Super hard sole plate  
Saphir-jet electronic  
Your Braun steam iron has a unique sole plate  
made out of a special resistant alloy, polished  
with sapphire particles. This process developed  
by Braun makes the sole plate extremely durable  
and scratch resistant. Even ironing over sharp-  
edged fasteners, studs or zippers will not cause  
scratches that may snag or damage sensitive  
fabric. Thanks to its extra hardness, this sole  
plate will maintain its easy gliding properties  
throughout the life of the iron.

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 a  
mixture of 1/2 part tap water and 1/2 part distilled  
water from drug stores or grocery stores.  
IMPORTANT: Store the cool steam iron in a dry  
place and always standing on its heel rest j.  
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.

Important: Never use distilled water (battery  
water). Do not add any additives (e. g. starch) to  
the water.  
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 mand jet of steam outlets pmay  
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 automatic shut-off 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.

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.
