Frequently Asked Questions - Sensixx AdvancedSteam TDS4571GB BOSCH

How do I descale the Bosch Sensixx AdvancedSteam TDS4571GB?

To descale, use the self-cleaning function: fill the tank with water, set the iron to max temperature, and hold the self-clean button until steam and water flush out. Repeat if needed. Use only distilled water for best results.

Can I use tap water in this iron?

Yes, but to prevent scale buildup, Bosch recommends a mixture of tap water and distilled water (1:1) or use the integrated anti-calc system. In hard water areas, use demineralized water.

How do I use the vertical steam function?

Hold the iron upright and press the steam boost button. Direct steam onto hanging garments to remove wrinkles. Ensure the iron is at a safe distance from your body and fabrics.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

The iron switches off automatically if left unattended for 8 minutes (horizontal) or 30 seconds (vertical). This safety feature prevents accidents.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Allow the soleplate to cool, then wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a dedicated soleplate cleaning pen. Do not use scouring pads.

Why is my iron leaking water?

Leaking may occur if the iron is not hot enough for steam mode. Set temperature to at least two dots. Also, ensure the anti-drip system is working. If problem persists, check for scale buildup.

What type of water should I use?

Use a mix of tap and distilled water (50/50) to extend the life of the iron. In areas with very hard water, use demineralized water only.

How do I replace the anti-calc filter?

The anti-calc filter is integrated and not user-replaceable. Regular use of the self-cleaning function will maintain its effectiveness.

Can I iron on delicate fabrics with this iron?

Yes, the iron has adjustable temperature settings. For silk or synthetics, use the lowest temperature setting and avoid steam. The Ceranium Glide soleplate glides smoothly.

Where can I find spare parts for the TDS4571GB?

Spare parts such as soleplate, water tank, and anti-calc filter are available through Bosch customer service or authorized dealers. Check the Bosch website for replacement parts.

Descaling the filter and the boiler

Cash/Clean Advanced

(Calc'n'Clean Advanced)

To extend the life of your steam generator and to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the filter (12) and the boiler after a period of use (approximately after 50 hours). If the water is hard, increase the frequency.

Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it. If the "clean" icon flashes (three beeps may be heard at the same time), this indicates that the boiler must be rinsed. Please proceed as follows:

1. Check carefully that the appliance is cold and unplugged for more than 2 hours, and that the water tank (1) is empty.
2. Fix the iron to the base by inserting the tip of the iron into the front slot and moving the SecureLock lever (10) against the heel of the iron.
3. Place your appliance over a sink or bucket.
4. Lean the appliance on the opposite side of the filter opening.
5. Unscrew the filter (12) and take it out.
6. To wash the filter, you may:

a. Place the filter under the water tap and wash it until calc residues are removed. Squeeze the filter as indicated in the picture 6. b. Immerse the filter in tap water (250 ml) mixed with a measure (25 ml) of descaling fluid. Rinse filter thoroughly before placing it back into the boiler.

The descaling fluid can be obtained from our After-sales service or from our website.

1. Holding your steam generator in the lateral position and using a jug, fill the boiler with 1/4 litre of water and replace the filter.
2. Shake the base unit for a few moments, unscrew the filter again and empty the boiler completely over a sink or bucket.

For best results, we recommend that this operation is performed twice.

Important: before re-closing, make sure no water remains in the boiler.

1. Replace and tighten the filter.

To reset the "clean" counter, switch the station on and off twice, keeping it off for at least 30 seconds each time.

(on → 30s off → on → 30s off → on)

15

Rinsing the iron 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) Fill the tank with tap water. c) Plug in the mains cable and set the main power button (9) to the "I" position, (illuminated in red). d) Set the temperature to the setting. e) Set the steam setting to 🎨 and wait 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.
