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.

Decalcifying / Self-cleaning
Braun automatic shut-off irons have a built-in
system (anti-calc. valve) to prevent calcification.

chamber. Do not use commercial decalcifiers;
they may damage the sole plate.
We recommend to use the self-cleaning function

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.
