Frequently Asked Questions - Sensixx B25L professional TDS2555 BOSCH

What type of water to use?

Use tap water. To extend the life, mix equal parts with distilled water (1:1). If the water is very hard, mix 1 part tap water with 2 parts distilled water (1:2). Never use perfume, vinegar, or descaling products.

How to descale the steam station?

When the Calc'n clean light (9) comes on (every 50 hours), let the appliance cool for 2 hours, empty the tank, place the appliance over the sink, remove the drain plug at the bottom, pour 1/4 L of water into the boiler, shake and empty. Repeat twice. Screw the plug back on and reset the light by turning the station off twice (30 seconds minimum each time).

Why does water come out of the soleplate?

This can happen if the temperature is not high enough for steam or if condensation has formed in the hoses. If ironing at a low temperature, reduce the steam flow. To remove condensation, place the iron away from the laundry and press the steam button until steam is produced.

How to use the steam gun?

Unplug the iron, lift the cover, and insert the plug of the steam gun. Turn on the station and set the temperature to max. Use the gun in intervals of 10 seconds maximum. Never direct steam toward people or animals.

What to do if the iron does not heat up?

Check that the main switch (8) is in position I and that the temperature button (15) is not on min. Make sure the plug is properly inserted and that the fuse has not blown.

How to store the appliance after use?

Let the iron cool down. Set the switches to Off/Stop and unplug. Place the iron horizontally on the support. Empty the water tank. Wind the cord on the cord winder and fasten the steam hose with the clip.

Why is the soleplate stained or leaving marks?

Mineral deposits or too high temperature can dirty the soleplate. Clean it with a damp cloth after cooling. Use a mixture of distilled water to reduce deposits. Avoid using chemical products.

What is the 'Intelligent Steam' function?

After releasing the steam button, a small amount of additional steam is released for better results. You can stop it by pressing the button again briefly.

How to use the textile protection soleplate?

Place the tip of the iron into the end of the protector and pull the elastic band over the heel of the iron until it fits snugly. Use it for steam ironing at maximum temperature without damaging delicate fabrics.

What does the red 'Water tank empty' light mean?

The water tank is empty. You can refill it at any time without turning off the station. Remove the detachable tank, fill it without exceeding the max level, then replace it on the base.

6. Set the boiler button (4) and main power button (8) switches to the "Start/I" position.
7. The "Steam ready" indicator lamp (3) will light up after several minutes, indicating that the appliance is ready to use.

The steam generator will take more time to reach "Steam ready" state only upon the initial heating up, or after performing the de-scaling operation (Calc'n clean).

When water is already present in the steam generator during regular use, heat up time to reach the operating temperature will be faster.

1. This appliance has a built-in water level sensor. The red "refill water tank" indicator (10) will light when the water tank is empty.

Important:

• Normal tap water can be used.

To prolong the optimum steam function, 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.

• The water tank can be filled at any time while using the appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the water tank and the boiler, do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, additives or any other type of chemical product into the water tank.

Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products, will make the guarantee void.

• The iron is not designed to rest on its heal. Please always position it horizontally on the iron pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the specially designed recess on the appliance or somewhere suitable alongside the ironing area.

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 (15)

“•” Synthetics

“●●” Silk – Wool
“●●●” Cotton – Linen

1. The indicator lamp (16) 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

Controlling the pressure

Your steam station is equipped with a pressure gauge (6) which shows the pressure it works at every moment.

Dial of the gauge is divided into three areas

1. White area shows low pressure (during first heating or loss of pressure during the ironing. In this case, read Trouble Shooting section)
   2 Green area is the one in which the station works normally and pressure should be within it during ironing
   3 Red area shows high pressure and during normal use should not be reached. In case your steam station reaches it frequently, it will have to be checked by a technical service centre

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 (5)

4. Press the steam release button to release steam (17) 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 (17).

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 (17).

Never direct the steam jet at garments that are being worn.

Never aim the steam at people or animals.

Stain remover steam gun

Preparation:

Ensure that the appliance is not connected to the mains. Remove connection plug for the iron (7) if this is connected. Then lift the cover (31) and insert the connection plug for the steam gun in the correct position

- with slot 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 (20), 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 wich you would like to refresh on hangers.

- With diffuser (23) the sprayed steam enables superficial fabric creases to be lessened.

• Comb brush (25) can be used for refreshing and gently combing pile within fabric. Also, for general purpose cleaning and refreshing of garments, fabrics, upholstery and to remove fluffs
• Fabric cleanser (24) to be used with more delicate garments such as velour, velvet and suede, for refreshing and combing pile within material and for removing pet hair/fur, dandruff, crumbs etc.

Fully insert the accesory into the concentrator (21). Press the steam release button (20) 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 (21) and brush extension (22) 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 (21) 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 (22) 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.

Intelligent steam

(depending on model)

This system has intelligent steam control, which, after releasing the steam release button (17), provides a small amount of additional steam.

The additional steam can always be stopped by briefly pressing the steam release button once again.

Cleaning & Maintenance

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

1. After ironing, pull out the plug and allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
2. Wipe the housing, handle and iron body with a damp cloth.
3. If the soleplate is soiled with dirt or scale, clean it with a damp cloth.
4. Never use abrasive products or solvents.

en

Storing the appliance (D)

"Calc'n clean" (E)

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 the water is hard, increase the frequency.

Approximately after 50 hours of use, "Calc'n clean" pilot light (9) will light up indicating that boiler must be rinsed.

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. Remove the plastic cover located on the bottom of the appliance by turning it to the position.
4. Unscrew the boiler drainage plug located on the bottom of the appliance using a coin.

5. 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

6. Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely over a sink or bucket. To obtain the best result, we recommend that this operation is done twice
   Important: before re-closing, make sure no water remains in the boiler.

7. Replace and tighten up the boiler drainage plug with a coin.
8. Insert and close the plastic cover by turning it to the position.

To reset "Calc'n clean" pilot light and hours counter, switch the station off twice, keeping it off during at least 30 seconds each time

Fabric protection soleplate cover (F)

(depending on the model)

The fabric-protection soleplate cover is used for steam-ironing delicate garments at maximum temperature without damaging them. Use of the soleplate cover also does away with the need for a cloth to prevent shine on dark materials.

It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the garment to see if it is suitable.

To attach the soleplate cover to the iron, place the tip of the iron into the end of the soleplate cover and pull the elastic strap over the lower rear of the iron until it fits tightly. To release the soleplate cover, pull the elastic strap and remove the iron.

The fabric-protection soleplate cover may be purchased from the customer service or specialist shops:
