a dry place always standing on its heel
rest.

E Maintenance and cleaning

To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other
chemicals.

F Cleaning the anticalc valve

The anticalc valve on the steam regulator
has to be decalcified regularly (e.g. when­ever steam development is insufficient).
For this, the water tank has to be empty

.

Removing the steam regulator with the
anticalc valve

Turn the steam regulator clockwise to the
double arrow at the end of the anticalc
section and it will lift. Pull it out vertically.
Do not touch the anticalc valve at its lower
end. Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar
(not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for
minimum 30 minutes. Brush off remaining
residues and rinse under running water
(fig. F 1-5).

Re-inserting the steam regulator

To re-insert the steam regulator follow fig.
6 and 7.

The iron must not be used without

Notice:

G Decalcifying/anticalc system

In order to clean the steam chamber from
residues, decalcify it as shown in fig.
G 1-11.

Caution:

Hot water and steam will come
out from the sole plate when the steam
regulator is turned clockwise into the anticalc
area.

Wait for the sole plate to cool down, then
clean it as described above.

Then refill the tank with water, heat up the
iron and press the power shot button 4 times
to rinse the iron before ironing (G 12-13).
