Frequently Asked Questions (19)

How do I perform a first wash on my new Bosch washing machine before using it?

Do not load any laundry for the first wash, as the machine was tested at the factory and may have residual water. Add half a measuring cup of detergent to compartment II, close the drawer, turn the programme selector to a 60°C programme, and press the Start/Pause button. At the end of the programme, turn the selector to Stop (Off) and leave the door open to allow the inside to dry out. (Page 8)

What do the fault codes on the display mean?

The fault code ‹˜"Ÿ or "‚„ means the washing machine door is not closed properly. "‹† indicates that water is not flowing in, while ˜—¯˜ or "‹‡ means the water is not being emptied. Other fault codes are intended only for customer service staff, so you should note the code and contact after-sales service. (Page 20)

How do I reset the washing machine if it stops responding?

Press and hold the Start/Pause (Inicio/Pausa) button until ‹‹‹‹ appears in the display panel and the three programme progress indicator lamps light up. This reset function returns the machine to its original settings. (Page 16)

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Pull out the detergent drawer as far as possible, press the zone labelled PUSH, and remove the drawer completely. Remove the fabric softener compartment insert and clean both the drawer and insert under running water, then also clean the detergent drawer guide. Reinsert the fabric softener compartment insert and replace the drawer. (Page 17)

How do I clean the detergent solution pump if it is blocked?

First drain the water by removing the sealing cap from the drain hose and letting the water flow out into a container, emptying it as needed. Then carefully unscrew the pump cover, clean the interior, pump cover thread, and pump housing, ensuring the impeller can rotate freely. Refit the pump cover tightly, and pour 1 litre of water into compartment II and run the Empty programme to prevent unused detergent from flowing into the drain. (Page 18)

What should I do if the washing machine door cannot be opened after a power cut?

In the event of a power cut, you can release the door mechanically using the emergency release. Turn the programme selector to Stop (Off), unplug the mains plug, open the base panel, drain out the water, then pull the emergency release downwards and open the door at the same time.

What are the water pressure requirements for connecting the washing machine?

The water pressure in the mains supply should be between 50–900 kPa (0.5–9 bar), which equates to at least 8 litres of water flowing out per minute when the tap is turned on. If the water pressure exceeds this range, a pressure reducing valve must be installed. Only cold drinking water should be used, and the machine must not be connected to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water boiler. (Page 26)

What should I do before running the washing machine for the very first time?

Run a wash cycle without any laundry loaded to remove any water left over from factory testing. Add half a measuring cup of detergent to compartment II, close the door, turn on the tap, and run a 60°C programme. After the programme ends, leave the door open to allow the inside to dry out. (Page 8)

What do the fault codes 'E:17' or 'F:01' mean, and how do I fix them?

The fault code '‹˜"Ÿ' or '"‚„' indicates that the washing machine door is not closed properly — try closing the door firmly. The fault code '"‹†' means water is not flowing in, and '˜—¯˜' or '"‹‡' means water is not being emptied. For each fault, refer to the troubleshooting table for the appropriate remedial action.
