Our products are engineered to meet the highest
standards of quality, functionality and design. We
hope you enjoy your new Braun Steam Station.
Important Safeguards
• Read the use instructions completely and keep
them during the entire lifetime of the appliance.
• Make sure your voltage corresponds to the
voltage printed on the bottom of the steam boiler.
This appliance is designed for household use
only.
• Place the steam station on a stable, horizontal
(level) surface (e.g. table, floor). Use the iron on a
stable surface and rest it on the iron stand or
upright on its heel rest.
• During ironing pauses, always place the iron on
the iron stand or upright on its heel rest (making
sure that the heel rest is placed on a stable
surface).
• The steam station must not be left unattended
while it is connected to the supply mains.
• The cord and the steam hose should never come
in contact with hot objects or with the hot sole
plate.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or other
liquids.
• Keep the appliance away from children. High
temperatures and hot steam could lead to burns.
• Caution: Steam hose, steam boiler and especially
the iron stand get hot during use.
• Steam ironing can cause condensation water
which may drop from the back of the iron board
onto the floor.
• The iron is not to be used if it has dropped, if
there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
Check cord and hose 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 may cause accidents or injury to the
user.
• Before leaving our factory all our products are
rigorously tested. For this reason, there might be
a small quantity of remaining water left in the
steam boiler.

Filling the water tank
• For easy filling, the water tank (13) is removable.
• Open the lid (12) and use it as a handle to pull up
the water tank when removing it (a).
• Fill the water tank to the «max» marking with tap
water. If you have extremely hard water we recom-
mend that you use a mixture of 50% tap water
and 50% distilled water. Never use distilled water
exclusively. Do not add any vinegar, additives,
descaling agents or other chemicals.
• When attaching the water tank to the steam
station, make sure that it clicks into place.
Connecting your steam station
• Place the iron on the iron stand (5) (or upright on
its heel rest (9)), plug in the power cord and press
the on/off switch (1) (b).
• Set the temperature selector (7) according to the
ironing guide on the heel rest of the iron or the
label in your garments (c).
• The temperature pilot light (8) goes off when the
selected temperature is reached.
Steam ironing
• For steam ironing, set the temperature selector (7)
within the red section.
• The steam pilot light (4) goes off when steam is
ready (after approx. 2 minutes).
During use, the steam pilot light will go on and off
indicating that the boiler is working to maintain
the required steam pressure.
• When pressing the steam button (6), steam will
be released from the sole plate (d).
• You can adjust the steam quantity using the
steam regulator (2).
• When starting the ironing session or when you
have not used the steam function for some time,
the steam still present in the supply hose will
condense into water. This may cause some
spluttering in the appliance and a few drops of
water may come out from the sole plate. Before
starting ironing just hold the iron over a cloth and
press the steam control button until the steam
production has normalised.
Dry ironing
If you want to iron without steam, do not press the
steam button (6).
