Decalcifying / Self-cleaning, Ironing Guide

Decalcifying / Self-cleaning

Braun ProGlide-jet irons 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.

1.Turn the steam regulator 4to the position «•» (= steam off).

2.Fill the water tank to the marking «max.» L and turn the temperature selector 1 to the

●●●marking («self-cleaning» = SC) (A).

3.Plug the iron into the socket and wait till the pilot light 8 goes off.

4.Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink.

5.Turn the steam regu- lator 4 clockwise to the end of the red marking (B) and then

6.keep turning it to the

double-arrow marking

. The steam regu- lator will lift (C).

7.Pull out the steam regulator together with the valve vertically (D). Do not touch the lower end of the anci-calc. valve with your fingers, to avoid a possible greasy film.

8.Allow all water to drain through the steam vents in the sole plate, while shaking the iron slightly.

(Caution: Hot water and steam come out from the sole plate.)

9.Wait for the sole plate to cool down and then clean it (see «Maintenance and Cleaning»).

10.Make sure that the sole plate is completely dry before storing it.

Cleaning the anti-calc. valve on the steam regulator

During the time the sole plate is cooling down we recommend to decalcify the anti-calc. valve in the following way:

1.Put a small quantity of white vinegar (not vinegar essence) or lemon juice into a glass or bowl.

2.Immerse just the bot- tom part of the valve in the liquid, wait till it is decalcified and care- fully brush of remain- ing residue (E) .

Do not use a metal brush.

3.Then, rinse it under

running water without touching the lower end of the valve.

Re-inserting the steam regulator with anti-calc. valve

1.Re-insert the steam regulator so that the double-arrow aligns with the marking on the iron (F).

2.Then push it down carefully and at the same time turn the button anti-clockwise.

3.Keep turning the button to the marking «•»

(= steam off).

4.If your iron has the shot of steam, refill the tank with water, heat the iron up and press the button 7 3 to 4 times in the shot of steam

function before ironing, to rinse the iron.

ATTENTION: The iron must not be used without the steam regulator and the anti-calc. valve.

Ironing Guide

To begin ironing, it is best to start with fabrics requiring a lower temperature (e. g. synthetics), and continue with those requiring a higher temperature (e. g. cotton, linen).

Silk and silk-like synthetics tend to waterspot, therefore before using the water spray feature, test it on an inconspicuous spot first.
