Rinsing The Iron Steam Chamber - Bosch TDS4570GB Operating Instructions Manual

Rinsing the iron
15
steam chamber
Caution! Risk of burns!
This procedure helps to remove scale
particles from the steam chamber.
This cleaning procedure may be
performed occasionally (approximately
once a year), when after a long period
of use with very hard water, scale
particles start to come out of the
soleplate.
a) Ensure that the iron has cooled
down.
b) Set the temperature to the
setting.
c) Fill the tank with tap water.
d) Plug in the mains cable and set
the main power button (9) to the "I"
position, (illuminated in red).
e) Set the steam setting to
until the icon stops flashing.
f) Hold the iron over the sink or a
container to collect the water.
g) Press the steam release button (13)
and gently shake the iron. Boiling
water and steam will be released,
carrying scale and/ or deposits that
might be inside. This process may
take from 5 up to 10 minutes. Please
note that if you have filled the water
tank to the maximum, you do not have
to continue until it is completely empty,
but just long enough so that there are
no more scale deposits appearing
from your iron hand set.
h) Set the temperature to the
setting, without pressing the steam
release buttons (13-14*).
The water in the steam chamber will
start evaporating. Wait until all the
water inside the chamber has been
evaporated.
i) To clean the soleplate, immediately
rub off any residue by running the hot
iron over a dry cotton cloth.
