unplug the iron from the mains!
1. Place the iron at an angle of 45° with the point facing upwards.
2. Fill the water tank (D) via the water tank inlet but never above
the "max" mark (F).
Use only clean water from the tap without mixing anything with
it. The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage
the appliance.
Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned
products, will make the guarantee void.
Do not use condensation water from tumble dryers, air conditioners
or similar appliances. This appliance has been designed to use
normal tap water.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water with distilled
water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is very hard, mix tap
water with distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water
supplier
6. Vertical steaming with shot of steam
This can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes, curtains
etc. It cannot be used on a synthetic setting for delicate items.
WARNING! Do not vertical steam while the item is being worn.
Never spray or aim steam at people or animals!
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (F).
2. Set te temperature control (H) to the "···" or "max" position and
the steam regulator (A) to the position.
3. Hold the iron in an upright position about 15 cm away from the
garment being steamed.
4. Press the shot of steam button (L) on the handle at intervals of
5 seconds, however, after 4 jets of steam, wait for 10seconds
to allow for continued steam production.
7. Ironing without steam
This function enables the iron to be used for dry ironing.
1. Set the steam regulator (A) to the position.
" "
2. Select an appropriate temperature for the type of material being
ironed.
8. Spray

3. Slide open the water tank cover (B).
4. Hold the iron with the point facing down and shake it gently
until all the water has come out.
5. Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.
6. Coil the power cable (J) loosely around the heel of the iron,
before storing.
7. Store the iron in an upright position.
10. Anti-drip system ("drip stop")
This iron is equipped with an anti-drip system.
This will automatically stop the iron producing steam when the
selected temperature setting is too low to prevent water from
dripping out of the soleplate. You may hear a clicking sound when
this system is in operation.
3. Setting the temperature
The temperature control (H) adjusts the temperature of the
soleplate (E).
1. Check the temperature instructions shown on the care label of
����������������� the garment you are ironing and set the temperature control
(H) to the corresponding position by lining it up with the pointer
�� ����� (G) on the iron:

2. If you are unsure what type of material the garment is made from,
start ironing on the lowest temperature setting and increase
accordingly. If the garment is made from mixed fabrics, set the
temperature for the most delicate material.
3. For silk, woollen or synthetic materials iron the reverse side
of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray
function to prevent stains.
4. Sort your garments based on their care labels, always
starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest
temperature.
5. The pilot lamp (I) will stay lit while the iron is heating up and go
out once the selected temperature has been reached. Wait a
few seconds after the lamp goes out before you start ironing.
Once the iron is ready, you can continue to iron even if the pilot
lamp comes on again.
6. If the lamp on the top of the handle (K) is flashing, the auto
shut-off has activated. Gently move the iron side to side to
restart it.
11. Auto shut-off ("secure")
This iron is equipped with an auto-shut off system.
The "secure" auto shut-off function switches off the iron
automatically when it is not being used, thus helping to prevent
accidents and saving energy. When the appliance is first plugged
in, this function will be inactive for the first 2 minutes to allow it to
reach the set temperature.
If during ironing, the iron is not moved for a certain length of time,
the iron will automatically switch off. The length of time will depend
on the position the iron has been left in:
Horizontally (flat) or on its side:
Vertically (upright):
The pilot light on the top of the handle (K) will flash when auto
shut-off has been activated. To switch the iron back on, move it
gently from side to side. The light will stop flashing.
12. Multiple de-scaling system
This iron is equipped with the following de-scaling
features "AntiCalc".
A. self-clean
Each time you use the steam regulator (A), the "self-clean" system
cleans the mechanism of any scale deposits.
B. Calc'nclean
(model dependent)
The "calc'nclean" function helps to remove scale particles out
of the steam chamber. Use this function approximately every 2
weeks, if the water in your area is very hard.
1. Unplug the iron from the mains socket, set the steam regulator
(A) to the position and fill the water tank (D) with water.
2. Set the temperature selector to the "max" position and plug in
the iron.
3. After the necessary warm-up period, the pilot light (I) goes out.
Then, unplug the iron.
4. Hold the iron over a sink. Press the "clean" button (O) and gently
shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying
scale or deposits that might be there.
5. When the iron stops dripping, release the button, plug the
iron in and heat it up again until the remaining water has
evaporated.
6. Repeat the process if the iron still contains impurities.
4. Ironing with steam
The steam regulator (A) is used to adjust the amount of steam
produced when ironing.
1. Make sure that there is water in the tank (D).
2. Adjust the temperature setting and then set the steam regulator
according to the table below. Steam will automatically be
produced.
3. The "e" steam setting (energy saving "e" setting: 24%
energy saving*) can be used for most fabrics. The

steam setting should only be used on thick fabrics where
•
there are still wrinkles.

•••
*in comparison to the maximum steam setting of a regular
2400 Watt max Bosch iron
Note: At a temperature setting of "•", the water is not hot enough
to produce steam so the steam regulator should be set to the
position to avoid water dripping from the soleplate (E).
5. Ironing with shot of steam
This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles or to press
in a sharp crease or pleat. It cannot be used on a synthetic
setting for delicate items.
1. Set the temperature control (H) to the "•••" or "max"
position.
2. Set the steam regulator (A) to the
3. Press the jet of steam (L) button on the handle repeatedly at
intervals of 5 seconds.
C. anti-calc cartridge
The anti-calc cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-up of
scale produced during steam ironing, helping to extend the useful life
of your iron. Nevertheless, the "anti-calc" cartridge cannot remove
all of the scale that is produced naturally over time.
13. Self Cleaning
The self clean function helps remove lime scale that has built
up around the steam valve.
This should be performed once every 3 or 4 uses.
1. When the iron is cold, slide the steam regulator (A) between the

2. Heat up the iron. Before starting ironing, hold the iron horizontally
over a sink and press the jet of steam button (L) 3 or 4 times.
This will help force out any lime scale and dirt deposits through
the holes in the soleplate (E).
Optional Accessory
Fabric protection soleplate cover ("protect")
The fabric protector is used for steam-ironing delicate garments
at maximum temperature without damaging them. Use of the
protector also does away with the need for a cloth to prevent
shine on dark materials.
It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the
garment to see if it is suitable.
To attach the fabric protection soleplate cover to the iron, place the
tip of the iron into the end of the fabric protector and press the rear
of the protector upward until you hear a click. To release the fabric
protector, pull down on the clip at the rear and remove the iron.
The protective cover can be purchased from After-sales or the
Bosch eShop.
