Tips to help you save energy

Steam production consumes the most energy. To

help minimise the energy used, follow the advice

1. Start by ironing the fabrics that require

the lowest ironing temperature. Check the

recommended ironing temperature in the label

2. Regulate the steam according to the selected

ironing temperature, following the instructions

3 Only use steam if necessary. If 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

If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing

them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’

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

 See the leaet sides

E 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.16 B O S C H * Model dependent ENglISH 2. If the 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, damp 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. AntiCalc Multiple descaling system
