Notice: Remove the sole plate label, if any, before first use.
Important safeguards
•Before using the iron, read the use instruc- tions 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 and make sure the steam button is in its lower position (steam off). Always pull the plug, not the cord. The cord should never come in contact with hot objects or with the hot 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.
•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 Centre for repair.
•Faulty or unqualified repair work may cause accidents or injury to the user.

•This iron is designed for tap water. If you have extremely hard water, we recommend to use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water. Fill the water tank to «max» marking. Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g. starch).
•Keep the iron in the upright position and connect it to the mains. Select the tem- perature according to the ironing guide on the heel rest of the iron or on the label in your garments.
