1. Arrange items of washing as usual.
2. Select a programme.
3. Load the washing machine
4. Select a stain type (depending on
the selected programme).
5. Start the programme.
The washing machine adjusts the
average washing temperature, drum
movement and soaking time to the
specific type of stain. Hot or cold water,
gentle or intensive washing and long or
short soaking ensure that the washprogramme sequence is specially
adapted to each type of stain. This
makes sure that stains are treated in the
best possible way.
The treatment of two stains explained
in the following example:
Blood
Blood is first “dissolved” in cold water,
then the selected wash programme
starts.
Egg
Egg particles are removed by soaking
in the lukewarm water bath, selecting a

running additional rinse cycles.
Following intensive research, we have
developed comparable solutions for

Placing laundry into the drum
:Warning
Risk of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent,
may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse these items of laundry
thoroughly beforehand.
Load the pre-sorted, unfolded laundry
into the drum. The load screen for the
selected programme
(e.g. f Easy-Care) is indicated on the
display panel.
'RVDJHDXWRPDWLF
3OHDVHORDGODXQGU\PD[NJ
The load bar fills as the laundry is
loaded. If the maximum load is
exceeded, the bar flashes. Observe the
maximum indicated load. Overfilling
adversely affects the washing result and
encourages creasing.
Notes
■ Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual laundry
items may cause an unbalanced
load.
■ Wait until the Bosch logo no longer
appears before adding laundry.
■ The load screen appears when the

dosing
Depending on the programme selection
and settings, the optimum amounts of
detergent/fabric softener are dosed via
the i-DOS dispenser.
Notes
■ Only use easy-pour liquid products
that the manufacturer recommends
adding to the detergent drawer.
■ Do not mix different liquid
detergents. If changing your liquid
detergent (type, manufacturer, etc.),
empty the dispenser completely and
clean it. ~ Page 60
■ Do not use products containing
solvents, caustic agents or volatile
substances (e.g. bleach).
■ Do not mix detergent and fabric
softener.
■ Do not use products that have
expired or are highly congealed.
■ To prevent drying out, do not leave
the dispenser lids open for a long

sufficient for approx. 3 washes.
The same detergent or fabric softener
can be added at any time. If you change
product/manufacturer, we recommend
that you clean the dispensers first.
~ Page 60
If required, adjust the basic dosage.
(De)selecting intelligent dosage and
adjusting the dosage strength:
The intelligent dosages for detergent
and fabric softener are set at the factory
for programmes in which intelligent
dosing can be used.
Overview of programmes ~ Page 32
49
en Intelligent dosing system
Base dosage
The basic dosages are:
■ For detergents – based on the
manufacturer’s recommendation for
average soiling and the respective
water hardness.
■ F or fabric softeners – based on the
manufacturer's recommendation for
a medium level of softness.
Refer to the packaging label on your
detergent/fabric softener or ask the
manufacturer directly for this
information.
To find out the hardness of your water
supply, use a test strip or check with
your water supplier.
My water hardness:
Set the basic detergent dosage
according to the detergent's packaging
label. Take your water hardness into
consideration when doing so.
Select the basic fabric softener dosage
according to how soft you would like
your laundry to be.
Changing one basic dosage affects all
three dosage quantities in the same
way.
Notes
■ Reduce the basic dosage if using a
very concentrated detergent.
■ If large amounts of foam are
repeatedly created during washing,
please check your basic dosage and
dosage quantity settings.
Certain types of liquid detergent can
also create excessive amounts of
foam. If your basic dosage and
dosage quantity settings are correct,
we advise you to use a different
detergent.
