Why is my Bosch TDS2012 not heating up?
If your Bosch Iron is not heating up, ensure that the main power switch is set to the “I” position. Also, check that the temperature control knob is not set to the “min” position; adjust the temperature selector to the desired position.
What to do if water flows through the sole plate of my Bosch TDS2012 Iron?
If your Bosch Iron is leaking water from the sole plate, the temperature control setting may be too low. Turn the temperature control to a higher setting (between “••” and “max”) and wait until the pilot light goes out. Also, if steam is being used for the first time or has not been used for a long time, point the iron away from the ironing area and press the steam release button until steam is produced. Finally, the steam generator may contain too much scale, so clean the boiler as described in section “Calc’n’Clean” (F).
Why am I losing pressure while ironing with my Bosch Iron?
If you experience loss of pressure during ironing with your Bosch Iron, it is because the steam release button activated during a long period of time. Use the steam release button with intervals. This improves the ironing result as the textiles will be dried and stay smooth better.

If you notice water leakage from the boiler of your Bosch Iron, the drainage plug located at the bottom of the appliance is loose. Tighten up boiler drainage plug with a coin.
Why is dirt coming out of my Bosch TDS2012 Iron?
If your Bosch Iron is emitting dirt through the sole plate, it could be due to a build-up of scale or minerals in the steam tank. To resolve this, use tap water mixed 50% with distilled or demineralised water, or if the tap water in your district is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2. Also, ensure that no chemical products or additives have been used. Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth, and never add products to the boiler water.
What to do if garment sticks to the soleplate of my Bosch TDS2012 Iron?

Why does my Bosch TDS2012 Iron smoke when I turn it on?
If your Bosch Iron begins to smoke when switched on, during first use, this is completely normal and will stop after a short while, as certain components on the appliance have been lightly greased at the factory. During later use, the soleplate may be soiled, so clean the soleplate according to the cleaning instructions in this manual.
