[VanBethany]

Cleaning your BRAYER BR4008 steam iron's steam chamber is essential for optimal performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare the Iron: Ensure the iron is off, unplugged, and completely cool before you begin.
2. Fill the Water Tank: Open the water inlet and fill the tank with water, up to the "MAX" level indicated. Secure the lid.
3. Set the Temperature: Place the iron on its heel rest and plug it in. Set the temperature control to the highest setting, usually marked "MAX." The indicator light will turn on.
4. Clean the Steam Chamber: Wait for the soleplate to heat up and the indicator light to turn off. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink. Switch the continuous steam function to the self-cleaning position.
5. Release Steam: The iron will release boiling water and steam, along with any mineral scale, from the soleplate vents. Gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
6. Cool and Wipe: Place the iron back on its heel rest and let the soleplate cool down completely. Once cool, wipe the soleplate clean with a dry cloth.
7. Drain and Store: Before storing, make sure the water tank is empty and the soleplate is dry. Store the iron upright in a cool, dry place, away from children and anyone with limited mobility. Following these steps will help you maintain your BRAYER BR4008 steam iron, ensuring it continues to deliver excellent results.
