Laundry
Detergents
and Additives
Dispensing the correct
amount of detergent
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.
- The amount of laundry.
- The degree of soiling.
Information on soiling can
be found on Page 16.
- The specifications of the
detergent manufacturer.
Measuring the correct amount
of detergent relieves 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.
Filling laundry deter-
gent and/or additives
Q Open the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
Q Add the detergent and/or
additive.
Dispenser I:
Dispenser for detergent, stain
remover.
[-i--] We recommend HE
detergents becasue 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 II:
Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric
softener, fabric conditioner. Do not
fill over edge of max line!
Dispenser Ill:
Dispenser for liquid bleach (chlorine
bleach, color safe bleach).
Do not overfill!
[-_ 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).
Q Close the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
Decolorizing
Dyes may contain sulphur or
chlorine. These substances may
cause parts of the washing
machine to corrode. Do not dye
items of laundry in the washing
machine.
17

Special features
Auto Load adjust
"Auto Load adjust" adjusts the
water and energy consumption for
each program and determines the
amount of laundry and type of
fabrics.
This process is built into your
machine and occurs automatically.
This control reduces water and
energy consumption when washing
small loads.
Unbalanced load detection
system
The automatic unbalanced load
detection system spins the laundry
several times to ensure even
distribution.
If the wash load is unevenly
distributed, it will not spin (for safety
reasons) or the final spin speed is
reduced.
In the wool program the appliance
will attempt to start the spin cycle
only twice in order to prevent
shrinking.
Displayed Time
Due to these and other
characteristics of the controls the
actual cycle time will vary.
When a program has been
selected, the expected program
duration is displayed.
The following will effect the
displayed time:
- Load size
- Repeated spin attempts to
evenly distributed load
- Additional rinse cycles if
excessive foam occurs
- Water pressure is too low
- Selection of additional options,
e.g. "Rinse plus"
%
You may notice these effects
(more or less time) changes the
displayed time when they occur

STATEMENT OF LIMITED
PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty covers &
Who it Applies to:
The limited warranty provided BSH
Home Appliances ("BOSCH") in this
Statement of limited product
Warranty applies only to the Bosch
Nexxt washer ("Product") 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 is the 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 to run 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
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 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.
