Thank you for buying the TDS12 steam iron from
Bosch.
This iron is a compact steam generator. The water
is pumped into the steam chamber with pressure
by a special pump. The steam amount when ironing
is higher than in conventional irons. The steaming
performance is therefore far more effective. In
general it is advised to use the iron with the “eco”
setting.
This appliance has been designed exclusively for
domestic use and must not be used for industrial
purposes.
Carefully read through the operating instructions
for the appliance and safeguard them for future
reference.
