14 Importance of installing on a solid, level floor Your new Bosch® washing machine utilizes high spin speeds to achieve superior water removal from your laundry resulting in reduced drying time. It is important to install your washing machine on a floor that will provide firm support. This prevents the washer from experiencing excess vibration during spinning that could cause the washer to move or be noisy. The installation surface must be solid and level in both directions. Avoid installing your washer on soft surfaces such as floors with carpet or foam backed covering material. If installing the washer on a wooden floor, observe the following: ▯install the washer in a corner for better support if possible. ▯if necessary, reinforce the floor by screwing a water resistant wooden board to the floor (minimum of 1.18 in./30 mm thick). Remove the transport bolts 9

25 Laundry Laundry Preparing the laundry NOTICE: Damage to the appliance/fabrics Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails) may damage the laundry or components in the washing machine. Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your laundry: ▯Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins, keys, other hard objects) are placed in the washer drum. ▯Close any fasteners (such as zippers and hooks) that could cause laundry to catch or become entangled. ▯Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts. ▯Turn trousers and knitted wear inside out prior to washing. ▯Place small items (such as socks and handkerchiefs) and underwired bras into a mesh bag prior to washing. Sorting the laundry Sort laundry items according to color, degree of soiling and recommended wash temperature range. Wash white items separately from colored items. Otherwise, white items may tend to become grey. Observe laundry care labels Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to washing. They provide valuable information as well as limitations about the laundry process (temperature etc.) to help you choose an appropriate cycle. Determining degree of soiling ▯Light soiling No visible soiling or stains, but may have absorbed some odor. This could include light weight summer clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses worn only once. Also to freshen bed linen or guest towels. ▯Normal soiling Visible soiling and/or a few light stains. This could include clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses that have been sweated in or worn several times. Also tea towels, hand towels or bed linen used for up to one week or more. Curtains without stains that have not been washed for up to a half year. ▯Heavy soiling Visible soiling and stains. This could include kitchen towels, fabric napkins, baby bibs, children’s outer clothing or football jerseys and shorts stained with grass or dirt. It could also include working clothes such as overalls and jeans and other clothing worn for outside work and activities. Identifying and treating stains Removing stains ▯Remove/pretreat stains as soon as possible after they have occurred. ▯Dab with a soapy solution.

Risk Of Explosion!

31 Cleaning the water inlet strainers If the washer water supply slows or stops completely, the water inlet strainer may be blocked. Cleaning is recommended every 6 months in any event to reduce chances of valve blockage in areas using hard water. Release the water under pressure in the supply hoses Normal water pressure in your home will cause some water to leak when you remove the water supply hose from the back of the washer. You can minimize this by first de-pressurizing the hoses.

35 Determing the Problem Problem Possible cause(s) Solution(s) Washer door cannot be opened. Child lock is activated. Deactivated Child lock (touch and hold Temperature and Finish in for approximately 3 seconds). A power failure occured. If a cycle is interrupted by a power failure, it will resume when the power is restored. Cycle is running, or water level is too high and/or too hot. Wait until the cycle ends. Electric power cord has become loose or unplugged. Make sure the electric cord is securely plugged in. Program selector turned to Off before end of cycle. Turn the program selector to a cycle. Emergency door lock released is activated. ~ Emergency door lock release; Page 34 Door still cannot be opened, even after turning the washer Off and back on again. Child lock is activated Deactivated Child lock (touch and hold Temperature and Finish in for approximately 3 seconds). Door is locked for safety reasons (high water level, temperature of water hot, or high drum speed (drum is turning). Wash cycle time is increased. Your washer utilizes sensors to monitor certain characteristics of the wash load. Increases in wash cycle time could be due to: Solutions are based on the specific reason the wash time has been extended. Excess suds. Ådisplays at end of cycle. Use less detergent. The automatic unbalanced load detection system spins the laundry several times to ensure even distribution. Always load the washer with a mixture of large and small wash items (easier to distribute in the drum). Cycle does not start - Start/Pause flashes. Start/Pause button not touched / selected? Touch the Start/Pause button to start the cycle. Washer door is not closed properly. Check if laundry is caught in the door. Close the door until a click is heard, the cycle should start. Cycle does not start - Finish in-Time is displayed. Cycle ending time has been selected and activated. Wash cycle will begin at proper time to complete at the selected finish time. Cycle does not start - D symbol flashes. Child lock is activated. Deactivate Child lock (touch and hold Temperature and Finish in for approximately 3 seconds). Detergent residue remains in the detergent dispenser. Dry detergent may have been damp or lumpy. Clean and dry the detergent dispenser. Excess liquid detergent may have been added. See Adding the correct amount of HE detergent to determine proper detergent usage. Use the dosing cup for liquid detergent when dosing powder detergent. Powder detergent may have been damp or lumpy. Clean and dry the detergent dispenser. Water does not appear to be coming into the washer, or detergent is not washed away. Start/Pause selected? Select Start/Pause. Water taps not turned on. Turn on water taps. Supply hose kinked or pinched (reduce flow). Eliminate the cause. Water supply hose strainers clogged. Clean the water inlet strainers. Water pressure too low. Eliminate the cause. Water cannot be seen in the drum. The water level in your high efficiencey front load washer is below the visible part of the drum, this is normal. No action needed.

36 Water has not drained completely. Suds may be excessive (usually due to too much detergent or non- HE detergent being used). Use less detergent for future loads. Be sure to use only high efficiency HE-detergents. Pump is blocked. Check and clean the drain pump, water drain hose and/or the drain pipe. Drain hose or drain pipe is blocked. Clean drainage pipe and/or drainage hose. Water is coming out from underneath the washer. Water supply hose is leaking: is not screwed on tight at both ends, or rubber washer not placed in hose. Eliminate the cause: tighten the hose (by hand at the washer end), check for rubber washer in place. Drain hose is leaking. Check the drain hose, be sure that it is on the washer securely with the clamp in place; may need to replace the drain hose if leaking continues. Foam comes out of the detergent dispenser drawer. The cyle status sequence Wash flashes in the display. Too much detergent was used, or a non-HE detergent was used; pump was not able to pump out the increased suds. Ådisplays at end of cycle. Immediate fix: mix 1 tablespoon of fabric softener with 1/2 liter (1 pint) of water and pour this mixture into the detergent compartment (not with waterproof fabrics). To prevent: use less detergent for future wash loads. Repeated spinning. The Unbalanced Load Detection system is attempting to balance the load through repeated spins. To prevent: always load the washer with a mixture of large and small wash items (easier to distribute in the drum). No spin took place (laundry is still wet). Load size too small. Add more laundry. Large items may have become entangled in the drum and could not be distributed by the Unbalanced Load Detection system; spin cycle therefore canceled for safety reasons. To prevent: always load the washer with a mixture of large and small wash items (easier to distribute in the drum). Excessive suds: too much detergent was used, or a non-HE detergent was used. Ådisplays at end of cycle. Immediate fix: mix 1 tablespoon of fabric softener with 1/2 liter (1 pint) of water and pour this mixture into the detergent compartment (not with waterproof fabrics). To prevent: use less detergent for future wash loads. No Spin was selected Select a spin speed setting (Low, Med or High) Detergent residue on the laundry. Some phosphate free detergents contain water insoluble ingredients that may appear as light spots on the laundry. Brush off when laundry is dry or execute the program Rinse. System shakes or shudders when spin speed increases. The washer drum suspension system shifts during spinning as the speed increases. This may result in a slight shaking of the washer during the spin speed transition. Mix small and large laundry items together in the load to minimize this effect.
