Braun products are engineered to meet the

highest standards of quality, functionality and

design. We hope you enjoy your new Braun

FreeStyle iron.

Notice:

Remove any labels affixed to the

soleplate before first use.

Important safeguards

•

Before using the iron read the use

instructions 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 (AC) only.

•

Always unplug the iron and make sure the

steam button (3) is pushed down into the

lowered position (steam off) before filling

the tank with water. To unplug the iron

always pull by the plug, not the cord. The

cord should never come in contact with hot

objects or with the hot soleplate.

•

Never immerse the iron in water or other

liquids.

•

During pauses in ironing always place the

iron upright on the heel rest (8). Unplug it

when leaving the room, even if only for a

short time.

•

Never pull out the steam button (3) during

ironing.

•

Keep the iron away from children.

•

Electric irons combine high temperatures

and hot steam that could lead to burns.

•

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 center for repair.

•

Faulty or unqualified repair work may cause

accidents or injury to the user.

B Before getting started

•

This iron is designed to be used with tap

water. If you have extremely hard water we

recommend using a mixture of 50% tap

water and 50% distilled water. Fill the water

tank to the «max» marking. Never use

distilled water exclusively. Do not add any

additives (e.g. starch).

•

Keep the iron in the upright position and

plug it into the outlet. Select the desired

temperature according to the ironing guide

on the heel rest (8) or the label in your

garment.

•

The temperature pilot light (7) goes off when

the desired temperature is reached (after

approximately 1 minute).

C Ironing

1 Steam on/off

For steam ironing, the temperature

selector (6) must be set within the red

range.

Press the steam button (3) to start the

steam mode.

steam on steam off

(upright position) (lowered position)

With the steam button (3) in the upright

position, turn the steam regulator (3a) to

adjust the steam quantity.

Pre-Conditioning Steam

(available on models SI 6285 and SI 6245)

Steam comes out of the channels on the

upper part of the soleplate around the

front of the iron. This preconditions the

fabric by «pre-steaming», thus making

ironing easier.

Use caution as 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 (5) in intervals of at

least 5 seconds.

Power shot (5) can be activated when dry

ironing (see point 4 below). However,

the temperature selector (6) must be set in

the range between «•••» and «max». The

power shot function can also be used in

the vertical position for steaming hanging

garments or curtains.

3 Spray function

Press the spray button (4).

4 Dry ironing

Turn the steam mode off by pressing the

steam button (3) down so that it catches in

the lowered position.

5 Automatic Shut-Off

(available on models SI 6285, SI 6245 and

SI 6225)

Important: the auto shut-off feature is

mercury-free. The auto shut-off mecha-

nism causes a slight rattling noise during

ironing. This is normal and in no case

indicates a fault of the iron. The «auto-off»

pilot light (7) will flash when the automatic

shut-off is activated. This happens when

the iron has rested:

– horizontall

y on the soleplate for about

25 seconds

– vertically on the heel rest (8) for about

12.5 minutes

– when the iron has been lying on its side

for about 25 seconds.

To turn on the iron again, just move it.

When the «auto-off» pilot light (7) stops

flashing the electrical power is on again.

D After ironing

•

Unplug the iron and press the steam on/off

button (3) down so that it catches in the

lowered position (steam off).

•

To prolong the life of the iron empty the

water tank after each use.

•

Always allow the iron to cool down before

storing it in the upright position in a dry

place.

E Maintenance and cleaning

To clean the soleplate use steel wool.

Then wipe the soleplate clean with a cloth.

Never use a scourin

g pad, vinegar or other

chemicals. To clean the soft material on

the handle and the knobs, wipe with

soapy water.

F Cleaning the «anti-calc» valve

The iron's «anti-calc» valve is a long wand

that is located beneath the steam button

(3). This valve needs to be decalcified

regularly (e.g., when the steam develop-

ment is insufficient).

Proceed as follows:

1) Unplug the iron and empty the water tank.

2) Press the steam button (3) so that it is in

the upright position.

3) Remove the steam button (3) carefully

(some water may leak from the soleplate).

4) Be careful not to touch the «anti-calc»

valve.

5) Immerse the valve in white vinegar or

lemon juice until the limescale becomes

soft.

6) Using a brush with non-metallic bristles,

brush until all openings on the valve are

clean.

7) Rinse the valve under running water.

8) Insert the valve back into the iron and

press the steam button (3) down until it

clicks into place.

9) Press the steam button (3) to check the

steam on/off function.

Note:

never use the iron unless the steam

button (3) is securely in place.

Decalcifying /«anti-calc» system

When limescale particles come out of the

steam vents or when the steam

development is insufficient even after

cleaning the «anti-calc» valve, you should

clean the steam chamber as follows:

1) Make sure the steam button (3) is in the

lowered position (steam off).

2)–3) Fill the water tank, plug in the iron and

select the «•••» temperature setting.

4)–5) Wait until the pilot light (7) turns off,

then unplug the iron from the outlet.

6)–7) Holding the iron over a sink, press the

steam button (3) so it is in the upright

position, carefully pull it up, turn it and let

it rest in that position.

Caution:

When the steam button (3) is

pulled up, hot water and steam will be

released from the soleplate.

8) Turn the steam button (3) back into place

by pushing it down until it clicks into

place.

9)–10) Fill the water tank, plug the iron in and

select the «•••» temperature setting.

11)–13) When the pilot light (7) goes off,

press the power shot button (5) 4 times to

rinse the iron. Disconnect the iron and

wait for the soleplate to cool off, then

clean it as described above in section E.

Note:

the iron must never be used without

the steam button (3).
