B Before starting off
• This iron is designed for tap water. If you
have extremely hard water, we recommend
to 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). Do not use condensation
water from a tumble dryer.
(model TS 535 TP only)
• 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 temperature pilot light (7) goes off,
when the desired temperature is reached
(after approx. 1 minute).
C Ironing
1 Steam on/off
For steam ironing the temperature selector
(6) must be set according to drawing C1
from greater than «••» to «max».
Press the steam button (3) to start the
steam mode.
steam on
With the steam button in its upper position
(steam on), turn the steam regulator (3a)
to adjust the steam quantity.
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.
Preconditioning
Steam develops also horizontally at the
front area of the sole plate. This preconditions the textiles by «pre-steaming», thus
making ironing easier.
Be careful – steam comes out laterally.
2 Power shot
Prior to use, press the power shot button
(5) 3 to 4 times to activate it. Press the
power shot button in intervals of at least
5 seconds.
Power shot can be activated when dry
ironing. However, the temperature selector
has to be set in the range between «•••»
to «max». The power shot function can
also be used in the vertical position for
steaming hanging clothes.
3 Spray function
Press the spray button (4).
4 Dry ironing
Turn the steam mode off by pressing the
steam button (3) so that it catches in the
lower position.
Automatic shut-off
(model TS 525 A only)
The auto-off mechanism causes a slight
rattling noise during ironing. This is normal
and in no case indicates a fault of the iron.
The
«auto-off» light
automatic shut-off is activated.
This happens when the iron has rested …
– horizontally on its sole plate for about
30 seconds or
– vertically on its heel rest for about
8 minutes.
(8) will fl ash when the
steam off
To turn on the iron again, just move it.
When the temperature pilot light stops
fl ashing, the electrical power is on again.
The automatic shut-off will be activated
approximately 2 minutes after the iron is
plugged into a socket.
D Textile Protector
(model TS 535 TP only)
The Braun Textile Protector protects
delicate fabrics from heat damage and
makes it possible to iron most dark fabrics
without an intermediate cloth. To check
the reaction of your fabrics before you
start ironing, we recommend that you iron
a small section of material on the reverse
side. With the Protector, you are able to
iron delicate fabrics with the temperature
setting «•••» to «max», so that you can
use all steam functions your iron offers.
After having attached the Textile Protector,
wait about 1 ½ minutes before you start
ironing.
E After ironing
• Unplug the iron and press the steam on/off
button (3) so that it catches in its lower
position (steam off).
• 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.
F Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Then wipe the sole plate clean with a cloth.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar nor
other chemicals. To clean the soft material
of handle and power shot and spray
buttons, use soapy water.
G Cleaning the anticalc valve
The iron’s anticalc valve is located at the
lower end of the steam button (3). It has
to be decalcifi ed regularly (e.g. when the
steam development is insuffi cient).
Proceed as follows:
1) Unplug the iron and empty the water tank.
2) Press the steam button so it is lifted.
3) Remove carefully (some water may now
leak from the sole plate).
4) Do not touch the anticalc valve.
5) Immerse in vinegar (not vinegar essence)
or lemon juice until the lime becomes soft.
6) Use a non-metallic brush until all openings
are clean.
7) Rinse under running water.
8) Re-insert the steam button.
9) Press to check the steam on/off function.
Note: the iron must never be used without
the steam button.

H Decalcifying / anticalc system
When scale particles come out of the steam
vents or when the steam development is
insuffi cient even after cleaning the
anticalc valve, you should clean the steam
chamber as follows:
1) Make sure the steam button is in its lower
position.
2) – 3) Fill water into the tank, connect to the
mains and select the «•••» temperature
setting.
4) – 5) Wait until the pilot light turns off.
Unplug the iron.
6) – 7) Hold the iron over a sink, then press the
steam button so it is lifted, carefully pull it
up, turn it and rest it in this position.

up, hot water and steam will come out
from the sole plate.

mains and select the «•••» temperature
setting.

the power shot button 4 times to rinse the
iron. Disconnect the iron and wait for the
sole plate to cool off, then clean it as
