:Warning
Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of scalding
if you come into contact with hot water
(e.g. when draining hot water into a
washbasin).
Do not reach into the hot water.
Caution!
Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the
washbasin or the connection point
during draining due to high water
pressure, any escaping water may
cause water damage.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the drain hose is immersed
in the drained water, water may be
sucked back into the appliance and
may damage the appliance/fabrics.
Make sure that:
■ The plug does not block drainage
from the washbasin.
■ The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
■ The water drains away quickly
enough.
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.
Connection
■ Drainage into a washbasin
■ Drainage into a siphon
The connection point must be
secured using a hose clamp with a
diameter of 24 - 40 mm (available
from specialist dealers).
■ Drainage into a plastic pipe with
rubber bushing or into a drainage
pit

In total, there are 16 different types of
stain to choose from.
Types of stain that can be selected:
Do not let stains dry. Remove solid
substances beforehand.
Select a programme with a stain type:
1. Arrange items of washing as usual.
2. Select a programme.
3. Load the washing machine
4. Select a stain type (depending on
the selected programme).
~ Page 28
5. Start the programme.
The washing machine adjusts the
average washing temperature, drum
movement and soaking time to the
specific type of stain. Hot or cold water,
gentle or intensive washing and long or
short soaking ensure that the wash-
programme sequence is specially
adapted to each type of stain. This
makes sure that stains are treated in the
best possible way.
The treatment of two stains explained
in the following example:
Blood
Blood is first “dissolved” in cold water,
then the selected wash programme
starts.
Egg
Egg particles are removed by soaking
in the lukewarm water bath, selecting a
wash cycle with a high water level and
running additional rinse cycles.
Following intensive research, we have
developed comparable solutions for
other stains.

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. for 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. ~ Page 54
■ Wait until the Bosch logo no longer
appears before adding laundry.
■ The load screen appears when the
door is opened or when the amount
