Protection of the environment/

conservation tips

– Utilise the maximum load of washing for each particular

programme.

– Wash normally soiled fabrics without prewash.

– The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the

textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so

that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing

results.

– Detergent dosage using the intelligent dosage system helps save

detergent and water.

– Energy saving mode: The display panel light goes out after

several minutes, $Start/Reload flashes. To activate the light,

select any button.

– If the washing is then dried in the tumble dryer, select spin speed

according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.

Automatic stain treatment

Special treatment of 16 different stain types is possible.

No pretreatment of the stains is required – washing machine adjusts

the washing process. aPage 10

Preparing your

washing machine

Correct installation according to separate

Installation/Maintenance instructions.

Checking the machine

– Never switch on a damaged machine!

– Inform your customer service!

Insert mains plug

– With dry hands only!

My washing machine won’t drain, what can I do? Verified

The main reason a washing machine won’t drain is because of blockage in either the pump or the drain hose. If your washing machine has access to these parts, try to remove any blockage. If this does not solve the problem or if you don’t have access to these parts you should contact a mechanic or the manufacturer.

The door of my washing machine won't open, what can I do? Verified

My washing machine makes a lot of noice and/or vibrates loudly, what can I do about that? Verified

It's possible that the washing machine has not been leveled. You can do this by adjusting the feet to make it perfectly level. The problem can also be caused by inserting to much clothes in the machine. If these are not the cause of your problem you should contact the manufacturer.

My washing machine smells, what can I do about it? Verified

There are washing machines with self-cleaning features. If these features are not available it's possible to add 100ml of white vinegar or 100gr of soda crystals and have the washing machine run a 90 ℃ program.

This was helpful (3560) Read more

Can I connect my washing machine to a warm water outlet? Verified

Although washing machines can probably handle water intake up to 65°C, this is not recommended by most manufacturers. There are wash cycles that specifically make use of cold water. In those cases warm water can harm the results of your wash cycle. Also, many washing machines are designed to be connected to a cold water outlet.

This was helpful (2834) Read more

This was helpful (1394) Read more

What is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified

The biggest advantage of a washer-dryer is that it takes less space. However, a separate dryer will be able to dry more than a washer-dryer. A washer-dryer also uses relatively more energy and requires more time.

This was helpful (1097) Read more

Can I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.

This was helpful (1096) Read more

Can I connect a washing machine to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a washing machine, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the washing machine is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

This was helpful (1095) Read more

My Bosch washing machine displays error "F21", what does this mean? Verified

Error "F21" indicates a wiring problem or a problem with the programming of the module of the machine. It is recommended to contact a mechanic.

This was helpful (359) Read more

In general the model number can be found on a sticker on the inside of the door of your appliance.

This was helpful (280) Read more
