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:
Unplug the iron and let it cool down completely.
Using a soft cloth or sponge, clean the dial and the surrounding area to remove any dust or debris.
Apply a small amount of WD-40 or silicone spray lubricant to the temperature control dial.
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.
Wipe away any excess lubricant with a clean, dry cloth.
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.
Here I'm going to tell you the basics of cleaning your Rowenta iron :
Things You'll Need:1:Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit 2: Ironing board 3:Clean, dry cloth 4:Two cotton terry cloths, such as washcloths
Now to the cleaning :
1:Pour out any water from the iron. Turn the steam iron on to the "Cotton"
setting, which is the one with three dots on the settings dial.
2:Cover an area of the ironing board with a clean, dry cloth. Fold one
washcloth or other piece of cotton terry cloth in half and place it onto
the cloth on the ironing board.
3:Dispense a 2-inch long daub of cleaning solution onto the terry cloth.
Run the heated iron over the cloth directly on the cleaning solution.
Move the steam iron in a circular motion over the cleaner on the cloth
for a minute or two.
4:Remove the steam iron from the cloth. Carefully wipe any remaining
cleaning solution from the soleplate using the second terry cloth.
5:Add water to the steam iron. Turn on the "Steam" or "Burst of Steam"
feature. Run the iron over the clean, dry cloth on the ironing board to
ensure the cleaning product is entirely gone from the soleplate.
No need to open iron! You just unplug the iron. Hold the iron upright. Using a clean cup, pour water into the "open" WATER FILL HOLES just above or in front of the Temp. Select Dial. Watch the water window on the left. When water level reaches MAX, you are filled. Plug in and use. Refill as needed. Ref. - Page 8 in the instruction pamphlet.
fill with water turn iron on max keep turning steam dial all the way to the right until you get to self clean hold iron horizontal and make sure you have a towel or something to catch water drips and debris coming out of iron let iron steam and spit water out until it stops on its own turn dial back to regular steam settings wipe residue off of the plate with a towel adjust temp settings back to normal

Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. It is not necessary to empty the water reservoir after each use of the iron, if you iron frequently. To empty the iron, hold the iron over the sink with the tip pointing down. Water will stream out of the water fill opening.
TO CLEAN THE OUTSIDE SURFACES
• Unplug and allow iron to cool completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened in water and a mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy duty cleansers, vinegar, or scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.
• After cleaning, iron with steam over an old cloth to remove any residue from the steam vents. ABOUT THE SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM
• Use the self-cleaning system to flush out minerals and lint. If lint is allowed to accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause brown spotting. For Models D2000 and D2020: Clean about once a month. For Models D2010, D2030 and D2035: A "CLEAN" indicator will appear in the digital display to notify you when your iron needs cleaning (A).
• Fill the iron as described in "How to Use" but keep the water level below the MAX line. Plug in the iron, set the temperature to 6, and stand the iron on its heel rest. Allow to heat about 3 minutes.
• Unplug the iron and take it to a sink. Holding it horizontally over a sink, move and HOLD the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position ( ). There may be some hissing and spitting while self-cleaning. This is normal.
• Stay clear of HOT steam and boiling water as it comes out of the vents while lint, scale, and minerals flush through! Continue to hold the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock the iron side to side and front to back to empty it.
• When finished, release the variable steam dial, stand the iron on its heel rest, and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water then unplug.

I think you need to fill the water chamber almost to full, plug the iron in and rotate the steam dial all the way to the left. There is a "clean" setting. The iron will splutter and drip water and produce steam. This is the cleaning process. You can probably have the iron on any settinng. I hope this helps.
Unplug the iron! Allow iron to COOL completely!!! Wipe soleplate with damp soft cloth or damp soft sponge. NEVER use abrasives, cleansers, scouring pads that will scratch iron and cause discolorations. The iron has an Auto Clean Steam Valve feature that will prevent most mineral and lint build up everytime you turn the Temp. Select Dial to "0" after use. (Ref. - page 11 of the instruction pamphlet). If you have a really bad hard-water build up problem, use a commercial Steam Iron Cleaner and follow the instructions exactly! Repeat every 3-6 months and you should be fine. Good luck!
Fill the Iron with water but keep the water level below the max line. Plug in the iron and set the temp to 6 and stand iron on it's heel and allow to heat for 3 mins. Now unplug the iron and take it to a sink move and Hold the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position. There may be some hissing and spitting while cleaning so be careful. Continue to hold the dial in the clean position until all the water has emptied. If necessary rock side to side and back to front to get all the water out.When finished release the steam dial plug in the iron and heat for about 2 mins to dry out the remaining water and unplug.
