Cleaning your Bosch iron mainly involves addressing the exterior housing and soleplate. Here's how:
Cleaning the Housing and Soleplate
-
Use a Damp Cotton Cloth: Wipe the housing and the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth only.
-
Dealing with Synthetic Cloth Issues: If you accidentally use a synthetic cloth, it may melt on the hot soleplate.
- Immediately switch off the steam function.
- Quickly rub off any residue using a thickly folded, damp cotton cloth.
| Part | Cleaning Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Housing | Damp cotton cloth | Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. |
| Soleplate | Damp cotton cloth, Thickly folded if synthetic | Be careful when the soleplate is hot. Avoid scratching the surface. |
Important Considerations
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the soleplate's surface.
- Safety First: Always unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Steam Vents: To clean the steam vents, use the iron's self-cleaning function if available, or consult the user manual for specific instructions.
