Frequently Asked Questions - Sensixx TDS2510 BOSCH

How to descale the Sensixx TDS2510 iron?

Use the self-cleaning function: fill the tank with water, set the maximum temperature, unplug and hold the iron horizontally over the sink, then press the self-cleaning button until water flows out. Repeat if necessary.

What water to use in this Bosch iron?

It is recommended to use untreated tap water. Do not use distilled or demineralized water alone, as it could damage the steam system.

What to do if the iron does not produce steam?

Check that the tank is filled and the temperature is high enough (indicator light off). If the problem persists, activate the anti-calc cleaning to remove blockages.

How to use the vertical steam function?

Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters from the garment, press the steam boost button while sweeping top to bottom to dewrinkle curtains or jackets.

The iron turns off by itself, is this normal?

Yes, the iron is equipped with a safety auto shut-off after 8 minutes of inactivity. To reactivate it, shake it or set it upright.

How to clean the ceramic soleplate?

Wait for the iron to cool down, then clean the soleplate with a damp cloth that is not abrasive. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Can I iron delicate fabrics with this iron?

Yes, set the temperature to the level suitable for the fabric (silk, synthetic) and use the variable steam function at a low rate.

How to store the iron after use?

Empty the water tank, let the iron cool down, then wrap the cord around the base. Store it upright on its heel.

Where to find spare parts for the TDS2510?

Parts like the calc collector or soleplate are available online on the Bosch website or from authorized dealers.

The iron drips water, how to solve this problem?

Make sure the selected temperature is suitable for steam use. If the iron is too cold, water may leak. Activate the anti-drip function by increasing the temperature.

Never rest the iron on the appliance without the iron pad!.

• During it first use the iron may produce certain vapours and odours, along with white particles on the soleplate, this is normal and it will stop after a few minutes
• While the steam release button is pressed, the water tank may produce a pumping sound. This is normal, indicating that water is being pumped to the steam tank.

Setting the temperature

1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment to determine the correct ironing temperature.
2. Select the temperature (13)

«●» Synthetics «●●» Silk – Wool «●●●» Cotton – Linen

1. The indicator lamp (14) will remain lit while the iron is heating and go out as soon as the iron has reached the selected temperature.

Tips:

• Sort your garments out based on their cleaning symbol labels, always starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made of, then begin ironing at a low temperature and decide on the correct temperature by ironing a small section not usually seen when worn.

Ironing with steam (B)

1. Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2. Turn the temperature selector to the steam position, between «●●» and «max».
3. Set the amount of steam to suit your needs, using the variable steam control (3).
4. Press the steam release button to release steam (15).

Important:

The steam hose may get hot if you are ironing for long periods.

Ironing without steam

1. Begin ironing but without pressing the steam release button (15).

Vertical steam (C)

1. Set the temperature control to the «●●●» or «max» position.
2. You can steam iron curtains and hanging garments (jackets, suits, coats...) by placing the iron in a vertical position and pressing the steam release button (15).

Stain remover steam gun

Preparation: (only for TDS2540, TDS2545)

Ensure that the appliance is not connected to the mains. Remove connection plug for the iron (5) if this is connected. Then lift the cover (23) and insert the connection plug for the steam gun in the correct position - with slot (22) to the left - Then follow the same steps as for ironing, the indicator lights and switches operate in exactly the same way.

Important:

When the gun is being used, while pushing Steam release button (18), there might be some water drops, but this is normal.

Attention

• Use the steam gun in intervals of no longer than 10 seconds at a time.
• Direct the first steam jets towards a cloth in order to eliminate any possible water condensation residue from the steam tube.
• Never direct the steam jet at garments that are being worn by people or animals.
• Do not use the brush extension for delicate fabrics such as silk or cashmere.

To refresh fabrics

Refreshing garments with the steam gun can lessen creases and wrinkles, although this does not substitute ironing with the iron. For better results, hang the clothes which you would like to refresh on hangers.

With diffuser (21) the sprayed steam enables superficial fabric creases to be lessened.

Fully insert the accessory into the concentrator (19). Press the steam release button (18) for the steam supply and direct the jet towards the fabric that you would like to refresh. Maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm to avoid getting the fabric too damp.

To remove fabric stains

The steam gun can help to remove washable, fresh stains.

The concentrator (19) and brush extension (20) supply a concentrated jet of steam that makes it possible to remove certain types of fabric stains.

• If the stain is not fresh, the garment should be washed in a washing machine or hand-washed according to the garment care label.
• For stubborn or non-washable stains, take the garment to a specialist cleaning centre or dry cleaners.

Use the concentrator (19) to direct the steam jet at the stain, in direction from the outer side of the garment into the fabric placing a sponge or cloth underneath it to absorb the dirt. The brush extension (20) can also be used with gentle action to support the cleaning effect.

If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with an authorised technical service centre.

Cleaning the Boiler

To extend the life of your steam generator and to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler after several hours of use. If your water is hard, increase the frequency.

Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.

1. Check that the appliance is cold and unplugged for more than 2 hours, and that the removable water tank (1) is empty.
2. Place your appliance on the edge of your kitchen sink.
3. Unscrew the boiler drainage plug located on the bottom of the appliance using a coin.
4. Holding your steam generator in upside down position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the base unit) with 1/4 litre of water
