2. Set the temperature selector (I) to the “max” position and plug in the iron. 3. After the necessary warm-up period, the pilot light (K) goes out. Then, unplug the iron (very important!). 4. Hold the iron over a sink. Press the “clean” button (G) until approximately one third of the water capacity of the tank is evaporated. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying scale or deposits that might be there. 5. Release the “clean” button, and gently shake the iron for some seconds. 6. Repeat the steps 4 and 5 three times until the tank is empty. Then plug the iron in and heat it up again until the remaining water has evaporated. 7. Unplug the iron and let the soleplate (F) cool down. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only. C. anti-calc cartridge The anti-calc cartridge has been designed to reduce the buildup 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. 12 Anti-drip system “Drip Stop” The irons in this range are 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. 13 “SensorSecure” The “SensorSecure” function switches off the iron when the handle is no longer gripped, thus increasing safety and saving energy. After plugging in the appliance, this function will be inactive for the first two minutes while the iron heats up to the set temperature. Immediately after releasing the handle of the iron, the pilot light (N) at the front of the handle will start flashing, indicating that the iron is about to switch itself off. If the iron handle is not gripped again within 10 seconds, it will shut off automatically. When the handle is gripped again, the iron will automatically switch itself back on and will start heating again. The pilot light (N) at the front of the handle will stop flashing and will show a continuous light. Important: If the iron is left unattended for more than ten minutes, once the handle is momentarily or continuously gripped again, the initial two minute heat up process will start again. Plug in the appliance Pilot light flashes whilst the iron is heating up Pilot light remains constant when handle is gripped Pilot light will start flashing the moment the handle is released Fabric protection soleplate cover “Protect” (Model Dependent) Some irons in this range are equipped with a fabric protection soleplate cover 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 online shop.

To keep the soleplate in good condition, do not allow it to come into contact with metal objects. 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 (I) to the “•••” or “max” position. 2. Set the steam regulator (C) to the position. 3. Press the shot of steam (A) button on the handle repeatedly at intervals of 5 seconds. 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.
