Praktical Guidelines

Type of Water to be Used

This iron is designed for tap water. However, if

you have hard water we recommend to use:

– filtered water (household water filters that also

de-mineralize water are commercially

available) or

– a mixture of 1/2 part tap water and 1/2 part

distilled water from drug stores or grocery

stores.

portant: Never use distilled water (battery

water). Do not add any additives (e. g. starch) to

the water.

To fill iron

1. Pull the plug out of the wall outlet.

2. Put the steam regulator

in position «

(= steam off).

3. Open sliding shutter

4. Place the iron in the upright position and fill

with water slowly through the tank opening

to the «max.» marking

(a), using the

beaker

5. Close sliding shutter.

Connect the iron to a safely located wall outlet

and select the ironing temperature with the

provide constant steam even when the water

level in the tank is low.

functions between horizontal and upright

positions. Be careful not to touch sensitive

textiles with the hot sole plate.

Shot of steam

particular-ly powerful shot

IMPORTANT

: Store the cool steam iron in a dry

place and always standing on its heel rest

The sole plate may be damaged by remaining

water if it is stored horizontally. The warranty

does not cover faults or damage resulting from

improper storage of the iron.

Maintenance and Cleaning

To remove residues of minerals/starch from the

sole plate always use steel wool. Never use a

scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals. The

steam vents

and jet of steam outlets

may

be cleaned manually with a toothpick, if

necessary. Clean the sole plate regularly if you

use starch or other aids on the clothes for

ironing.

Decalcifying / Self-cleaning

Braun irons Saphir-jet have a built-in system

(anti-calc. valve) to prevent calcification. It allows

you to clean residues from the steam chamber.

Do not use commercial decalcifiers; they may

damage the sole plate. We recommend to use

the self-cleaning function every 3 months.
