Iron Braun CareStyle 5 IS 5245 BL

The Iron Braun CareStyle 5 IS 5245 BL is a steam ironing station designed for regular domestic use. It delivers 2400 W of power and offers a steam boost of 480 g/min to tackle creases efficiently. The Eloxal soleplate provides a smooth glide across a range of fabrics while the 2 L removable water tank supports extended ironing sessions. With a 1.8 m power cord and a 1.7 m steam hose the unit provides flexible reach, and its compact footprint (380 mm × 220 mm × 290 mm) keeps storage space requirements modest.

Advantages

The steam boost of up to 480 g/min allows rapid treatment of deep creases and heavy fabrics. The Eloxal soleplate combines good glide with scratch resistance suitable for frequent use. A 2 L water tank reduces the need for frequent refills so an entire ironing load can typically be completed in one session. The vertical steam function enables steaming of hanging garments, curtains and upholstery without contact. The combination of a 2400 W heater and ergonomic hose and cord lengths supports consistent steam output and comfortable handling.

Suitable for

• Daily household ironing of shirts, trousers and dresses
• Refreshing and de-wrinkling hanging garments and curtains using vertical steam
• Ironing larger loads where a larger water tank and continuous steam are beneficial
• Users who prefer a compact steam station with robust soleplate performance

How to use

Fill the removable 2 L water tank with tap water up to the indicated level, secure it in place, and plug the unit into a grounded outlet. Select the appropriate temperature and steam settings for the fabric to be ironed following garment care labels. Allow the unit to reach operating temperature before starting; the indicator will signal readiness. For standard ironing, place the garment on an ironing board and glide the iron across the fabric using steady strokes. For vertical steaming, hold the iron upright a short distance from the hanging item and apply steam bursts to remove wrinkles without pressing on delicate fabrics.

Usage recommendations

Use distilled or demineralised water in areas with hard water to reduce scale build-up and extend appliance service life. Empty the water tank after extended periods without use and store the appliance upright. When ironing delicate fabrics, reduce the temperature setting and use short steam bursts to avoid water spotting. Follow the garment care labels and the appliance user manual for safety and maintenance instructions.
