1. Filling the water tank

See the leaet sides This appliance has been designed to use normal tap water.

• The addition of other liquids, (unless recommended by Bosch) such as perfume, will damage the appliance.

• Do not use condensation water from tumble dryers, air conditioning systems or similar. Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products will make the guarantee void.

2. Fill the water tank (11). Never ll beyond the

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

See the leaet 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: ● Synthetics ●● Silk – Wool ●●● Cotton max Linen The 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.

function * See the leaet sides 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 nd the text “auto off” on handle.

1. Plug in the iron.

2. Initial heating up process: this function will

be inactive for the rst 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 indicator light (15*) will start ashing in the following cases:

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

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

4. To reconnect the iron, just move it about

1. Switch the steam regulator (3) from to “max”

and back again several times (self- cleaning).

2. Empty the tank. Hold the iron with the point

down and shake lightly.

3. Store standing on the rear, not on the base.

4. Do not wrap the power cord (14) too tight!

Tips to help you save energy 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. 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 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

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

See the leaet sides a self-clean Each time you use the steam regulator (3), the “self-clean” system cleans the mechanism of scale deposits. B Calc’nClean 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 position and ll 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 light (13) 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 of the 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. Push the “clean” button a few times more to clean the valve.

Unplug the iron and let the soleplate (7) cool down. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only. C “Calc’nClean” with descaling liquid * For deep descaling, it is recommended to use the descaling liquid especially developed by Bosch. This procedure should be carried out every 3 months.

1. Fill the water tank (11) with tap water mixed

with a measure (25 ml) of the descaling liquid (17 *).

2. Then follow the procedure described above in

section “Calc’nClean” (steps 2 to 9). The descaling liquid may be purchased from our after-sales service or specialist shops. Name of accessory: TDZ1101 D anti-calc* 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. TextileProtect “TextileProtect” fabric protector *

See the leaet sides The fabric protector (16 *) is used for steam-ironing delicate garments at maximum temperature without damaging them. The fabric protector may be purchased from our after-sales service or specialist shops. Name of accessory: TDZ1550 StoreProtect “StoreProtect” * The “StoreProtect” accessory (18 *) enables an immediate and safe storage of the iron, even with a hot soleplate (7).
