Always unplug the washing machine from the power  
supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the  
power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.  
Do not machine wash fiberglass materials (such as  
curtains and window coverings that use fiberglass  
materials). Small particles may remain in the washing  
machine and stick to fabrics in subsequent wash loads  
causing skin irritation.  
WARNING  
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been  
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions  
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the  
risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.  
When using appliances, basic safety precautions must  
be followed, including those in the following pages.  
Do not install or store the washer where it will be  
exposed to the weather. Hoses and internal parts may  
be damaged if exposed to freezing temperatures.  
Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of

WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,  
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHEN USING YOUR  
WASHING MACHINE, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS  
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING  
Bosch washers are provided with an Operating, Care  
and Installation Instruction manual. Read and  
understand all instructions before using the washing  
machine.  
Do not wash articles that have been previously  
cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry  
cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive  
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or  
explode.  
intended purpose.  
Always  
follow  
the  
fabric  
care  
instructions  
recommended by the clothing manufacturer.  
Make sure all water connections to the washing  
machine have shut-off valves that are readily  
accessible during normal operation of the washer. Turn  
off both valves during periods in which the washer is  
not in use and before leaving for extended periods  
such as vacations to reduce the risk of water damage  
in the event of a leak. Turn the valves back on prior to  
resuming use of the washer.  
Do not operate the washing machine if parts are  
missing or broken.  
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.  
Do not operate the washing machine until you are sure  
that:  
- the washing machine has been installed according  
to the Installation Instructions.  
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 this  
length of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the  
water flow out of each faucet for several minutes before  
using the washing machine. This will release any  
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,  
do not smoke or use an open flame while carrying out  
this procedure.  
- all water, drain, power and grounding connections  
are in compliance with all local regulations and/or  
other applicable regulations and requirements.  
See the installation instructions in this manual for  
grounding requirements.  
Before the appliance is removed from service or  
discarded, remove the door to prevent children from  
playing or hiding inside. Also remove the power cord/  
plug.  
Do not allow anyone to climb, lean or hang on any part  
of the washer including any protruding components  
such as the appliance door or a pullout shelf.  
Use caution when draining hot water from the washer  
drum such as during pump maintenance or when using  
the emergency door open procedure.  
Do not reach into the appliance if the wash drum is  
moving.  
Do not tamper with the controls.  
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or  
attempt any service unless specifically recommended  
in the user manual or in published user repair  
instructions that you understand and have the skills to  
carry out.

Importance of installing on a solid, level  
floor  
Washer drum contents  
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.  
2 water supply hoses are shipped in the washer drum.  
Be sure to remove each of these items from the drum  
before using the washer.  
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  
1.18 in./30 mm thick).  
secure the front feet of the washing machine with  
holding brackets. A set of holding brackets can be  
obtained from a specialist store or from Customer  
Service (part number WMZ 2200).

Remove the transport bolts  
9
CAUTION  
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE  
The machine is secured for transport with  
transport bolts.  
Transport bolts that are not removed can damage  
the drum during operation of the machine, the  
washer will vibrate, and it will be much noisier  
during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not  
removed before use.  
Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts  
completely before first use. Keep the transport  
bolts.  
NOTICE: Keep the assemblies together and store them  
for later use such as when moving the washer.  
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 hoses from the brackets.  
Water connections  
Water supply hose connections  
NOTICES  
The washing machine must only be operated with cold  
and hot (max. 140 °F/60 °C) tap water. Do not  
connect the appliance to the mixer tap of a  
pressurized hot-water boiler.  
To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water  
valves should be accessible when the washing  
machine is in place and should always be turned off  
when the washing machine is not in use.  
2. Loosen and remove all 4 transport bolts.  
Remove the sleeves. Take the power cable out of the  
brackets.  
If installing the washing machine in a new building or a  
building in which the plumbing system was recently  
installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing  
the washing machine to remove any sand, dirt or  
residue.  
To prevent leakage or water damage, follow the  
instruction in this chapter.  
If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a  
technican.  
Connect your washer to the wall faucets using the  
included AquaShield water supply hose.  
Observe each of the following:  
3. Place covers over the transport bolt holes  
Four plastic covers are provided in the small parts bag  
included with your washer. Separate these covers and  
install one in each hole where the transport bolts were  
removed.  
Only use the new water supply hose shipped with your  
washer. Never connect old used hoses.  
The water supply hoses must not be kinked, bent or  
flattened in such a way as to potentially diminish water  
flow.  
Lock covers firmly by pressing on the snap hook.  
Insert hose holder. Secure hoses in the hose holders.  
The water supply pressure must be between 14,5 to  
145 psi (1 - 10 bar) with a minimum of 2.2 U.S. gallons  
(8 liters) of flow per minute. A pressure regulator valve  
must be installed if the maximum water pressure is  
exceeded.

Make sure the water supply faucet is easily accessible  
when the washer is in use. The faucet should be  
turned off if the washer is going to be unused for  
extended periods of time.  
About the AquaShield Hose  
Make sure rubber washers are in place at both ends of  
the water supply hose. Missing washers could cause  
leaks.  
The connection points are under full water pressure.  
Turn on the water tap and check for leaks.  
Periodically inspect the water supply hose and replace  
with a new hose if cuts, kinks or leaks are observed.  
The AquaShield hose prevents potential flooding in the  
event the hose develops an internal leak. If the hose  
leaks, the indicator turns red and water flow is blocked.  
Water drain hose connection  
NOTICES  
Do not reuse an old drain hose. Only use the drain  
hose and parts included with your washer.  
Do not kink or modify the water drain hose.

WARNING  
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make  
sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no  
"give" or movement. All four washer feet should press  
equally against the floor. This is just as important as  
the washer being level to prevent vibration.

SCALDING  
When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk  
of scalding if you touch hot suds, e.g. when  
pumping out hot suds into a wash basin.  
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock  
the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts  
against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without  
changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while  
tightening the locknut).  
Do not reach into the hot suds.  
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:

CAUTION  
APPLIANCE DAMAGE/DAMAGE TO TEXTILES  
If the end of the drain hose is dipped into the  
pumped-out water, water can be sucked back into  
the appliance and can damage the appliance/  
textiles.  
Make sure that:  
The sealing plugs do not seal the drain of the wash  
basin.  
1. After determining which washer feet need to be  
extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly  
to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.  
The end of the drain hose does not dip into the  
pumped-out water.  
The water flows out fast enough.  
2. Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far  
as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the  
correct amount to level the washer.  
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm  
open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the  
washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the  
bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.  
Electrical connection  
9
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK  
Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin.  
Improper connection of the ground may result in  
electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a  
qualified technician or licensed electrician if you are  
in doubt as to whether the washer has been  
properly grounded.  
NOTICE: In any multi-story installation, the washer  
should be installed on a drained floor to prevent water  
damage to rooms below in the event of a leak.  
Leveling the washer  
Importance of leveling the washer  
Your new washer uses high spins speeds to remove  
water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that  
your washer is level and that all four washer feet press  
with equal pressure against the floor. This will help  
assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your  
washer.  
9
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK  
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO  
NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to  
connect the washing machine to the power supply.  
Follow these steps:  
1. Install the washer on a level and solid surface,  
preferably in a corner of a room.  
9
WARNING  
2. If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet  
as required to level the washer. Do not place anything  
under the washer feet to help level the washer.  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:  
Only pull out the main cable by the plug and  
never by the cable, as this could damage it.  
Never touch or hold the main plug with wet  
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The  
more the feet are extended, the more vibration the  
washer will experience. Start with the washer feet  
turned all the way in and adjust each foot as  
necessary.  
hands.  
Never unplug the main plug during operation.  
4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to  
make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.

Grounding Instructions  
Transporting the washer  
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of  
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk  
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance  
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a  
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a  
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an  
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded  
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
Before transporting the washer  
1. Disconnect the washer power cord from the wall  
outlet.  
2. Turn off the water supply to the washer.  
3. Disconnect water supply lines from the tap.  
4. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain location.  
5. Install the transport bolt assemblies as shown below.  
Important Points  
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If  
the plug will not fit into the outlet have a properly  
grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do  
not cut, remove or bypass the grounding prong on the  
washer power cord plug.  
Remove the transport bolt hole covers  
The washer power cord plug must be easily  
accessible when the washer is operating.  
When unplugging or plugging in the washer power  
cord, grasp the plug. Do not pull on the power cord to  
unplug the washer.  
The household electrical supply must be suitable for  
the voltage specification shown on the washer rating  
plate (located inside the washer door, immediately  
below the drum opening).  
1. Remove all four transport bolt hole covers.  
2. Pull the tip of the arrow on the cover out slightly to  
See the table below for connection specfications and  
fuse/breaker requirements.  
disengage the locking tab.  
3. Rotate the cover counterclockwise to remove. Repeat  
for all 4 transport bolt hole covers.

The wiring for the electrical outlet circuit must be  
sufficient to meet the appliance requirements. Use of a  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is  
recommended.  
Protect the power cord from physical damage, such as  
being twisted, kinked, pinched, caught in a door, or  
walked upon.  
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a  
qualified person to avoid a fire/shock hazard.  
Replacement power cords are available through  
Customer Service.  
1. Each assembly consists of a plastic bushing and a  
bolt that extends through the bushings. Unscrew the  
bolt until the threaded end is flush with the end of the  
plastic bushing.  
The washing machine must only be connected to an  
individual branch circuit via a socket which has been  
properly installed and grounded.  
2. Insert the transportation bolt and bushing assembly as  
shown. The metal housing slides around the bolt  
through the slot in the plastic bushing as the bushing  
is slid into place. The open part of the bushing slot  
should be facing the direction shown to allow the  
assembly to slide fully into place.  
Make sure that:  
- the power plug fits into the socket  
- the wire size is sufficient  
- the grounding system is properly installed:  
3. When the bolt is in place screw it in until the bolt  
threads engage the drum. Double check and ensure  
bolts are screwed into threaded holes and not into  
adjecent cracks or crevices. Repeat the process for all  
4 transportation bolt assemblies before tightening any  
all the way. Complete tightening all 4 bolt assemblies  
until they are each snug in place.  
The power cord may be replaced by an electrican  
only. Replacement power cords are available from  
Customer Service. To reduce the risk of fire or  
electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an  
adapter to connect the washing machine to the power  
supply. If a ground fault circuit breaker is to be used,  
only use the types marked with the following symbol:  
z. Only this symbol can guarantee compliance with  
all current regulations.

Cleaning and maintenance  
Your washer is designed to give you many years of  
service. Observe the following instructions to maintain  
and protect your washer and keep it in top operating  
condition.  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives, or  
if the softener compartment is not rinsed out well  
enough, it may be helpful to clean the dispenser.

WARNING  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!  
To avoid risk of electric shock always disconnect  
the washer from the power outlet prior to cleaning.  
Never clean the washer with a pressure washer.  
Cleaning the housing and control panel  
9
WARNING  
1. Open the dispenser drawer fully. Press down on the  
drawer catch (1) and pull the drawer (2) from the  
washer housing.  
RISK OF EXPLOSION!  
To avoid risk of explosion never clean the washer  
with flammable solvents.  
2. Remove the liquid detergent insert (3) by grasping it  
and pulling it upwards from the detergent dispenser  
drawer.  
As required, you may clean the washer housing and  
control panel.  
- use hot soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleansing  
agent.  
3. Clean the insert by holding it under warm running  
water. Lightly wipe away any remaining detergent  
residue.  
4. Reinsert the liquid detergent insert and slide the  
detergent dispenser drawer back into place and close  
the drawer securely.  
- Dry with a soft towel.  
- Remove residue immediately.  
- Do not use high pressure spray.  
Tip: Do not operate the washer without the detergent  
drawer in place and completely closed.  
Cleaning the drum  
Metallic debris left in the drum can produce rust spots on  
the drum. Never use steel wool to try to remove these.  
Cleaning the water inlet strainers  
If the washer water supply slows or stops completely, the  
water inlet strainer may be blocked. Cleaning is  
recommended every 6 months in any event to reduce  
chances of valve blockage in areas using hard water.  
Use a chlorine-free cleansing agent and follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
Descaling the washer  
Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent with  
your wash loads, descaling is not necessary. If descaling  
the washer drum does become necessary, please follow  
the descaling product manufacturer’s instructions.  
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to  
remove white spots on the washer drum caused by lime  
or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust caused by  
metal objects left in the drum.  
Release the water under pressure in the supply hoses  
Normal water pressure in your home will cause some  
water to leak when you remove the water supply hose  
from the back of the washer. You can minimize this by  
first de-pressurizing the hoses.  
1. Turn off the water tap.  
2. Turn the cycle selector to any wash cycle (not to Drain

supply hose.

Clean the strainers at the water tap end of the hose  
It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if  
the washer fails to drain (sound of water being pumped  
from the washer cannot be heard when the washer  
should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a  
sink, are draining properly).  
The washer pump can become blocked by loose debris  
(a good reason to check the drum and remove any  
visible debris after each load.) Fabrics that give off large  
amounts of fluff may also cause blockage.  
To access the washer drain pump, the service cover  
must first be removed (see steps below). With the service  
cover removed, proceed as follows:  
1. If the washer has not been drained, try to drain it now.  
Turn the cycle selector to the Spin/Drain cycle, select  
No spin and press the Start/Pause button. Wait a few  
moments to let the cycle drain the water from the  
drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the water will be  
unable to drain and the cycle will end.  
1. Remove the hose from the tap.  
2. Rinse the strainer under running water. Look at the  
strainer to see if any visible debris is still present.  
Rinse again if necessary to remove the debris.  
3. Reconnect the hose to the tap.  
2. Shut off the tap so that no more water flows in and has  
to be drained.  
Clean the strainers at the washer end of the hose  
Switch the appliance off. Unplug the power plug.  
1. Remove the hose from the inlet on the back of the  
washer.  
3. Open and remove the service cover.  
2. Using narrow pliers, grasp and pull the strainer from  
the inlet port.  
3. Rinse the strainer under running water.  
4. Reconnect the hose to the back of the washer and  
turn on the water tap. Check to see if water flows by  
starting a warm water wash cycle.  
NOTICE: Check for leaks to be sure the rubber washers  
are seated at both ends of the water supply hose and the  
connections are properly tightened.  
4. Loosen the screws and remove the protective film.

5. Use the pull-out drain hose located in the pump  
access opening to drain the remaining water into a  
suitable container (up to 5.3 U.S. gallons/20 liters of  
water may be drained). Pull the sealing cap from the  
hose and lay the hose over the side of the container  
and allow the water to finish draining from the drum.  
When finished, replace the sealing cap into the end of  
the hose and restore the hose to its storage location.  
6. Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A  
small amount of residual water may flow out when the  
cover is removed.  
Clean the interior of the pump housing, removing any  
debris or foreign objects. Check to be sure the  
impeller wheel at the back of the pump housing can  
now turn freely.  
Remove any lint, debris or detergent residue from the  
threads of the pump cover and the pump cover  
housing.  
Replace the pump cover and tighten the screws.  
Handle must be vertical.  
7. Screw the protective film on the pump on again.  
8. Insert the service cover snap it in, and close it.  
NOTICE: In order to prevent detergent from flowing  
unused into the drain during the next wash cycles: pour  
0.26 U.S. gallons/1 liter water into the chamber II.  
Turn the cycle selector to the Spin/Drain cycle, select No  
spin and press the Start/Pause button.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY  
Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect  
Bosch Clothes Washer  
in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to  
repair the Product have been made without success,  
then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models  
may be available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for  
an additional charge). All removed parts and  
components shall become the property of Bosch at its  
sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall  
assume the identity of the original part for purposes of  
this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with  
respect to such parts. Bosch's sole liability and  
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The  
limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances  
Corporation (Bosch) in this Statement of Limited Product  
Warranty applies only to the Bosch Clothes Washer  
("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, but  
strictly conditioned on the Product having been  
purchased: (1) for your normal, household (non-  
commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been  
used for normal household purposes (any commercial  
use or setting of the Product automatically voids the  
warranty); (2) new at retail (not a display, "as is", or  
previously returned model) purchased directly by the  
end-user consumer, and not for resale, or commercial  
use; and (3) within the United States or Canada, and has  
at all times remained within the country of original  
purchase. The warranties stated herein apply only to the  
first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.  
Bosch reserves the right to request proof of purchase at  
the time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm that  
the Product falls within the scope of this limited product  
warranty. The warranty is automatically void if the Product  
was a display model, sold "as is", tampered with, a  
damaged or "scratch and dent" model, or a previously  
returned model, a free give-away, charitable donation or  
contest prize.  
responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-  
defective Product only, using a Bosch-authorized service  
provider during normal business hours. For safety and  
property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends  
that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or  
use an un-authorized servicer; Bosch will have no  
responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by  
a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have  
someone other than an authorized service provider work  
on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL  
AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized  
service providers are those persons or companies that  
have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who  
possess, in Bosch's opinion, a superior reputation for  
customer service and technical ability (note that they are  
independent entities and are not agents, partners,  
affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding  
the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have  
responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote  
area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service  
provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous,  
threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or  
environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch  
would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to  
the nearest authorized service provider, but you would  
still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or  
other special charges by the service company, assuming  
they agree to make the service call.  
Limitation for Third Party Accessories and Water  
Supply Hoses: Third party accessories, including water  
supply hoses other than those shipped with your Bosch  
washer, and any consequential damages resulting  
therefrom, are not covered by this warranty. This  
limitation expressly includes the implied warranties of  
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,  
which are also expressly excluded with respect to third  
party accessories, including water supply hoses other  
than those shipped with your Bosch washer. Use of third  
party accessories, including water supply hoses other  
than those shipped with your Bosch washer, does not  
void this warranty on any other part, and all other  
provisions of this warranty remain in effect.  
LENGTH OF WARRANTY  
2 year Limited Warranty on Drive Motor from Date of  
Purchase  
Please make sure to return your registration card; while  
not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the  
best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a  
safety notice or product recall.  
How Long the Warranty Lasts: Bosch warrants that the  
Product is free from defects in materials and  
workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-five days  
(365) days from the date of purchase. The foregoing  
timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and  
shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for  
any reason whatsoever.  
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this  
warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service  
providers will repair your Product without charge to you
