manual abstract
INSTALLER: Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suffocating and remove the plug from the power cord. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. (In case of change of ownership, manual should be conveyed with the washer.) 2 Use & Care Manual IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the following. 1. Bosch washers are provided with two manuals; one Installation Instruction manual and one Use and Care manual. Read all instructions before using the washer. 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 washer from the electrical 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 washer. These items may contain some flammable substance(s) after laundering, which may smoke or catch fire by itself. 13. Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia or acidic solutions (such as vinegar or rust removers) in the same wash load. Hazardous fumes can form. 14. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials (many curtains and window covering use fiberglass materials). Small particles can remain in the washing machine and stick to fabrics in subsequent wash loads causing skin irritation. 15. Do not sit on top of the washer. 16. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the electrical power supply. 3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 17. The washer must only be used for its intended purpose. 18. Always follow the fabric care instructions recommended by the clothing manufacturer. 19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs. 20.

Check the fill hose connections on a regular basis to assure that they are tight and not leaking. 22. Always read and follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the detergent(s), cleaning aid(s), fabric softener(s) and static eliminator(s), which you are using. Heed all warnings and precautions. 23. Store all laundry chemicals and aids in a cool dry place according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 24. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep all cleaning products out of the reach of children. 25. Do not operate the washer with any guards and/or panels removed. 26.
