Troubleshooting Guide - Braun TexStyle 7 Guia De Inicio Rapido

The Precision Shot function can also be
used in the vertical position for steaming
hanging clothes.
Caution: Hot steam comes out from the
preconditioning nozzles.
Spray function
Press the spray button (5).
Dry ironing
Set the steam regulator (6) on position «0»
(= steam off).
D Textile Protector
(730 model only)
Before attaching the Textile Protector (10)
for the first time, iron approximately 2
minutes without Textile Protector. The
Braun Textile Protector protects delicate
fabrics from heat damage and makes it
possible to iron most dark fabrics without
an intermediate cloth.
A special coating avoids shiny patches.
However, in order not to damage the
coating, avoid ironing over e.g. zippers,
metal buttons/rivets or strass with the
Textile Protector attached.
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 Protector, you
are able to iron delicate fabrics with the
temperature setting within the solid red
range so that you can use all steam
functions your iron offers.
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.
E 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.
F Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other
chemicals.
G Cleaning the anticalc valve
The anticalc valve located on the lower
end of the steam regulator 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 the steam setting «6». Keep
on turning firmly beyond the resistance
until the steam regulator is lifted. When
positioned at x, 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. G, 1-7).
Re-inserting the steam regulator
When re-inserting the steam regulator,
make sure the steam regulator base still
points on setting x (fig. G 8). Firmly push
down the steam regulator until it turns
back to setting «6» (fig. G) where it
catches.
Notice: The iron must never be used
without steam regulator.
H Decalcifying/anticalc system
In order to clean the steam chamber from
residues, decalcify it as shown in picture
section H, 1-8.
Caution: Hot water and steam will come
out from the sole plate when the steam
regulator is turned clockwise beyond
setting «6».
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 precision shot button 4 times to rinse
the iron before ironing (fig. H, 9-13).
Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they
may damage the iron.
