Installation checklist
Review the following list and check off each step as it is
completed during installation.
Importance of installing on a solid, level
floor
Your new Bosch washing machine utilizes high spin
speeds to achieve superior water removal from your
laundry resulting in reduced drying time. It is important to
install your washing machine on a floor that will provide
firm support. This prevents the washer from experiencing
excess vibration during spinning that could cause the
washer to move or be noisy.
The installation surface must be solid and level in both
directions. Avoid installing your washer on soft surfaces
such as floors with carpet or foam backed covering
material.
If installing the washer on a wooden floor, observe the
following:
▯
install the washer in a corner for better support if
possible.
▯
if necessary, reinforce the floor by screwing a water
resistant wooden board to the floor (minimum of
1-1/8 in. / 28.5 mm thick).
Remove the transport bolts

CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR INJURY
POSSIBLE
▯
The machine is secured for transport with
transport bolts.
REMOVE ALL TRANSPORT BOLTS BEFORE
OPERATING WASHER. Washer will vibrate and
could cause damage if transport bolts are not
removed before use. Washer will be much noisier
during spin cycles if transport bolts are not
removed.
Save the transport bolts.
If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it
must be installed first, prior to removing the
transport bolts. Please consult the pedestal
installation instructions.
▯
In order to prevent transport damage during later
transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before
transport.
1.
Remove drain hose from all brackets.
2.
Loosen and remove all 4 transport bolts.
Remove the sleeves. Take the power cable out of the
brackets.
