How do i clean my bosch sensxx cosmos iron - Bosch TDA2445 Iron

If the temperature control dial of your Bosch Sensixx x DA30 iron has become stiff, you can try the following steps to make it easier to turn:

1. Unplug the iron and let it cool down completely.
2. Using a soft cloth or sponge, clean the dial and the surrounding area to remove any dust or debris.
3. Apply a small amount of WD-40 or silicone spray lubricant to the temperature control dial.
4. Slowly turn the dial back and forth a few times to distribute the lubricant and loosen up any dirt or debris that may have been causing the stiffness.
5. Wipe away any excess lubricant with a clean, dry cloth.
6. Plug in the iron and turn it on to make sure the temperature control dial is turning smoothly.

If the stiffness persists or the temperature control dial is still not turning smoothly, you may need to take your iron to a professional for repair or replacement of the dial.

see the instruction from your manual:
Check the owner's manual for your iron to learn the manufacturer's suggestions for cleaning, what water to use, and storage tips.
Soft-water systems add minerals that can harm an electric steam iron and your clothes so don't fill the iron with softened water. Instead, use filtered or distilled water.
2) if the iron does not heat a( test the power cord for open or defective b) and thermostat for adjust c) test the thermal fuse d) test the heating element for open.
God bless you

Hi,

Brown water and white scale are often the result of the water you use in the iron...

If you have scale, white vinegar will clean that...

For brown water, empty the iron, rinse out the insides with bottled water,

and then use the bottled water instead...

Here you have how to solve this issue. It has been obtained from the device's manual.
2. calc'n clean The "calc'n clean" function helps to remove scale particles from the steam dispenser. The iron includes a system to warn when the dispenser needs periodically cleaning. When the "calc 'n clean" symbol lights up on the navigation display the dispenser needs cleaning. Fill the water tank. Plug in the iron and select the temperature setting . After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron and hold it over a sink. Position the steam regulator to the "calc'n clean" position and keep it in this position. Gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out, removing any scale or deposits that might be there. When the iron stops dripping, position the regulator to the position. For improved descaling, heat up the iron again fully and press the steam button several times in quick succession. Then wait until the remaining water has evaporated from the soleplate of the iron. Once it has been cleaned, the cleaning warning must be cancelled on the navigation display. To do this, simply press and hold the on/set navigation key for more than 5 seconds, with the iron plugged in. If you do not do this, the cleaning icon will remain lit. 3. 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.

Hi
I too had the same problem. I emailed Bosch (via their website and gave them the model number and they have emailed the instructions.
This should have been with the iron in the first place!

Is this it? http://www.bosch-home.co.uk/our-products/ironing/ironing/steam-generators/TDS2556GB.html?source=browse

The left hand column of that website has a "download product manuals" link, follow that, click "Click here to download product instruction manuals." then the model number is TDS2556GB/01

The cleaning process is to fill up, heat to max, then hold steam lever across to "calc and clean" position whilst shaking gently over a sink.
