Features and Benefits of Your New Washer

SENSOTRONIC ® Technology The Bosch SENSOTRONIC ® technology optimizes the

wash process at every stage of the cycle by sensing load size, water level and temperature needs for superior results.

Digital sensors care for all fabrics including wool, mohair and silk. This machine virtually operates at the touch of a button.

Exclusive Hinge and Gasket System A reinforced hinge and a new, revolutionary gasket design

keep the door shut. They also seal inthe heat, allowing your laundry to reach the optimum temperature, which eliminates even the toughest stains.

3-Part Detergent Dispenser A 3 part dispenser automatically distributes the appropriate

amounts of detergent, bleach and softener at exactly the right times. And, working together with our unique suds sensor, you can be sure your clothing is rinsed completely

clean.

XXTRASANITARY TMCycle With this innovative cycle, a thermostat-controlled,

intelligent sensor heats up the water to 170° F and maintains the temperature for exactly 3 minutes. After killing

99.9% of most common household bacteria, the water temperature is reduced to a gentler 150° Fto prevent clothing breakdown. The clothes are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with no damage to fibers.

KIDSCARE TMCycle The littlest people in the house usually account for the

toughest stains. This cycle heats the wash water up to 150° Fto remove even the most stubborn stains with ease.

Archie Paddles As your wash gently tumbles, Archie paddles cascade water

from high above, rinsing away suds and giving your laundry a complete, even clean. An inclined drum works with them to ensure not a single shirt goes unturned.

Stainless Steel Drum The Nexxt washer drum has hundreds of smooth double

punched holes, which allow your garments to gently tumble completely snag free.

Internal Water Heater An Internal Heating Element heats the water to up to 170° F

while a Digital Temperature Sens0s continually monitors the water temperature. Bosch Nexxt_ washers deliver the

most efficient and accurate water heating method for each selected fabric type.

Quiet Performance Bosch laundry appliances use brushless motors,

suspended pump systems and special sound-deadening material to keep them exceptionally quiet while in operation.

Which means they can be installed virtually anywhere in the home without causing a disturbance.

SYNCRO TMTechnology Manage your washer and dryer times wit_3the SYNCRO TM

Technology Operation Logic. The Nexxt _ Dryers coordinate with the spin speed of the washer, based upon the fabric

setting and water temperature of your wash load. Therefore, your wash pile won't stack up as you wait for your dryer to

finish its cycle.

Leveling Procedure

The appliance should now be in its final position, ready for leveling (moving the appliance after leveling can make it unlevel again.)

Each foot of the appliance or pedestal must be placed firmly on

the floor to prevent the washing machine from wobbling.

Start with allfour feet screwed in as far as possible, then back

individual feet out as necessary to level the washer.

Use the bubble level to level the washer front to back and side to

side (be sure the level fits between the edges of the washer, and is

not elevated at mone end on a ridge on the surface of the

washer.)

Adjust the leveling of the washer with the four height adjustable

feet. Level the washer as low as possible to heklp reduce vibration.

TO AVOID RISK OF INJURIES Take care when using the wrench.

Loosen the lock nut 1 (1 on the illustration) by turning it

clockwise. Use the wrench

provided (or a 5/8" 16mm open end wrench). When you turn the lock nut, the foot (2 on the illustration)it is locked against will turn with it. This will extend the height of the foot.

Turning the foot out (clockwise) will raise the corner of the

washer, turning the foot in (counter clockwise) will lower

the corner of the washer. When the corner of the washer

is satisfactorily raised or

lowered, lock the

height adjustable feet in place

by turning the lock nut counter-clockwise until it locks

tightly against the washer

housing.

D It may be necessary to hold

the washer foot with a pair of pliers to keep it from turning while tightening the

lock nut. It the foot does

turn, it will change the

height of the corner.

After making preliminary adjustments, press down on

each corner of the washer to make sure the unit does not wobble. If it does wobble, lower the foot on that corner until the foot touches the floor

firmly.

Use a bubble level (24" or less in length) to check the leveling status

of the appliance.

Lay the bubble level across the unit worktop to check the level

from side to side and from front to back.

A center located bubble indicates the unit is leveled.

Otherwise, repeat the leveling procedure until the unit is leveled. Tip: if the bubble is

closer to one end, it indicates the high side of the unit. To level the unit, either lower the

higher side or raise the lower side.

After leveling the unit from side to side, then turn the level so

that it lays on the worktop from front to back to also check the

level in that direction.

s .....

Fine tune the leveling by placing a small load of laundry in the machine, starting it in spin cycle and then leveling the washer again.

If the test spin cycle is manually stopped before its completion,

then the door may remain locked for 10 seconds.

Transport, such as when moving out

Before transporting the washing machine:

Turn off the water.

Disconnect the washing machine

from the power outlet.

Dismantle the supply and drainage hoses.

Install the transport bolts.

Preparing and inserting the transport bolts

Remove the covers. Prepare the transport bolts:

Loosen the screw in the sleeve until the end of the screw is level

with the end of the sleeve.

Insert and tighten all transport bolts. Make sure that the tab on

the transportation bolt is inserted

in the slot on the washing machine back panel.

Preparing the laundry

Before Using For

the First Time

The washing machine must be installed and connected properly (refer to Page

6). Before using your washing machine for

the first time:

Make sure that the supplied volt- age isthe same as the voltage shown on the rating plate.

Check that the water valves for the washing machine have been con-

nected correctly and are open.

Using For the First

Time

First washing cycle (with-

out laundry)

Your appliance was tested before

leaving the factory. To ensure a fresh

wash with your initial load of clothes,

run the washer a complete cycle,

without clothes, in advance.

Do not load any laundry. Turn on the water tap.

Open the flap of the detergent dispenser.

Pour approx. 1 quart (1 liter) of water into the detergent chamber I; see Page 16.

Pour 1 2 Tbsp. detergent into detergent chamber I.

D Do not use special detergents for

delicates or wool (this will cause excessive sudsing).

Close the flap of the detergent dispenser.

Close the door. Set the program selector to

Regular/Cotton Hot. The Start/Pause indicator light

flashes red. Press the Start/Pause button.

The program starts. The indicator light is on (red).

D The display shows the run time of

program.

When the display shows "0:00":

Open the door. Turn the program selector to Off.

Loose debris (coins, paper clips, nails and other hard objects) can damage items of clothing as well as parts of the washing machine (e.g. drum).

Empty all pockets. Brush off lint and dirt.

Close zippers, button up duvets and hooks.

Remove curtain rings or tie them up in a net bag.

Remove pins, buttons, buckles and other hard objects to avoid

scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and

ornaments.

Turn synthetic knitwear inside-out to avoid pilling.

Treat spots and stains.

To prevent loss or damage to laundry and the machine, the following items

should be washed in a mesh laundry bag:

Baby socks (small items) Hosiery Belts

Underwired bras (directly washed in the washer, the wire may come loose during wasing 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

Slight dirt 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.

Intensive dirt Dirt and/or staining recognizable.

Kitchen hand towels that have been used for up to one week.

Cloth napkins. Bibs.

Children's outer clothing or sportswear with grass and soil

stains.

Working clothes such as overalls

or baker's and butcher's coats.

Typical stains

Body oils, cooking oils/grease, sauces, mineral oil, wax

(containing fat/oil).

Tea, coffee, red wine, fruit, vegetables.

Blood, egg, milk, starch (containing protein/carbohydrate).

Soot, soil, sand (pigments), red clay.

Removing stains

If possible, pretreat stains while they are still fresh.

First, dab soapy water onto the stain. Do not rub.

Subsequently, wash the items of clothing using the appropriate program.

Occasionally, several wash cycles may

be required in order to remove persistent, dried on stains.

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.

Open the door.

Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place them loosely into the drum. Mix up large and small items. Items of varying size will distribute better during the spin cycle.

D Do not exceed the maximum load.

Overloading will cause poor wash results and increase wrinkling.

For best results it is recommended to load the drum depending on the fabric

type, see special programs Page 17 for information on bulky items, e.g.

comforters : Full Load

Cotton and Linens 1/2Load

Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends and Knitwear

Y_Load Wool, Delicates, Silk

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. Soft water requires less detergent.

The amount of laundry. The degree of soiling. Information

on soiling can be found on Page

15.

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 detergent and/or additives

Loose debris in the washing machine drum can damage the

laundry. Before loading the laundry, check that there is no debris in the

drum.

D Close the door.

Do not trap any items of clothing between the door and rubber seal.

Door should be able to close easily, not by force.

Open the flap of the detergent

dispenser. Add the detergent and/or additive.

Dispenser I: Dispenser for detergent, stain remover.

D 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! D Concentrated or thick fabric

softener, conditioner and powder-bleach must be diluted with a littlewater before being

poured into the dispenser (prevents overflow due to

obstruction).

D Bleach may cause discoloration of

the washer's colored surface. Therefore, it is important to keep

the bleach away from the colored surface of your washer. If any bleach spills on the surface, use a moist paper towel to thoroughly clean it immediately.

D 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.

Programs

and Functions

Cycle time will vary depending on cycle selected, temperature and pressure of

incoming water, water hardness, size of load, type of fabrics and distance of

unit from the drain. The maximum spin speeds of the

programs are dependent upon the cycle. For adjusting the spin speed, see page 18.

Basic programs

Regular/Cotton Hot Normally and/or heavily soiled colorfast

fabrics. Sturdy, hard wearing items made of cotton or linen such as work clothes and underwear.

Regular/Cotton Warm Lightly and/or normally soiled

non-colorfast fabric. Sturdy, hard wearing items made of cotton or linen such as jeans, T-shirts and sweatshirts.

Regular/Cotton Cold Lightly soiled non-colorfast fabric.

Sturdy, hard wearing items made of cotton or linen (colors that may bleed or fade). Permanent Press Hot

Items consisting of normally soiled colorfast cotton, permanent press, linen, synthetic or blended fabrics and

outer garments. Clothes requiring a special tumble sequence and spin

speed to minimize creasing. Permanent Press Warm

Items consisting of lightly and/or normally soiled non-colorfast cotton,

permanent press, linen, synthetic or blended fabrics and outer garments.

Clothes requiring a special tumble sequence and spin speed to minimize

creasing, such as blouses, shirts and overalls.

Permanent Press Cold Items consisting of lightly and/or

normally soiled non-colorfast cotton, permanent press, linen, synthetic or blended fabrics and outer garments. Clothes requiring a special tumble

sequence and spin speed to minimize creasing.

Special programs

Delicates/Silk Delicates/Silks settings are intended for

use with delicate easy care items made of cotton, satin, synthetic or blended

fabrics and curtains, dresses, skirts and blouses.

Bulky items, e.g. comforters, can be washed with this cycle because of

gentle action and additional rinse

(automatically added). No spinning between rinse cycles.

Hand wash Hand Wash settings are intended for

very delicate, easy care items that usually require hand washing.

This cycle has been specifically

designed to provide extremely gentle

treatment of fabrics.

Silk or other items mated with the "Hand wash" symbol _ on the care label can be safely washed with this cycle.

Wool

Woolens (machine wash and hand

wash). Jeans

Specially designed for jeans and heavy denims, this progam reduces fading

and wrinkling.

XXTRASANITARY This program was specifically designed

to eliminate most common houshold

bacterium while providing gentle

treatment of fabrics. At the beginning

of the washing phase, hot water is introduced and then the internal

heating element heats the water to 167°F 174°F for a minimum of three

minutes. Clothes will be saturated in

the hot water long enough to kill most

common household bacterium, yet without causing additional wear and

tear to the clothes.

Used for heavily soiled and/or stained colorfast fabrics that need to be

sanitized, such as, towels, underware, socks, bed sheets, table clothes, etc.

KIDSCARE For stained, heavily soiled, and

hard-wearing fabrics, like children's

jeans, sheets, t shirts. D Do not wash new multicolored

laundry with other laundry

together.

Quick Wash 25 For mixed load, e.g. cotton, linen,

synthetic materials or blended fabrics, lightly soiled.

Refresh Program for rinsing unsoiled textiles,

e.g. swimwear, and for removing detergent residue from textiles. Ends with a spin cycle.

Spin cycle for spinning wet, hand washed laundry.

Water is drained before and during the

spin cycle.

Soak A cycle for pre-treatment of heavily

stained items. The soak cycle lasts 2

hours and ends with a short spin cycle.

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 (forsafety reasons) orthe 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

are not transferable. D 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 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. Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is

under no obligation, at 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,

use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in

conjunction with air or water-going vessels); (2)any part's willful

misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions,

mishandling, unauthorized service (including self-performed "fixing" or

modification of any kind; (4) a failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing

lightning, power surges, structural failures surrounding the appliance, and

property, including cabinetry, floors, ceilings and other structures or objects around the Product. Also excluded

from this warranty are scratches, nicks,

minor dents, and cosmetic damages on external surfaces and exposed

parts; Products on which the serial
