Filling the water tank
Unplug the iron from the mains!
• Open the water inlet lid (9).
• Never fill beyond the level mark for
maximum filling (12).
• Use only clean water from the tap without
mixing anything with it. The addition of other
liquids, (unless recommended by Bosch) such
as perfume, will damage the appliance.
Any damage caused by the use of the
aforemen tioned products will make the
guarantee void.
• Do not use condensation water from tumble
dryers, air conditioning systems or similar. This
appliance has been designed to use normal tap
water.
• 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.

Setting the
temperature
The temperature control (15) adjusts the
temperature of the soleplate (13).
• Check the temperature instructions shown on
the care label of the garment you are ironing.
• Set the temperature control (15) to the
corresponding position by lining it up with the
temperature index (14) on the iron.
•
Synthetics
••
Silk – Wool
•••
Cotton – Linen
• Sort your garments based on their care labels,
always starting with clothes that have to be
ironed at the lowest temperature.
• If you are unsure what type of material the
garment is made from, start ironing on the
lowest temperature setting and increase
accordingly. If the garment is made from
mixed fabrics, set the temperature for the most
delicate material.
• For silk, woollen or synthetic materials iron
the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny
patches. Avoid using the spray function to
prevent stains.

Steam can be generated by gripping the handle
(1), or by pressing the steam activation button
(2*).
If the “eco” steam mode is selected, the energy
consumption of the appliance will be reduced
by means of reduction of electricity and water
consumption. A good ironing result can be
obtained on this setting for most garments.
The steam setting can be changed by pressing
the steam setting selection button (4). The iron
runs through the following cycle:
eco max steam off
SensorSteam
The “SensorSteam” function automatically
switches off the iron when the handle is no longer
gripped, thus increasing safety and energy
saving.
When plugging the iron in, during the first
minute:
• The soleplate (13) heats up to the temperature
corresponding to the selected setting.
• The steam generation is blocked.
• The green lamp (5) flashes.
After the initial 1 minute period:
• “eco” setting is automatically selected.
• The green lamp (5) stops flashing.
• The “ActiveControl Advanced” indicator lamp
(3) (clear light) goes on and starts flashing.
From this moment on, when the handle (1) of
the iron is gripped or if the steam activation
button (2*) is pressed at steam setting.
• The “ActiveControl Advanced” indicator
lamp (3) stops flashing.
