Why does my Bosch VarioComfort 8 Iron begin to smoke when switched on?
The iron may smoke when first used because certain components have been lightly greased at the factory. It is also possible that the soleplate is soiled.

What to do if the ironed garment turns a dark colour or sticks to the soleplate of my Bosch VarioComfort 8?
If the ironed garment turns a dark color or sticks to the soleplate, it may be because the selected temperature is too high and has damaged the garment, or the iron descaling process has been stopped before being completed. Select a suitable temperature for the material being ironed and clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
What to do if the “Calc'nClean” indicator light (3) does not turn off on my Bosch VarioComfort 8?
