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.

Dispensing the correct
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

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.
