Manufacturers of Bosch washing equipment provide detailed operating instructions. The manual for the machine contains all the information that a future owner of the equipment may need: safety precautions, general rules of use, recommendations, etc.

This article contains brief instructions for the Bosch Maxx 4 washing machine, which will help you understand the equipment.

Safety precautions

To ensure safe operation of washing equipment, you must carefully read the instructions. For it, you should determine a place in the house where it can be immediately found if necessary.

When operating the machine, the following safety rules must be observed:

The device can only be used at home for washing textiles. The machine must be connected to cold water;
Keep pets and small children away from the equipment;
Do not touch the glass of the machine door while it is in operation. The glass can be very hot.
Turn the machine on and off only with dry hands;
Cut off the power cord and break the hatch door lock when disposing of the unit. This is necessary so that small children do not lock themselves in the car if they play with it.
When connecting and installing the device, follow all rules. This will avoid electric shock, water leakage, fire and other accidents.

Installation of the device

Before operating the washing equipment, it is necessary to remove the transport fasteners. They may be needed in the future when transporting the device, so they should be saved.

Four bolts are located at the rear of the machine. Unscrew them using the SW 13 key. You need to insert plugs into the bolt holes.

The installation location of the device plays a very important role. The stability of the machine will depend on it. Washing equipment should be placed on a smooth and hard surface. There should be no carpet or other soft coverings on it. It is advisable to install the device on a tiled or concrete floor.

If installation will be carried out on a plank floor or plinth, then the surface must be prepared in advance. In this case, a water-repellent wooden board with a thickness of 30 millimeters is screwed to the floor. And the legs of the washing machine need to be secured with special retaining tongues WMZ 2200.

Bosch Maxx 4 can be placed under a solid countertop. In this case, instead of a plastic top cover, a cover made of sheet metal is installed.

The inlet hose is connected only to a cold water supply.

There are several connection methods:

To a separate pipe;
To the kitchen sink faucet;
To the bath faucet.

The hose has plastic nuts. Therefore, you need to screw them on by hand, without over-tightening. The inlet hose must be taut. Make sure it doesn't bend.

Washing modes

The required washing program is selected by turning the knob located on the control panel.

The Bosch Maxx 4 model contains the following washing modes:

White linen. Suitable for washing heavily soiled cotton items.
Intensive wash. This mode is used when you need to wash very dirty things.
Washing colored laundry with pre-soaking. The laundry soaking cycle occurs at a water temperature of 60 0.
Colored linen. This mode is used for washing cotton and linen items. It differs from the previous program in that it does not soak things.
Synthetics. This program is suitable for washing mixed fabrics.
Wool. Program for washing woolen items.
Thin linen. Used when washing delicate fabrics (silk, tulle, etc.).

The program selector also allows you to select the spin, rinse and drain functions.

The control panel contains buttons with which you can select the following additional functions:

Quick wash mode;
Additional rinse;
Reducing the spin speed;
Stops the selected program without draining the drum. In other words, this button turns off the spin cycle.

Answers to popular questions

Users often have questions about the operation of the washing machine. Below are brief answers to the most common ones.

How to remove the lock and unlock the door? Some models are equipped with a child lock feature - the control panel is locked so that a child cannot change the settings. For example, for the WAW 28440 OE model, to activate this option, you need to simultaneously press and hold the “End in -” and “End in +” buttons for three seconds. Unlocking is carried out in a similar way. As for the door, it automatically locks when the machine starts working, and then the lock is also automatically released at the end of the wash cycle, which includes draining. In some models, it is possible to open the door after the program has started in order to reload forgotten items - this can be done by pressing a special key while the machine has not yet filled with water.
How to open the door/lid/hatch? Based on the above, access to the drum can only be gained after the machine has drained the water. Accordingly, you must either wait until the end of the wash or install a forced drain (for example, if you urgently need to stop washing and remove something from the drum). If the tank is already empty, but the door still remains locked, then in this case a malfunction or breakdown can be assumed. Reboot the machine (unplug it for 20-30 minutes) - if it was a failure due to the board, then after the reboot the door will open. If this does not help, then you will have to call customer service.
How to clean the washing machine and filter? The manufacturer does not recommend using folk remedies such as vinegar or citric acid to clean washing machines, as this can have a bad effect on the rubber and plastic parts located inside the device. It is better to use a special tool. It must be placed in the machine and run a self-cleaning program or just a washing program at maximum temperature (it is better to clarify this point in the instructions for each specific model).
How to drain the water? This can be done by running the drain program, or forcefully if some kind of failure has occurred in the machine and the water does not drain. To do this, you need to wait until it cools down, open the service cover, remove the emergency drain hose from the holders and lower it into a bucket or basin. And then open the pump cover and drain the residue. If an emergency hose is not provided, then water can be drawn through the filter hole located in the lower part of the housing.
How to get the bone and how to get to the drum? A bra underwire is perhaps the main enemy of any washing machine. If it is not pulled out in time, it can lead to the most serious consequences. The easiest way to get this part is if it has not completely fallen through and one end sticks out of the drum hole: then you need to grab it with pliers or tweezers and pull it out. It’s worse if the bone falls through completely—in this case, you’ll have to disassemble the car and get to the insides. But first check whether it has slipped into the filter or pump - and if it is not there, then it means that it remains somewhere inside, and the intervention of a qualified specialist will be required.
How to soak laundry? Heavily soiled items are not washed during the normal cycle, so they require additional treatment. Clothes can either be soaked separately and then placed in the machine and set to a standard program, or set to a pre-wash program.
How to turn off the sound? The sound signal when the wash is finished is a convenient feature, but sometimes it gets in the way. In this case, you can disable it. For example, on the WAN 2416 SOE model, you must first enable configuration mode. The volume of information signals is adjusted by pressing the “End in” key with the programmer set to position “2”, and the volume of the key signal is adjusted by the same key with the programmer set to position “3”.

How to start the wash?

When starting the washing machine, you first need to turn on the cold water supply. Then you need to connect the equipment to the electrical network. Using the selector, select the desired program.

The buttons on the control panel allow you to select an additional function if necessary. Next you need to click the “Start” button. At this moment the washing process should start. Now you just need to wait for the process to complete.

In some cases, it is necessary to stop the running program and change the washing mode.

To do this you need to do the following:

The program selector must be set to the “zero” position.
Wait a couple of seconds and select a new washing mode.
Start the wash by pressing the appropriate button. The washing program will change and the laundry process will begin again.

It is important not only to choose the right washing mode, but also to pour the detergent into the correct compartment of the powder receptacle. To avoid mistakes at this stage, you need to know how the dispenser works.

The Bosch Maxx 4 powder receptacle contains only three sections:

Compartment for air conditioner (in the middle);
Section for main detergent (left). This compartment is also designed for bleach;
Soaking section (right).

What to do if there is a failure?

If a program malfunction occurs during operation of the washing machine, the error must be reset. Procedure:

set the programmer to the “Off” position;
press the “Start” button, then turn the controller one notch back (counterclockwise);
release the pressed key, turn the selector again to the “Off” value.

This algorithm will help you reset the error on Bosch Serie series machines. The procedure may vary on other models. If there are no instructions for resetting the error, you can simply reboot the device by leaving it turned off for 15 minutes.

Equipment care

When cleaning your washing machine, the first thing you need to do is disconnect it from the power supply to avoid getting an electric shock. The outside of the device should be wiped with a mild soap solution. There is no need to use solvents and all kinds of cleaning products. The washed machine should be thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth.

It is recommended to wipe the drum with a dry cloth after each wash. It is also important to wipe the rubber cuff. Then an unpleasant odor and mold will not appear in the washing machine.

To remove limescale and scale from equipment, special products should be used. Such products must be used with caution, as they contain acids.

The detergent container should be cleaned and rinsed after every 3-4 washes. It is also necessary to periodically clean the fill and drain filters. But you don't have to do this too often. The drain filter is located in the lower corner of the device. And the inlet filter is located at the connection point between the inlet hose and the body of the machine.

Model with night option

Not all Bosch machine models have the night wash function, but you can find it quite often in modern devices from this manufacturer. An example is the Bosch WLG2426SOE washing machine, which belongs to the MAXX5 line, produced under the famous German brand. The main advantages of this model: small size (45 cm wide with a maximum load of 5 kg), LED display on the front, affordable price for many consumers, etc.

The machine is equipped with the latest Strong Power Drive motor, resistant to mechanical stress, durable and wear-resistant. Models in the MAXX5 line use Vario Perfect technology, which has 2 components: Vario Perfect and ECO. By activating this function, you can significantly reduce the time and material costs of regular washing.

The washing machine has a delayed start programmed. This means that the equipment can be automatically started after a certain period of time within a day, and not immediately after switching on. This way, you can do laundry without compromising your personal schedule.

To clean children's clothes and linen used by people with allergic reactions, there is a WATER+ function. Things take much longer to rinse than usual. This allows you to completely wash out any remaining detergents.

Important! When turning on the WATER+ mode, it is recommended to use gel-like products rather than powders to better rinse chemicals from fabrics.

Voltage surges or surges often occur in the electrical network. The Volt Check function helps protect equipment from such phenomena and ensure its safety. If there is an urgent need, the machine will automatically stop the wash cycle.

Features of the Bosch SMA

There are brand names that do not need advertising. Among them is the oldest German company Bosch, which has been producing household appliances for the last hundred years. In order for washing machines to safely exhaust their service life, you need to use them correctly.

Long service life. The quality of the assembly practically does not depend on the country of origin - the company, valuing its reputation, vigilantly monitors production facilities organized in other countries.
Economical use of resources. Bosch models have an energy efficiency class of at least A+ and A++.
Automatic weighing. The device itself calculates the optimal consumption of water and powder.
The VarioSoft drum ensures gentle washing of delicate fabrics.

Among the disadvantages of Bosch, experts and users note:

noisy spin operation;
higher cost compared to analogues.

How does this option work?

When washing in night mode, the device operates as quietly as possible. All noisy stages are skipped, and when the washing machine finishes operating, no sound signal is heard. The noise is reduced by reducing the spin intensity, the maximum number of revolutions is 700.

However, experienced users note that Bosch appliances with a night wash program create almost as much noise as other models. When the living space is very small, all sounds will be clearly audible. If the owners are light sleepers, they are unlikely to want to start the device at night. At the same time, installing and launching equipment in a large house away from the bedrooms will not harm the owners’ rest in any way.

Why are icons needed?

If you write all the options in words on the control panel, it will be completely covered with inscriptions - this is inconvenient to read and complicates the search for the desired mode. So that the user can quickly find the desired function, associative pictures are used that make them think about a specific process. The pictures are easy to remember, the main thing is that once you find out what they mean, it will be easy for your memory to choose the right option.

The manufacturer used intuitive drawings to indicate options. For example, a butterfly. Most people associate it with tenderness and lightness. It is not difficult to guess that we are talking about a delicate washing mode. Users with insufficiently developed associative thinking may have difficulty deciphering pictures on their own - the instructions will help them. Advantages of drawings over inscriptions:

take up less space;
informative;
easy to decipher.

One small picture can contain the amount of information presented in 2-3 sentences.

How are the icons deciphered in Bosch?

All pictures depicted on SMA models from the Bosch brand can be divided into three categories:

Icons about things. They specify what exactly is being washed - jeans, curtains, shoes, children's or sports items.
About the type of fabric. Indicate the material used to make the products - cotton, wool, silk, synthetics.
Programs and subroutines.
Special features.

Let's give descriptions of the pictures used by the German brand and take a closer look at their classification.

Basic icons

These include drawings that are used in all Bosch models:

Identification of the on/off button. It looks like a circle with a vertical line inside.
Wash. The picture is a basin half filled with water. There are many process options - manual, preliminary, delicate, express, economy.
Rinsing. Basin with water.
Spin. Twisted spiral. A choice of speeds is provided.

Items and types of fabrics

The mode is selected depending on the material of manufacture and purpose of the product:

A shirt hung on a hook is for synthetics. The duration of the program is determined by the drum load. Range - from half an hour to 1.5 hours. Water heating - up to 40 °C. Synthetic items washed in this mode are completely safe.
Floral dress and bodysuit. For cotton. Duration: 2 hours. Time varies depending on additional options selected. Maximum temperature: 90–95 °C.
Dress with a flower and trousers. Combined and quick wash. The duration is determined by the load on the drum and the model. So, Bosch classixx 5 machines wash in this mode for half an hour, and logixx 6 - 50 minutes. The maximum water heating in express mode is 50 °C.

Bosch WLK2426MOE

Almost all Bosch washing machines have a “Wool” washing program, and the WLK2426MOE is no exception. Here the wool mode is activated by turning the selector 6 positions. The following cycle parameters are automatically set:

duration – 40 minutes;
spin speed – 800 rpm;
temperature – 40 degrees (you can also choose “30” or “cold”).

The drum rotates according to a special, delicate algorithm. First, water is poured into the tank, after which the items are slowly scrolled, becoming saturated with moisture. Then the movement stops, occasionally interrupting for 1-2 full revolutions. For most of the cycle, the clothes lie “quietly”, soaking and being cleaned with detergent.

The “Wool” program on Bosch offers water heating to a maximum of 40 degrees.

At about 23 minutes the drain occurs, and at 17 the first rinse starts. Then the initial rotation-stop pattern is repeated, after which the machine switches to spinning. The wrung out laundry is rinsed again, with the rinse aid or conditioner removed from the powder receptacle. Afterwards, the washing machine accelerates again and produces clean, damp clothes.

How to set the optimal mode?

Before setting up your washing machine, study the items you are about to wash. If you are not sure what kind of material it is and what tests it can be subjected to, study the label with conventional drawings. On the label, which is attached to literally every item, there is information about the composition of the fabric, as well as about the permissible temperature, the use of detergents, bleaches, etc. There are products for which automatic washing is contraindicated - it is recommended to wash them by hand.

In Bosch washing machines, icons are shown near the rotary switch - with one movement of the hand, the appropriate program is selected. You can limit yourself to this, or you can make adjustments to the selected program or add additional options, improving the quality of washing.

LG F10B8QD1

The wool mode on the LG F10B8QD1 is practically no different from the Bosch version, offering a new, improved algorithm. The program is activated by turning the selector to 3 positions, after which the standard settings light up: water temperature - up to 40 degrees, spin - 800 revolutions, and wash duration - 60 minutes. The first two indicators can be varied by reducing the heating to zero or 20, and setting the push-up intensity to 400 or turning it off altogether.

The cycle follows the usual pattern: adding water, washing, rinsing and spinning. But there are noticeable deviations from the standard process:

water enters the drum in small portions;
the drum often stands still, allowing things to soak and become saturated with detergent;
drum scrolling is intermittent;
After spinning, rinsing is repeated, taking the rinse aid out of the tray.

The new algorithm implies the most delicate handling of wool, but you should not expect high-quality washing with this mode. There are cases when some areas of loaded items remained dry before spinning. Therefore, it is worth reducing the amount of laundry you load or choosing a different program.

Useful tips

The conventional images used in Bosch devices are in many ways similar to the images printed on clothing labels. This makes choosing the appropriate mode easier. Selection tips:

Be sure to study the label attached to the clothing - decipher the icons depicted on it.
Find out exactly what effect a particular option will have on a particular item before you install it.
Do not load white and colored items into the drum at the same time.
For expensive delicate items, it is better to choose hand washing.
Try to wash things in special bags. This applies, first of all, to shoes, linen and products with accessories.
