This appliance is to be connected and used in

accordance with the information stated on its

characteristics plate.

This appliance must be connected to an

earthed socket. If it is absolutely necessary

to use an extension cable, make sure that it

is suitable for 16A and has a socket with an

In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions, phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0.28 Q. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.

The appliance must never be placed directly under the tap to fill the water tank.

Unplug the appliance from the mains supply after each use, or if a fault is suspected.

The electrical plug must not be removed from the socket by pulling the cable.

Never immerse the iron in water or any other fluid.

Do not leave the appliance exposed to weather conditions (rain, sun, frost, etc.).

3. Close the water inlet lid.

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

You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water supplier.

2. Setting the temperature

TSce the leaflet sides The temperature control (12) adjusts the temperature of the soleplate (7).

Set the temperature control to the corresponding position by lining it up with the temperature index (9) on the iron.

Temperature Suitable for: 0 Synthetics . Silk — Woo! .… Cotton max Linen

The pilot light (13*) switches on while the appliance is heating up and switches off as soon as the set temperature is reached. If the temperature of the hot iron drops, you can continue ironing while the iron heats up again to the set temperature.

TSce the leaflet sides This can be used to remove stubborn wrinkles. Do not use the spray function with silk.

9. “secure” auto shut-off function *

The “secure” auto shut-off function switches off the iron when it is left unattended, thus increasing security and saving energy. If your iron is equipped with “secure” function, you can find the text ‘auto off” on handle. 1. Plug in the iron. 2. Initial heating up process: this function will be inactive for the first two minutes in order to give the appliance time to reach the set temperature.

3. The safety circuit will switch the appliance off automatically and the pilot light (15*) will start flashing in the following cases:

@ ff the iron is not moved for 30 seconds while resting on its soleplate or on its side.

© ffthe iron is not moved for 8 minutes while in the upright position.

4. To reconnect the iron, just move it about gently.

10. “SensorSecure” function *

See the leaflt sides

The “SensorSecure” function makes the iron heat up only when the handle is gripped, and stop heating when the handle is no longer gripped. Thus, safety and saving energy get increased.

If your iron is equipped with “SensorSecure” function, you can find the text “SensorSecure” on handle.

1. Plug in the iron.

2.“SensorSecure” light (16*) flashes when

the handle is not gripped, and will show a continuous light when the handle is gripped. Ifthe iron handle is released for more

than 10 seconds, the iron will stop heating automatically.

BOSCH ENGLISH ENGLISH Tips to help you save y

Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:

1. Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing temperature. Check the recommended ironing temperature in the label on the garment.

2. Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing temperature, following the instructions in this manual.

3 Only use steam if necessary. lf possible, use the spray function instead.

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.

If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry program.

4. If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator (3) completely.

5. Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.

Cleaning & Maintenance

À Attention! Risk of burns!

Always unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation on it.

1. If the iron is only slightly soiled, pull out the plug and allow the soleplate (7) to cool down. Wipe the housing and the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only.

2. Ifthe cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the high temperature on the soleplate, switch off the steam and rub off any residue immediately with a thickly folded, dry cotton cloth.

3. To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the soleplate.

Multiple descaling system

Each time you use the steam regulator (3), the “self-clean” system cleans the mechanism of scale deposits.

The “Calc'nClean’ function helps to remove scale particles out of the steam chamber. Use this function approximately every 2 weeks if the water in your area is very hard.

© Unplug the iron from the mains socket, set the steam regulator (3) to the [x] position and fill the water tank (11) with water.

@ Set the temperature control (12) to the “max” position and plug in the iron.

© After the necessary warm-up period, the lamp goes out. Then, unplug the iron (very important!).

@ Set steam regulator to the “max” position.

@ Hold the iron over a sink. Press the “clean” button (10) and shake the iron until approximately one third of the water capacity ofthe tank is evaporated. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying scale or deposits that might be there.

@ Release the “clean” button, and gently shake the iron for some seconds.

@ Repeat the steps 5 and 6 three times until the tank is empty.

© Then plug the iron in and heat it up again until the remaining water has evaporated.

© Unplug the iron and let the soleplate (7) cool down. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only.

The “anti-calc” cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-up 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.
