loose during washing and cause
damage)
Sorting the laundry
According to color and degree of
soiling
Items of clothing may become
discolored. Never wash new
multi-colored items together with
other items.
White items may become gray. Always
wash white and colored items
separately.
Degrees of soiling

No recognizable dirt or staining.
Laundry may have some body odor.
- Light summer clothing.
- T-shirts, shirts and blouses that
have been worn for up to one day.
- Bed linen and guest towels that
have been used for one day.
Normal dirt
Visible dirt and/or some light
recognizable staining.
- T-shirts, shirts and blouses that
are very sweaty or have been worn
several times.
- Dish towels, hand towels and bed
linen that have been used for up to
one week.
- Sheer curtains (without smoke
staining) that have not been
washed for up to 6 months.

Loading the laundry
TO AVOID EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Items of clothing that have been
pretreated with solvent-based
cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover
and dry cleaning solvents, represent
an explosion hazard once loaded
into the washing machine.
Therefore, these items must first be
rinsed thoroughly by hand.
Unfold the sorted items ofclothing
and place them loosely into the
drum. Mix up large and small
items. Items of varying size will
distribute better during the spin
cycle.
F_Do not exceed the maximum load.
Overloading will cause poor wash
results and will increase wrinkling.
For best results it is recommended to
load the drum depending on the fabric
type, see special programs Page 15 for
information on bulky items, e.g.
comforters :
Full Load
Cotton and Linens
½ Load
Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends
and Knitwear
_ Load
Wool, Delicates, Silk
TO AVOID RISK OF POISONING!
Keep detergents and additives out
of the reach of children.
Measure out the detergent (powder or
liquid) according to:
- The water hardness. This
information can be obtained from
your local water authority. (soft
water requires less detergent.)
- The amount of laundry.
- The degree of soiling. Information
on soiling can be found on Page
13.
- The specifications of the detergent
manufacturer. Measuring the
correct amount of detergent
reduces the strain on the
environment and ensures
optimum washing results.
Too little detergent:
The laundry is not cleaned properly and
will eventually become gray and stiff.
Grayish brown spots (fat globules) may
appear on the laundry. The heater may
calcify.
Too much detergent:
Not environmentally friendly, excessive
suds reduce wash agitation producing
poor washing and rinsing results or
may prevent proper spinning.
14
Filling laundry detergent
and/or additives
Open the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
Add the detergent and/or additive.
Dispenser I:
Dispenser for detergent, stain remover.
_T]we recommend HE detergents
because they are particularly
designed to deliver optimum
performance from your
front-loading washer. Not
using HE detergent could cause
problems such as oversudsing,
extended cycle periods, or a
decrease in wash performance.
Dispenser I1:
Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric softener,
fabric conditioner. Do not fill over edge
of max line[
Dispenser II1:
Dispenser for liquid bleach (chlorine
bleach, color safe bleach).
Do not overfill[
_T] Concentrated or thick fabric
softener, conditioner and
powder-bleach must be diluted
with a little water before being
poured into the dispenser
(prevents overflow due to
obstruction).
_T] Close the flap of the detergent
dispenser. Please ensure the
lid is entirely closed.
Decolorizing
Dyes may contain sulphur or
chlorine. These substances may
cause parts of the washing machine
to corrode. Do not dye items of
laundry inthe washing machine.

Statement of limited product Warranty
applies only to the Bosch 100 Series
washer ("Bosch") sold to you, the first
using purchaser, provided that the
Product was purchased: (1)for your
normal, household (non-commercial)
use, and has in fact at all times only
been used for normal household
purposes: (2) new at retail (not a
display, "as is", or previously returned
model), 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.
[_ Please make sure to return your
registration card: while not
necessary to effectuate warranty
coverage, it isthe best way for
Bosch to notify you in the unlikely
event of a safety notice or product
recall.
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 (365) days from the
date of purchase. The foregoing
timeline begins upon the date of
purchase, and shall not be stalled,
tolled, extended, or suspended, for any
reason whatsoever.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive
Remedy: During this warranty period,
Bosch or one of its authorized service
providers will repair your Product
without charge to you (subject to
certain limitations stated herein) if your
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
(upgrade 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. If you choose
to have someone other than an
authorized service provider service
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

responsibility, for the Product if it is
located in a remote area (more than
100 miles from an authorized service
provider) or is in a 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 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.
Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is
under no obligation, by law or
otherwise, to provide you with any
concessions, including repairs,
pro-rates, or Product replacement,
once this warranty has expired.
Warranty Exclusions: The warranty
coverage described herein excludes all
defects or damage that are not the
direct fault of Bosch, including without
limitation, one or more of the following:
(1)use of the Product in anything other
than its normal, customary and
intended manner (including without
limitation, any form of commercial use,
