IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
When using appliances, basic safety precautions must
be followed, including those in the following pages.
Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of
transport damage, do not plug it in.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHEN USING YOUR
WASHING MACHINE, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING
o Bosch washers are provided with an Operating, Care
and Installation Instruction manual. Read and
understand all instructions before using the washing
machine.
o Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
o Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
o Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used for this
length of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow out of each faucet for several minutes before
using the washing machine. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame while carrying out
this procedure.
o Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children from
playing or hiding inside. Also remove the power cord/
plug.
o Do not allow anyone to climb, lean or hang on any part
of the washer including any protruding components
such as the appliance door or a pullout shelf.
o Use caution when draining hot water from the washer
drum such as during pump maintenance or when using
the emergency door open procedure.
o Do not reach into the appliance if the wash drum is
moving.
o Do not tamper with the controls.
o Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any service unless specifically recommended
in the user manual or in published user repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
o Always unplug the washing machine from the power
supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the
power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
o Do not machine wash fiberglass materials (such as
curtains and window coverings that use fiberglass
materials). Small particles may remain in the washing
machine and stick to fabrics in subsequent wash loads
causing skin irritation.
o Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather. Hoses and internal parts may
be damaged if exposed to freezing temperatures.
o Do not use the washing machine if it has a worn power
cord or loose plug.
o The washing machine must only be used for its
intended purpose.
o Always follow the fabric care instructions
recommended by the clothing manufacturer.
o Make sure all water connections to the washing
machine have shut-off valves that are readily
accessible during normal operation of the washer. Turn
off both valves during periods in which the washer is
not in use and before leaving for extended periods
such as vacations to reduce the risk of water damage
in the event of a leak. Turn the valves back on prior to
resuming use of the washer.
o Do not operate the washing machine if parts are
missing or broken.
o Do not operate the washing machine until you are sure
that:
- the washing machine has been installed according
to the Installation Instructions.
- all water, drain, power and grounding connections
are in compliance with all local regulations and/or
other applicable regulations and requirements.
o See the installation instructions in this manual for
grounding requirements.

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).
° secure the front feet of the washing machine with
holding brackets. A set of holding brackets can be
obtained from a specialist store or from Customer
Service (part number WMZ 2200).
11
Remove the transport bolts
CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE
o The machine is secured for transport with
transport bolts.
Transport bolts that are not removed can damage
the drum during operation of the machine, the
washer will vibrate, and it will be much noisier
during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not
removed before use.
Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts
completely before first use. Keep the transport
bolts.
If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it
must be installed first, prior to removing the
transport bolts. Please consult the pedestal
installation instructions.
o In order to prevent transport damage during later
transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before
transport.
1. Remove hoses from the brackets.
2. Loosen and remove all 4 transport bolts.
Remove the sleeves. Take the power cable out of the
brackets.
3. Place covers over the transport bolt holes
Four plastic covers are provided in the small parts bag
included with your washer. Separate these covers and
install one in each hole where the transport bolts were
removed.
Lock covers firmly by pressing on the snap hook.
Insert hose holder. Secure hoses in the hose holders.

Water connections
Water supply hose connections
NOTICES
o The washing machine must only be operated with cold
and hot (max. 140 °F/60 °C) tap water. Do not
connect the appliance to the mixer tap of a
pressurized hot-water boiler.
o To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water
valves should be accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should always be turned off
when the washing machine is not in use.
o If installing the washing machine in a new building or a
building in which the plumbing system was recently
installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing
the washing machine to remove any sand, dirt or
residue.

Wash Basin
• , WARNING
SCALDING
When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk
of scalding if you touch hot suds, e.g. when
pumping out hot suds into a wash basin.
Do not reach into the hot suds.
• , CAUTION
APPLIANCE DAMAGE/DAMAGE TO TEXTILES
If the end of the drain hose is dipped into the
pumped-out water, water can be sucked back into
the appliance and can damage the appliance/
textiles.
Make sure that:
@
The sealing plugs do not seal the drain of the wash
basin.
@
The end of the drain hose does not dip into the
pumped-out water.
@
The water flows out fast enough.
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make
sure the washer doesn't "wobble". There should be no
"give" or movement. All four washer feet should press
equally against the floor. This is just as important as
the washer being level to prevent vibration.
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock
the washer feet in place by tightening the Iocknuts
against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without
changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while
tightening the Iocknut).
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
1. After determining which washer feet need to be
extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly
to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2. Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far
as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the
correct amount to level the washer.

When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm
open end wrench to tighten the Iocknut against the
washer bottom. The Iocknut should be tight against the
bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.
Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin.
NOTICE: In any multi-story installation, the washer
should be installed on a drained floor to prevent water
damage to rooms below in the event of a leak.
Leveling the washer
Importance of leveling the washer
Your new washer uses high spins speeds to remove
water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that
your washer is level and that all four washer feet press
with equal pressure against the floor. This will help
assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your
washer.
Follow these steps:
1. Install the washer on a level and solid surface,
preferably in a corner of a room.
2. If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet
as required to level the washer. Do not place anything
under the washer feet to help level the washer.
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The
more the feet are extended, the more vibration the
washer will experience. Start with the washer feet
turned all the way in and adjust each foot as
necessary.
4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to
make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.

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:
o Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins,
keys, other hard objects) are placed in the washer
drum.
o Close any fasteners (such as zippers and hooks) that
could cause laundry to catch or become entangled.
o Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts.
o Turn trousers and knitted wear inside out prior to
washing.
o 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.
Determining degree of soiling
o Light soiling
No visible soiling or stains, but may have absorbed
some body odor. This could include light weight
summer clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses
worn for only one day. Also to freshen bed linen or
guest towels.
o 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. Net curtains (without nicotine stains) that have
not been washed for up to a half year.
o 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 and/or earth. Also could include working clothes
such as overalls and jeans and other clothing worn for
outside work and activities such as gardening, home
and yard maintenance or worn during sports activities.
Identifying and treating stains
Oils and grease: normal body skin oil,
cooking oils/fats, sauces, mineral oil, or
wax (containing fat/oil). Treatment: scrape
residue from fabric. Pretreat. Wash using
hottest water safe for the fabric. For heavy
stains, apply non-flammable dry cleaning
fluid to back of stain, replacing towels
under stain frequently. Rinse thoroughly
and wash using hottest water safe for the
fabric.
Beverages and juices: tea, coffee, red
wine, fruit, vegetables. Treatment: Pretreat
stain. Wash using cold water.
Wash white items separately from colored items.
Otherwise, white items may tend to become grey.
Observe laundry care labels
extra hot hot warm cold
Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to
washing. Choose an appropriate wash cycle that does
not exceed the temperature recommended.
Proteins and carbohydrates: blood, egg,
milk, starch. Treatment: Rinse immediately
in cold water. If stain remains, soak in cold
Y
Removing stains
o Remove/pretreat stains as soon as possible after they
have occurred.
o Dab with a soapy solution. Do not rub.
o Select an appropriate wash cycle and wash the item.
Several washing cycles may be required in order to
remove stubborn or dried-in stains.

with flammable solvents.
As required, you may clean the washer housing and
control panel.
- use hot soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleansing
agent.
- Dry with a soft towel.
- Remove residue immediately.
- Do not use high pressure spray.
Cleaning the drum
Metallic debris left in the drum can produce rust spots on
the drum. Never use steel wool to try to remove these.
Use a chlorine-free cleansing agent and follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Descaling the washer
Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent with
your wash loads, descaling is not necessary. If descaling
the washer drum does become necessary, please follow
the descaling product manufacturer's instructions.
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to
remove white spots on the washer drum caused by lime
or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust caused by
metal objects left in the drum.
NOTICE: Descaling agents contain acids which may
attack parts of the washing machine and may discolor
the laundry.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives, or
if the softener compartment is not rinsed out well
enough, it may be helpful to clean the dispenser.
3
1. Open the dispenser drawer fully. Press down on the
drawer catch (1) and pull the drawer (2) from the
washer housing.
2. Remove the liquid detergent insert (3) by grasping it
and pulling it upwards from the detergent dispenser
drawer.
=
Clean the insert by holding it under warm running
water. Lightly wipe away any remaining detergent
residue.
4=
Reinsert the liquid detergent insert and slide the
detergent dispenser drawer back into place and close
the drawer securely.
Tip: Do not operate the washer without the detergent
drawer in place and completely closed.
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.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Turn the cycle selector to any wash cycle (not to Drain
or Spin).
3. Press Start/Pause and allow 30 seconds to pass.
4. Turn the cycle selector to the Off position.
This should reduce the water pressure on the water
supply hose.
26
Clean the strainers at the water tap end of the hose
1. Remove the hose from the tap.
2. Rinse the strainer under running water. Look at the
strainer to see if any visible debris is still present.
Rinse again if necessary to remove the debris.
3. Reconnect the hose to the tap.
Clean the strainers at the washer end of the hose
It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if
the washer fails to drain (sound of water being pumped
from the washer cannot be heard when the washer
should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a
sink, are draining properly).
The washer pump can become blocked by loose debris
(a good reason to check the drum and remove any
visible debris after each load.) Fabrics that give off large
amounts of fluff may also cause blockage.
To access the washer drain pump, the service cover
must first be removed (see steps below). With the service
cover removed, proceed as follows:
1. If the washer has not been drained, try to drain it now.
Turn the cycle selector to the Spin/Drain cycle, select
No spin and press the Start/Pause button. Wait a few
moments to let the cycle drain the water from the
drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the water will be
unable to drain and the cycle will end.
2. Shut off the tap so that no more water flows in and has
to be drained.
Switch the appliance off. Unplug the power plug.
1. Remove the hose from the inlet on the back of the
washer.
2. Using narrow pliers, grasp and pull the strainer from
the inlet port.
3. Rinse the strainer under running water.
4. Reconnect the hose to the back of the washer and
turn on the water tap. Check to see if water flows by
starting a warm water wash cycle.
NOTICE: Check for leaks to be sure the rubber washers
are seated at both ends of the water supply hose and the
connections are properly tightened.

3. Open and remove the service cover.
4. Loosen the screws and remove the protective film.
27
5. Use the pull-out drain hose located in the pump
access opening to drain the remaining water into a
suitable container (up to 5.3 U.S. gallons/20 liters of
water may be drained). Pull the sealing cap from the
hose and lay the hose over the side of the container
and allow the water to finish draining from the drum.
When finished, replace the sealing cap into the end of
the hose and restore the hose to its storage location.
6. Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A
small amount of residual water may flow out when the
cover is removed.
Clean the interior of the pump housing, removing any
debris or foreign objects. Check to be sure the
impeller wheel at the back of the pump housing can
now turn freely.
Remove any lint, debris or detergent residue from the
threads of the pump cover and the pump cover
housing.
Replace the pump cover and tighten the screws.
Handle must be vertical.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
Bosch Clothes Washer
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The
limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
Corporation (Bosch)in this Statement of Limited Product
Warranty applies only to the Bosch Clothes Washer
("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, but
strictly conditioned on the Product having been
purchased: (1) for your normal, household (non-
commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been
used for normal household purposes (any commercial
use or setting of the Product automatically voids the
warranty); (2) new at retail (not a display, "as is", or
previously returned model) purchased directly by the
end-user consumer, and not for resale, or commercial
use; and (3) within the United States or Canada, and has
at all times remained within the country of original
purchase. The warranties stated herein apply only to the
first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.
Bosch reserves the right to request proof of purchase at
the time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm that
the Product falls within the scope of this limited product
warranty. The warranty is automatically void if the Product
was a display model, sold "as is", tampered with, a
damaged or "scratch and dent" model, or a previously
returned model, a free give-away, charitable donation or
contest prize.
Limitation for Third Party Accessories and Water
Supply Hoses: Third party accessories, including water
supply hoses other than those shipped with your Bosch
washer, and any consequential damages resulting
therefrom, are not covered by this warranty. This
limitation expressly includes the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,
which are also expressly excluded with respect to third
party accessories, including water supply hoses other
than those shipped with your Bosch washer. Use of third
party accessories, including water supply hoses other
than those shipped with your Bosch washer, does not
void this warranty on any other part, and all other
provisions of this warranty remain in effect.
Please make sure to return your registration card; while
not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the
best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a
safety notice or product recall.
Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect
in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to
repair the Product have been made without success,
then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models
may be available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for
an additional charge). All removed parts and
components shall become the property of Bosch at its
sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall
assume the identity of the original part for purposes of
this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with
respect to such parts. Bosch's sole liability and
responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-
defective Product only, using a Bosch-authorized service
provider during normal business hours. For safety and
property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends
that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or
use an un-authorized servicer; Bosch will have no
responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by
a non-authorized servicer. Ifyou choose to have
someone other than an authorized service provider work
on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized
service providers are those persons or companies that
have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who
possess, in Bosch's opinion, a superior reputation for
customer service and technical ability (note that they are
independent entities and are not agents, partners,
affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have
responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote
area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service
provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous,
threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or
environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch
would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to
the nearest authorized service provider, but you would
still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or
other special charges by the service company, assuming
they agree to make the service call.
LENGTH OF WARRANTY
2 year Limited Warranty on Drive Motor from Date of
Purchase
How Long the Warranty Lasts: Bosch warrants that the
Product is free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-five days
(365) days from the date of purchase. The foregoing
timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and
shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for
any reason whatsoever.

warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service
providers will repair your Product without charge to you
