User manual BOSCH SENSIXX B1

[. . . ] If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cable, make sure that it is suitable for 16A or more and has a socket with an earth connection. In order to avoid that, under unfavourable mains conditions, phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can happen, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point. Keep the appliance out of children’s reach. [. . . ] When the steam iron has reached the desired temperature (pilot light switches off), start steaming by setting the steam regulator to “2” and by repeatedly pressing the button . When using the steam function for the first time, do not apply it on the laundry, as there could still be dirt in the steam dispenser. Your new iron may smell and give off some smoke when you use it for the first time, this is normal and will cease after a short while. How to use the iron Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature. If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article. Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres. Silk, woollen or synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. avoid using the spray function to prevent stains. Depending on the model, this range is equipped with the “AntiCalc” (=component 1 + 2 + 3) descaling system. Self-clean Each time you use the steam regulator, the “self-clean” system cleans the mechanism of scale deposits. Calc’n clean The “calc’n clean” function helps to remove scale particles out of the steam chamber. 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’ programme. € If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator completely. € Stand the iron upright during pauses. €Secure” auto shut-off function • •• ••• Synthetics Silk – Wool Cotton – Linen (Depending on model) The “Secure” auto shut-off function switches off the iron when it is left unattended, thus increasing security and saving energy. After plugging in the appliance, this function will be inactive for the first two minutes in order to give the appliance time to reach the set temperature. 8 Filling the water tank Set the steam regulator to the “0”position and unplug the iron from the mains!Use only clean water from the tap without mixing anything with it. The addition of other liquids, 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 conditionings or similar. [. . . ] Turn the steam regulator to a lower position. Remove the needle and clean it, if this does not help, contact the Technical Service. Make sure to place the steam regulator in position “0”. Do not forget to empty the tank when you have finished ironing. [. . . ]
