I PC SAFETY 1
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, serious injury
or death when using your
washing machine, follow basic
precautions, including the
following:
1. BOSCH washers are provided
with an Operating, Care and
Installation Instructions Manual.
Read and understand all
instructions before using the
washing machine.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Before the appliance is
removed from service or
discarded, remove the door
and the power cord/plug.
6. Do not reach into the appliance
if the wash drum is moving.
7. Do not instatl or store this
appliance where it wilI be
exposed to the weather.
8. Do not tamper with the
controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any service unless specifically
recommended in the user
maintenance instructions or in
published user repair
instructions that you
understand and have the skills
to carry out.
10. Always unplug the washing
machine from the power supply
before attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
11. To reduce the risk of fire,
clothes, cleaning rags, mop
heads and the like which have
traces of any flammable
substance, such as vegetable
oit, cooking oii, petroleum
based oils or distillates, waxes,
fats, etc, must not be placed in
the washing machine. These
items may contain flammable
substances which, even after
washing, may smoke or catch
fire.
12. 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.
13. Do not allow children to play on
or with the appliance. Close su
pervision of children is neces
sary when the appliance is
used near children,
14. Keep pets away from the
washing machine,
15. Do not insert/putt out the power
plug with wet hands,
16. Do not touch the door if
washing at high temperatures,
17. Use caution when draining hot
water.
18. Do not climb onto the washing
machine and lean on the open
door,
19, Do not sit or stand on the top of
the vvashing machine,
20. To reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock, DO NOT use
an extension cord or an
adapter to connect the
washing machine to the power
supply.
21. The washing machine must
only be used for its intended
purpose.
22. Always follow the fabric care
instructions recommended by
the clothing manufacturer.
23. Do not use the washing
machine if it has a worn power
cord or loose plug. Contact an
authorized service agent.
24. Make sure that all water
connections to the washing
machine have shut-off valve(s)
and are readily accessible.
Close the washing machine
water shut off valve(s) at the
end of each wash day.
25. Check the fill hose connections
on a regular basis to ensure
that they are tight and not
leaking.

Installation area
Never ground the washer to
plastic plumbing lines, gas
lines or hot water pipes.
Appliance stability is important,
otherwise the washing machine
could "walk" during the spin cycles,
The installation area must be solid
and even. Soft floor surfaces, such
as carpets or surfaces with foam
backing, are not suitable.
If the washing machine is to be
installed on a weak wood floor
consider the following:

machine in a corner of the
room.
(3 Screw a water resistant
wooden board (at least 3/4"
thick) to the floor,
(3 Secure the feet of the washing
machine with holding brackets,
Order the holding brackets (set)
from Bosch Customer Service
(WMZ 2200).

underwired bras (the wire may
come loose during washing
and cause damage), smatI
items (socks and
handkerchiefs), hosiery and
belts should be washed in a
mesh bag to prevent tangling
during the wash cycle.

Loading the laundry
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.
Loose debris in the washing
machine drum can damage
the laundry. Before loading
the laundry, check that there
is no debris in the drum.
][]Do not exceed the maximum
toad. Overloading wilt cause
poor wash results and
encourage creasing.
For best results it is recommended
to load the drum depending on the
fabric type, see special programs
Page 18 for information on bulky
items, e.g. comforters.

amount of detergent
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 heaters may calcify.
Too much detergent:
Not environmentally friendly,
excessive suds reduce wash
agitation producing poor washing
and rinsing results.
Open the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
Add the detergent and/or
additive.
Dispenser h
Dispenser for detergent, stain
remover,
]]]To prevent sudsing use of
HE-Detergent is
recommended.
Dispenser I1:
Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric
softener, fabric conditioner. Do not
fill over edge of max line!
Dispenser IIh
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).
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,
Cycle time wilI 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 24.

Speciat 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 ma-
chine and occurs automatically.
This control reduces water and
energy consumption when washing
small loads.
A flow sensor measures the water
flow rate and meters the exact
volume of water required for the
toad.
This sensor ensures the water level
is correct for washing your laundry
from our economical "Regular/
Cotton" and "Permanent Press"
programs to the "Delicates", "Hand
Wash", "Wool", "Active Wear" and
"Sanitary" cycles.
Displayed Time
Due to these and other
characteristics of the controls the
actual cycle time wilt vary.
When a program has been
selected, the expected cycle time is
displayed.
The following will effect the
displayed time:
Load size
Repeated spin attempts to
evenly distributed toad
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) changing
the displayed time when they
occur in the cycle. If no options
are selected and these effects
do not occur, the time
indicated wilt be time that the
cycle will finish.
Unbalanced load detection
system
The automatic unbalanced toad
detection system spins the laundry
several times to ensure even
distribution.
If the wash toad 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.
