Troubleshooting guide

PROBLEM
The appliance does not
switch on.
Steam comes out under the
base unit.
There are some water drops
from the holes in the bottom
of the soleplate.
Brown coloured fl uid leaks
from the soleplate.
The fi rst time the appliance
is turned on, you notice
smoke / smell.
The appliance emits an
intermittent noise associated
with vibrations.
The closure is diffi cult to
unscrew.
All LEDs are fl ashing.
CAUSE
The appliance is not plugged
into a mains socket.
The «max» pressure safety
system has opened.
Water has condensed inside the
tubes because steam is being
used for the fi rst time, or has not
been used for some time.
Chemical water softeners or
additives have been poured into
the water tank boiler.
Some parts have been treated
with sealer / lubricant which
evaporates the fi rst time the iron
heats up.
Water is being pumped into the
boiler.
Water tank is empty.
Lime scale has made the
closure diffi cult to open.
System error
Note: Because of the diff erent water composition
by using an installed in-house permanent descaler,
it is recommended to descale the system after
every 4 complete refi lls or at least once per month.
Please note that in this case the icon for descaling
will not automatically start fl ashing.
(G) Care and Cleaning
• Before cleaning, always make sure that the
appliance is switched off , unplugged and has
cooled down completely.
• To clean the soleplate it is suggested to use a
damp cloth.
• To clean the soft material on the handle and the
high glossy surface use a damp cloth only.
• Never use chemicals, vinegar or scouring pads
(eg. sponges with coarse nylon fabrics etc).
REMEDY
Make sure the appliance is correctly
connected and press the On/Off button.
Turn the appliance off immediately and
contact an authorised Braun Customer
Service.
Press the steam button several times
away from the ironing board. This will
eliminate cold water from the steam
circuit.
Never pour products into the water
tank. Clean the sole plate with a damp
cloth and rinse the boiler.
This is normal and it will stop when you
have used the iron a few times.
If the smoke/smell is still present after
turning off the appliance, contact an
authorised Braun Customer Service.
This is normal and no action is needed.
Refi ll the water tank and press the reset
button.
Turn the cap forcefully. To avoid the
problem, rinse system frequently.
Unplug the system, plug in again and
press the On / Off button. If this problem
is still present, turn the appliance off
immediately and contact an authorised
Braun Customer Service.
