IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washing machine, follow basic precautions, including the following. 1. BOSCH washers are provided with a manual, including Operating Instructions, User Maintenance Instructions and Installation Instructions. Read all instructions before using the washing machine. 2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, 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 such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. 5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. 6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and the power cord/plug. 7. Do not reach into the appliance if the wash drum is moving. 8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. 9. Do not tamper with the controls. 10. 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. 11. Always be sure to unplug the washing machine from the eletrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. 12. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes, cleaning rags, mop heads and the like which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, petroleum based oils or distillates, waxes, fats, etc., must not be placed in the washing machine. These items may contain some flammable substance(s) after laundering, which may smoke or catch fire by itself. 13. Do not use bleach. Hazardous fumes can form. 14.

Always wash white and coloured items separately. Degrees of dirt q Empty all pockets on items of clothing. q Brush out any sand from pockets and cuffs. q Close zip fasteners and button up bed covers. q Remove curtain runners or tie them up in a net / bag. q The following items must be washed inside a net / pillow case: Extremely delicate items, e.g. fine tights, net curtains. Small items, e.g. small socks or handkerchiefs. Underwired bras (the wire may come loose during washing and cause damage). Slight dirt No recognizable dirt or staining. Laundry may have some body odour. Light summer clothing and sportswear that has only been worn for a few hours. 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 staining recognizable. T shirts, shirts and blouses that are very sweaty or have been worn several times. Underwear that has been worn for one day. Tea towels, hand towels and bed linen that have been used for up to one week. Net curtains (without nicotine staining) that have not been washed for up to ½ year. q When washing trousers, knitwear and woven fabrics, e.g. shirts, T shirts or sweatshirts, always turn these items inside out. 10 Intensive dirt Dirt and/or staining recognizable. Kitchen hand towels that have been used for up to one week. Fabric napkins. Bibs. Children's outer clothing or football shirts and shorts with grass and soil stains. Working clothes such as overalls or baker's and butcher's coats. Sorting laundry according to their care label specifications Fabric Types Ó Machine Wash, Cottons Ô Machine Wash, Permanent Press Ò Machine Wash, Delicates Ì Hand Wash Temperatures Typical stains - Skin fat, cooking oils / fat, sauces, mineral oil, wax (containing fat / oil). Tea, coffee, red wine, fruit, vegetables (bleachable). Blood, egg, milk, starch (containing protein / carbohydrate). Soot, soil, sand (pigments), red sand on tennis clothes. Á Cold Ê Warm  Hot Do not wash clothes in washing machine if the care label says "Do Not Wash" or the DO NOT WASH symbol is on the care label. Ú- Removing stains Wherever possible, remove / pretreat stains whilst they are still fresh. First, dab soapy water onto the stain. Do not rub. Subsequently wash the items of clothing using the appropriate program. Several washing cycles may sometimes be required in order to remove stubborn / dried in stains. 11 Loading the laundry d RISK OF EXPLOSION! d Items of clothing that have been pretreated with solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover and dry cleaning spirit, represent an explosion hazard once loaded into the washing machine. Therefore, these items must first be rinsed thoroughly by hand. q Do not exceed the maximum load: Overloading will cause poor wash results and encourage creasing. It is recommended, for best results, that the drum be loaded by fabric type, as follows: Full Load ½ Load Õ Load Cotton and Linens Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends and Poly Knits Woolens, Delicates, Silk CAUTION Loose debris in the washing machine drum can damage the laundry. Before loading the laundry, check that there is no debris in the drum. q Close the loading door. Take care not to trap any items of clothing between the loading door and rubber seal. q Open the loading door. q 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. 12 Laundry Detergents and Additives Dispensing the correct amount of detergent d RISK OF POISONING! d Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of children. Dispense the detergent according to: the water hardness. This information can be obtained from your local water authority. the amount of laundry. the amount of soil. Information on soiling can be found on page 10. the specifications of the detergent manufacturer. Dispensing the correct amount of detergent relieves the strain on the environment and ensures optimum washing results. DO NOT use chlorine bleach in this washing machine. Too much detergent: Environmentally incompatible, excessive foam reduces wash agitation causing poor washing and rinsing results. Filling laundry detergent and/or additive dispensers Dispenser I: Detergent for soaking agent. Dispenser II: Detergent for wash, stain remover. Dispenser 2: Cleaning product, e.g. fabric softener, fabric conditioner. Fill at least to lower edge of insert 1. If the liquid additive is thick, mix with a little water before dispensing (prevents clogging of the overflow). i q If it is necessary to use a detergent made for top loading washing machines, to avoid oversudsing, it is recommended that only ¼ to ½ (approx. 2-3 Tbl.) of the amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer for top loading washing machines be used. Using this lesser amount may effect the cleaning perfomance. The first time, start with ¼ of the recommended amount. Then, only if there is a low level of sudsing and your clothes are not getting clean, try a little more. q Pour liquid detergent into the appropriate dispensing chamber. Too little detergent: The laundry is not cleaned properly and will, after a while, become grey and stiff. Greyish brown spots (fat globules) may appear on the laundry. The heaters may calcify. q Pull out the detergent dispenser up to the end stop. q Add the detergent and/or additive. q Close the detergent dispenser. 13 Selecting Programs Basic programs Select the desired program, see also the program overview.
