Bosch WVG30460ME Washing Machine

Textiles labelled with the 'Do not dry' care symbol must not be dried in the washer dryer. Additionally, wool or textiles containing wool, delicates such as silk and synthetic curtains, textiles containing foam rubber or similar materials, and textiles treated with flammable liquids such as stain remover or petroleum ether must never be dried in the appliance due to the risk of explosion. (Page 13)

The appliance requires a mains voltage of 220–240 V/50 Hz with a nominal current of 10 A and nominal power of 1900–2300 W, and must be connected to a correctly installed earthed socket. The water supply must use cold mains water only, with a minimum pressure of 100 kPa (1 bar) and a maximum of 1000 kPa (10 bar), and a flow rate of at least 8 litres per minute when the tap is open. If the water pressure exceeds 1000 kPa, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed. (Pages 35, 40, 42)

Before first use, run the Drum Clean programme without any laundry to remove residual test water from the factory inspection. Select the Drum Clean Û 40°C programme, pour approximately 1 litre of water into dispenser II, and add standard detergent according to manufacturer's instructions for light soiling. Use only half the recommended detergent amount to prevent frothing, and do not use woollens or mild detergents. (Page 43)

Error code E:18 means the drain pump is blocked. You should clean the drain pump and also check and clean the drainage hose on the siphon. To access the pump, turn off the tap, switch off and unplug the appliance, open the service flap, drain residual water via the drain hose, then carefully unscrew and clean the pump cover and housing. (Page 32)

Error code E:32 alternates with 'End' on the display when the programme has finished and indicates an unbalance problem, meaning the spinning phase was aborted. This occurs when laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum. To avoid this, mix large and small laundry items together so they distribute better during the spin cycle. (Page 32)

To activate or deactivate the childproof lock, touch and hold both the 0 rpm and Finish in (û) buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. When activated, the symbol 'w' appears on the display, and if the button signal is on, an acoustic signal will also sound. Note that the childproof lock may remain active even after the washer dryer has been switched off. (Page 18)

The washer dryer is secured with four transport lock screws for safe delivery, and these must be completely removed before operating the appliance for the first time. If the transport locks are not removed, the drum may become damaged during operation. Keep the screws and sleeves in a safe place, as they must be refitted if the appliance is transported again at a later date. (Page 39)

Poor drying results can be caused by several factors including the water tap being closed during drying, as the machine uses water condensation technology and requires the tap to remain open throughout the drying process. Other causes include laundry not being spun at the highest spin speed before drying, overloading the drum beyond the drying programme's maximum load, excessively high ambient temperature above 30°C, low water pressure, or low power supply voltage below 200V. (Page 34)

First turn off the tap and switch off and unplug the appliance, then open and remove the service flap. Remove the drain hose from its retainer, remove the sealing cap to drain residual water into a container, then carefully unscrew the pump cover — noting that residual water may leak out. Clean the interior, pump-cover thread, and pump housing, ensuring the impeller can rotate freely, then refit and tighten the pump cover with the handle in a vertical position. (Page 29)

For the Cottons programme, the maximum load for washing is 8 kg (or 5 kg when the SpeedPerfect additional function is selected). The maximum load for drying in the Cottons programme is 5 kg. It is important not to exceed these limits, as overfilling impairs both washing and drying results. (Page 20)

Textiles that must not be dried in the washer dryer include wool or textiles containing wool, delicates such as silk and synthetic curtains, textiles containing foam rubber or similar materials, and textiles treated with flammable liquids such as stain remover or petroleum ether, as these pose a risk of explosion. Textiles still containing hairspray or similar substances must also not be dried. (Page 13)

Before starting the programme, press the Finish in (ñ) button to preselect an end time in hourly increments up to a maximum of 24 hours ahead. Once the programme has started, the preselected time displays and counts down until the programme begins running. If you need to change the Finish in time after the programme has started, press Start/Reload, adjust the Finish in time using the ñ button, then press Start/Reload again. (Page 25)
