Frequently Asked Questions - Sensixx'x DI90 MotorSteam AntiShine TDI9020GB BOSCH

What type of water should I use?

Use normal tap water. Do not use additives like perfume, vinegar, starch, or chemicals, as they damage the appliance and void the guarantee.

How does the SensorSteam function work?

SensorSteam automatically shuts off the iron when the handle is released, increasing safety and saving energy. The indicator lamp flashes when active. Grip the handle to restart.

What is the i-Temp programme?

The i-Temp programme automatically sets the optimal temperature and steam level for all ironable fabrics (check care label). It is suitable for synthetics, silk, wool, cotton, and linen.

How do I use the AntiShine programme?

The AntiShine programme is for dark and delicate fabrics to reduce shiny marks. For best results, iron fabrics while still damp after washing.

How do I use the Hygienic programme?

The Hygienic programme combines temperature and interval steam for a sanitizing effect. Set steam mode to 'max' for maximum efficiency.

How do I use the shot of steam function?

Press the shot of steam button repeatedly with at least 5-second pauses. Set temperature to at least '●●' (silk/wool). Use for stubborn wrinkles or sharp creases.

How do I clean the iron using the Calc'n Clean function?

Unplug, fill tank with descaling liquid (25 ml) and water to max. Plug in, set to max, wait until TempOK light is steady, unplug, hold over sink, press clean button, shake horizontally until about 1/3 water evaporates, then repeat steps.

Why is my iron not heating up?

The SensorSteam function may have activated stand-by. Grip the handle to re-start the iron. Also check that the iron is plugged in and the temperature control is set.

Why is steam not coming out when ironing?

Ensure that dry ironing mode is not selected. Press SET button to choose 'eco' or 'max' steam mode. Also check water level and horizontal position.

What should I do if water drips from the soleplate?

This may occur if the shot of steam button is pressed too frequently (less than 5 seconds apart). Wait 5 seconds between presses. Also ensure the 'clean' button is properly closed.
