REMEDY
Make sure the appliance is correctly
connected and press the On/Off
button.

contact an authorised Braun Customer

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
