Placing laundry into the drum
:
Warning
Risk of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent,
may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse these items of laundry
thoroughly beforehand.
Load the pre-sorted, unfolded laundry
into the drum. The load screen for the
selected programme (e.g.
Easy-Care
)
is indicated on the display panel.
The load bar fills as the laundry is
loaded. If the maximum load is
exceeded, the bar flashes. Observe the
maximum indicated load. Overfilling
adversely affects the washing result and
encourages creasing.
Notes
■
Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual laundry
items may cause an unbalanced
load.
■
Wait until the Bosch logo no longer
appears before adding laundry.
■
The load screen appears when the
door is opened or when the amount
of laundry is changed.
Measure and add detergent
and care products
For the majority of programmes on your
washing machine, detergent and fabric
softener are dosed automatically; it is a
factory setting for these programmes
and can be changed.
In addition to intelligent dosing, you can
manually add cleaning aids (e.g.
softener, bleach or stain remover) to
compartment
v
u
, if necessary.
For programmes without intelligent
dosing, or as desired (in which case,
set intelligent dosing to
ö
(off)),
detergent can be added manually to
compartment
v
u
.
Start the programme
Make sure that no items of laundry are
trapped between the door and the
rubber seal, and close the door.
The main menu for the selected
programme is indicated again on the
display panel.
Press the
A
button to start the
programme.
During washing, the progress of the
programme is displayed in a bar on the
display panel. The bar fills in during the
washing cycle and provides information
about the current progress of the
programme.
The arrows fade in and out according to
the progress of the programme. They
indicate the programme settings/
options which can be changed/added
as the programme progresses.
