steam iron.

Notice:

plate 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 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,

especially when using the «jet» function.

Electric irons combine high temperatures

and hot steam that could lead to burns.

them.

damage.

• If the appliance (including cord) shows any

defect, stop using it and take it to a Braun

Service Centre for repair.

cause accidents or injury to the user.

safety standards.
