Troubleshooting Guide; Cleaning And Maintenance - Braun Freestyle Sprint SI 9720 Bedienungsanleitung

Vertical steam
Hanging curtains and clothes (jackets, suits, coats)
can be steam-ironed to remove wrinkles. Set the
temperature selector within the red section.
Hold the iron vertically, press the steam button
while passing over the material in up and down
movements.
Caution: The steam is very hot. Never direct steam
towards persons.
Textile Protector (SI 9720 model only)
The Textile Protector (18) protects delicate fabrics
from heat damage and makes it possible to iron
most dark fabrics without an intermediate cloth. To
check the reaction of your fabrics before you start
ironing, we recommend that you iron a small section
of material on the reverse side.
With the Textile protector, you are able to iron most
delicate fabrics with the temperature setting «•••»
or «max». We recommend a medium steam setting.
After having attached the Textile Protector, wait
about 1 1/2 minutes before you start ironing. Always
store your iron with the Textile Protector detached.
Refilling the water tank
When pushing the steam button with a low water
level in the tank, the water low indicator (3) will light
up. Then the steam function is blocked until the
water tank is refilled.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning, always make sure that the
appliance is unplugged and has cooled down.
Cleaning the iron
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool. Then wipe
the sole plate clean with a cloth. Never use scouring
pads, vinegar or other chemicals. To clean the
handle, use a damp cloth.
Cleaning the boiler
To maintain optimum performance, clean the boiler
after every 10 to 20 times of usage depending on
the amount of calcium in your water. Proceed as
follows (g):
Detach the water tank. Make sure the appliance has
cooled down.
Pull off the silicone cap (15). Use a coin to unscrew
the metal cap (14) (counterclockwise).

Insert the funnel (17) into the boiler opening. Fill in
0.5 l tap water, shake the boiler to rinse well, then
empty it.
Repeat the process until no more calcium particles
come out from the boiler.
After cleaning the boiler, remove the funnel, screw
the steel cap back into the boiler opening (clock-
wise) and put on the silicone cap again.
