Frequently Asked Questions - TDS6080TR BOSCH

What type of water should I use in the Bosch TDS6080TR steam station?

Use normal tap water. Do not add any additives like perfume, vinegar, starch, or chemicals. For very hard water, mix with distilled water in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio.

How do I know when the water tank is empty?

The 'Water tank empty' indicator light (4) will come on and three beeps will sound. Refill the tank and press button (4) to reset.

What does the i-Temp programme do?

The i-Temp programme automatically sets the optimal temperature and steam level for all ironable fabrics, preventing damage from incorrect temperature selection. It is suitable for all fabrics with the ironing symbol on the care label.

How do I use the PulseSteam function for tough creases?

Press the steam release button (15) twice quickly (double-click) to release powerful shots of steam to tackle difficult creases.

Can I use vertical steam on hanging clothes?

How do I perform the descaling process?

Ensure the appliance is cold and unplugged. Empty the boiler and fill with about 300 ml of tap water, shake, and empty. For the iron, fill the tank, plug in, press the descaling button (3) for 2 seconds, then press the steam release button for 2 seconds when ready. Follow manual steps carefully.

Why does the iron smoke when first switched on?

It's normal during first use as components may have light grease. The smoke will stop shortly. If it continues after initial use, clean the soleplate according to the manual.

What should I do if the Calc'nClean indicator light doesn't turn off?

The descaling process may have been interrupted. Restart and complete the full iron descaling process as described in the manual.

How does the auto switch-off feature work?

The appliance automatically switches off after 8 minutes of inactivity. You'll hear three beeps and all indicator lights will flash. Press the steam release button to turn it back on.

Using your appliance

1. Filling the water tank

This appliance has been designed to use normal tap water.

Important: Do not use additives! The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, vinegar, starch, condensation water from tumble dryers or air conditioning systems, or chemicals will damage the appliance. Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products will make the guarantee void!

1 Open the filling lid (12).
2 Fill the water tank (10). Never fill beyond the level "max" (11) for maximum filling!
3 Close the filling lid.

Refill the water tank when the indicator light (4) comes on. Three beeps will be heard.

Important: Once refilled, press button (4).

Tip: To prolong the optimum steam function, you may mix tap water with distilled or demineralised water 1:1. If the tap water in your area is very hard, mix tap water with distilled or demineralised water 1:2.

2. Heating

1 If your steam station is equipped with an iron lock system (14*), release the iron by pressing the 🔒 button.
2 Unwind the steam hose (6) and the mains cable (7). Plug mains cable into an earthed socket.
3 Turn programme selector (1) to choose the kind of fabric to be ironed.
4 Press the button (2) to switch the appliance on. Indicator lights (2, 16) will flash indicating that the appliance is heating up.

5 When the iron is ready to use, the indicator lights (2, 16) will remain permanently lit. Two beeps will be heard.

3. Ironing programmes

The wool cycle of this iron has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the ironing of pure wool products provided that the products are ironed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this iron. R1503.

2 Wait until the indicator lights (2, 16) remain lit permanently. Two beeps will be heard.

“i-Temp” programme

If this program is selected, an appropriate combination of temperature and steam is set, which is suitable for all fabrics that can be ironed (symbols 🐎). The “i-Temp” program prevents clothes from being damaged due to an unsuitable temperature being selected. The “i-Temp” program does not apply to fabrics that cannot be ironed (symbol 🐎). Please check the garment care label for details or try ironing on a part of the cloth not visible normally.

"Hygiene" programme

Suitable for all kinds of fabrics and extremely efficient for both thick and delicate garments. The unique combination of temperature and interval steam provides a sanitizing effect requiring no chemical additives.

1 Place the iron on the garment or fabric you want to disinfect.

2 Continuously press the steam release button (15) to release powerful shots of hygienic steam. Slowly iron the whole garment to enhance the final result.

Note: The energy saving setting "Eco" cannot be activated while the "Hygiene" programme is selected.

Note: The "Hygiene" programme changes automatically to "i-Temp" after 20 minutes. The change will be indicated by 3 beeps and the indicator lights (2, 16) will flash 5 times. If you want to continue using the "Hygiene" programme, you would have to change to another programme by turning the programme selector (1) and then coming back to the "Hygiene" programme again.

4. Ironing

1 Press the steam release button (15) for ironing with steam.

Important: When placing the iron on the pad, be sure to first insert the heel in the upper side of the control panel, as shown in the figure.

Tip: For better ironing results, iron the last strokes without pressing the steam release button (15) to dry the garment.

"PulseSteam" function

This appliance has a special function for tackling difficult creases.

1 Press the steam release button (15) two times in quick succession (double-click). Powerful shots of steam will be released.

Vertical steam

Can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc.

2 Hold the iron in an upright position 15 cm away from the garment to be steamed.
3 Press the steam release button (15) repeatedly with pauses of at least 5 seconds.

Warning! : never point the steam jet at garments being worn, or at people or animals.

5. Energy saving

If the energy saving setting is selected, you can save energy and water and still achieve good results when ironing most of your garments.

1 Press the energy saving button "Eco" (5). The indicator light will come on.
2 To switch back to the normal energy setting, press the "Eco" button again. It is advisable to use the normal energy setting to get optimum results on thick and very wrinkled fabrics.

Tips to help you save energy:

• If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the iron dry programme.
• Try to iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.

1 To switch the steam station back on, press the steam release button (15) again.

Cleaning & Maintenance

1. Descaling process

The “Calc'nClean” indicator light (3) will flash and three beeps will be heard, indicating that the process should be performed. You may continue ironing, but before the next use, while the appliance is cold, a descaling process should be performed.

Warning: the container must only be used to perform the descaling process. It must not be used as a stand for the iron while ironing.
6 Press the steam release button (15) for 2 seconds. The descaling process will start automatically. Warning: boiling water and steam will be released through the soleplate, carrying limescale and/or deposits that may be inside. During the process, a beep will be heard every 5 seconds.
7 After approximately 3 minutes, the iron will stop releasing steam. A long beep will be heard, indicating that descaling process has finished. The appliance will switch off automatically.
8 To clean the soleplate (17), immediately rub off any residue by running the hot iron over a wet cotton cloth.

2. Cleaning the appliance

Regularly clean your appliance for properly maintenance. Attention! Burn risk!

1 If the appliance is only slightly soiled, wipe it with a damp cotton cloth only, and then dry it.
2 If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the high temperature on the soleplate. Switch the steam off and rub off any residue immediately with a thickly folded, damp cotton cloth.
3 To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid contact with hard metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the soleplate.

1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Empty the water tank (10).
2 Place the iron on the steam station, standing on the pad (13). If your steam station is equipped with iron lock system (14*), fix the iron to it. First insert the heel and then block the tip moving the lock system against the iron.
3 Store the steam hose (6) and the mains cable (7) on the storage holder (8).
