Our products are engineered to meet the highest
standards of quality, functionality and design. We
hope you enjoy your new Braun steam iron.
Important safeguards
•Before using the iron, read the use instructions
completely. Keep the use instructions during the
entire life of the appliance.
•Make sure your voltage corresponds to the
voltage printed on the iron.
•Always unplug the iron before filling with water.
Always pull the plug, not the cord.
•The cord should never come in contact with hot
objects or the sole plate.
•Never immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
•The iron must be used and rested on a stable
surface.
•During ironing pauses, always place the iron
upright on its heel rest and ensure that the heel
rest is placed on a stable surface.
•The iron must not be left unattended while it is
connected to the mains supply.
•Keep the iron away from children, especially
when using the Power shot function. Electric
irons combine high temperatures and hot steam
that could lead to burns.
•Never iron or dampen clothes while wearing
them.
•The iron is not to be used if it has dropped, if
there are visible signs of damage or if it is
leaking. Regularly check the cord for 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. Braun electric appliances meet applicable
safety standards.

7 Pilot light
8 Heel rest
B Before starting off
This iron is designed for tap water. If you have
extremely hard water, we recommend that you
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).
•Before filling with water, turn off the steam
regulator («0» = steam off).
•Holding the iron slightly inclined (as shown in B),
fill the water tank up to the «max» marking.
•Place the iron upright on its heel rest and
connect it to the mains.
Select the temperature according to the ironing
guide on the heel rest of the iron or on the label
in your garments.
The pilot light (7) goes off when the desired
temperature is reached (after approx. 1
1/2min.).
C Ironing
1 Vario steam
You can select the steam quantity using the
steam regulator (3).
(0= no steam, = maximum steam).
Notice: While ironing, do not turn the steam
regulator beyond .
The temperature selector (6) has to be set within
the red range (between «••» and «max»).
Preconditioning
(only with model SI 2040)
Steam also develops horizontally at the front
area of the sole plate. This preconditions the
textiles by «pre-steaming», thus making ironing
easier.
Be careful – steam comes out laterally.
2 Power shot
Prior to use, press the Power shot button (5)
3 to 4 times to activate it.
Press the Power shot button in intervals of at
least 5 seconds.
Power shot can be activated when dry ironing.
The temperature selector has to be within the
solid red range (between «•••» and «max»).
Models SI 2030 and SI 2040 only:
The Power shot function can also be used in the
vertical position for steaming hanging clothes.
3 Spray function
Press the spray button (4).
4 Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (3) on position «0»
(= steam off).
D After ironing
Unplug the iron and turn the steam regulator to
position «0». To prolong the life of the iron,
empty the water tank. Store the cool iron in a dry
place always standing on its heel rest.
E Maintenance andcleaning
To prevent damaging the sole plate, do not iron
over metal buttons or zippers. Clean the sole
plate regularly with a damp cloth. To remove
mineral/starch residues, use a vinegar/water
mixture in the ratio of 1
:
2. Never use steel wool,
abrasive scouring pads, powders or other
chemicals to clean the sole plate.
F Cleaning the anticalc valve
The anticalc valve located on the lower end of
the steam regulator (3) has to be decalcified
regularly (e.g. whenever steam development is
insufficient). For this, the water tank has to be
empty.
Removing the steam regulator with the anticalc
valve:
Turn the steam regulator clockwise towards .
Keep on turning firmly beyond the resistance
until the steam regulator is lifted. When
positioned at «•» (anticalc system), pull it out
vertically. Do not touch the anticalc valve at its
lower end. Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar
(not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for a
minimum of 30 minutes. Brush off remaining
residues and rinse under running water
(fig. F 1–5).
Re-inserting the steam regulator:
When re-inserting the steam regulator, make
sure the steam regulator base still points on
setting «•» (anticalc system) (fig. F 6). When
firmly pushing down the steam regulator, it turns
back to (fig. F 7) where it catches.
Notice: The iron must never be used without
steam regulator.
G Decalcifying / anticalc system
In order to clean the steam chamber from
residues, decalcify it as shown in picture section
G 1–11.
Caution: Hot water and steam will come out
from the sole plate when the steam regulator is
turned clockwise beyond .
Wait for the sole plate to cool down, then clean
it as described above.
Then refill the tank with water, heat up the iron
and press the Power shot button four times to
rinse the iron before ironing (fig. G 12–14).
Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they may
damage the iron.
