How to use a Bosch washing machine?

Bosch washing machines are very popular. This is not surprising when you consider all of their many benefits. However, the machines should only be used after reading the operating instructions. This is partly due to the fact that on many models of this company, icons are selected to indicate modes. Thus, the choice of the required mode is somewhat difficult.

The control panel on modern washing units takes up quite a bit of space. That is why badges are more often applied to it, and not inscriptions. At first, the pictures seem inconvenient, but over time they are remembered, and the necessary modes are found quickly and easily.

Of course, all the icons are collected and decoded in the instructions. Before using the machine, be sure to familiarize yourself with all the symbols in the pictures. Each model is equipped with buttons that turn on and off the machine, activate the washing, rinsing and spinning modes.

It is necessary to choose a washing mode depending on the type of fabric and items. Typically, Bosch machine models have from 12 to 16 modes. Among them, the most common are a shirt on a hanger (for washing synthetics), pants (for washing jeans), a dress and trousers with a flower (for a quick wash), a basin with a palm and yarn (for washing delicate fabrics and wool), and so on. ...

Some washing models, for example Bosch Maxx 5 have special functions. For example, a picture in the form of a basin with a vertical strip allows for soaking, and an iron for easy ironing. For stains that are difficult to remove, there is a function indicated by a T-shirt with a black blotch. There is also an additional rinse, which is indicated by the icon in the form of a basin of water and an arrow with an up arrow. If desired, you can turn off the sound on the buttons using the instructions.

The first start-up of the washing unit must be done without clothes. Washing powder can be added, but in very small quantities. The instruction manual contains all the nuances that are characteristic of a particular model of the washing machine. Washing in a new machine begins with the need to close the hatch.

Aggregate models may differ in the type of loading of things: with horizontal and vertical loading. Of course, horizontal options are more common, in which the hatch doors close until they click. In the vertical type, the drum closes first, and then the hatch.

After that, it is necessary to fill in the detergent intended for automatic washing machines. After that, the device should be connected to the electrical network. The first start-up of the washing machine will not happen without being connected to the mains. Next, you need to select a program. It is correct to choose a short cycle for the very first wash, which will take about half an hour. Now you need to turn on the Bosch washing machine and observe the progress of the wash.

When checking the device, you cannot just turn on the unit and go to another room. It is important to keep an eye on how the entire process is going to make sure everything is working correctly. If any deviation is found, you should immediately stop washing. In the event that everything was good with the machine, then you can wash on it in accordance with the instructions.

If such moments are identified, it is worth contacting the service center to a specialist. Sometimes the machine can make a lot of noise due to the fact that it is installed on an uneven surface. Transportation bolts can also make a lot of noise.

At the end of the wash, do not immediately try to open the hatch, as the cycle may not be completed yet. Wait until all indicators are activated, which can take from one to three minutes. Most often, a click of the lock is heard, after which the door becomes accurately unlocked. Sometimes, in the event of a power outage, program malfunction, or an incorrectly selected mode, you need to restart the washing machine.

Modern washing units are equipped with high sensitivity filters, so you should choose your detergents carefully. Recently, do-it-yourself laundry detergents from improvised means have become very popular.

However, it is worth remembering that an automatic machine does not belong to them in a typewriter.... As a rule, these experimental formulations do not do well with washing, harm things, and can also damage parts of the device. Another ban on use concerns detergents suitable for hand wash. Such products foam a lot, which will not have the best effect on the washing machine. Even complete burnout of electronics is possible.

Typically, manufacturers of washing machines recommend certain brands of detergent. And the Bosch brand is no exception. On the company's website you can find lists of approved products. It is worth remembering that by choosing funds with a certificate and thoroughly tested, you can extend the service life of the "assistant" for many years.

Most models of the brand's washing devices have different compartments for powder. To see them, you need to pull out the tray. Bleach or powder is usually poured into the compartment on the left side. The container on the right side is needed for the powder if you plan to start the soaking program. An air conditioner must be poured into the central compartment.

There are times when you need to use powder and stain remover at the same time. To do this, powder must be poured into the compartment on the right, and the stain remover must be poured into the first compartment on the left. It is also important to use the correct dosage of detergent. Otherwise, the result may be of poor quality.

To prolong the service life of the washing machine, it must be properly maintained. It is important to carry out complete maintenance of the unit every month. You should start by cleaning the trash filter, from where you need to remove coins, threads and other items. It is also necessary to inspect the seal on the loading door.

The inside of the drum needs to be cleaned regularly as it accumulates dirt residues. Detergent compartments should also be cleaned of any residues that have accumulated in them. There is a flow-through filter on the inlet hose, which should be inspected and cleaned once every couple of months. The drainage system needs to be checked approximately every six months. This part of the device often gets clogged. If you don't pay attention to it, the washing machine will eventually stop working.

The outer casing of the device should also be kept clean. After washing, the drum should be left open until it is completely dry. The rubber seal can be wiped from dirt a couple of times a week and any small debris can be removed. This will prevent mold growth.

So that the heating element does not have to be changed too often, it is worth considering the indicator of water hardness when choosing detergents. A wide range of descaling and anti-scale products are now available. The latter should be added to the powder for washing.

To avoid many unpleasant moments it is worth inspecting things in advance for the presence of various little things in your pockets. At the same time, to wash clothes with a large amount of accessories or jewelry, you should use a special bag.

Washing equipment from Bosch shows high reliability and rarely fails. Malfunctions can be identified by a code that appears on the display. Most often, the following troubles occur with typewriters.

• Water does not drain at the end of the wash. This is because the drain pump is clogged or defective.

• The drum does not move after starting. This malfunction can be caused by a minor breakdown in the engine, an electronics failure, or a torn drive belt. Sometimes the drum works, but with a loud noise. In this case, it is worth checking the serviceability of the shock absorbers and bearings.

• The water does not heat up or is not drawn at the start of the wash. These malfunctions can be easily avoided by installing water purification filters. In this way, the formation of blockages, limescale and rust can be prevented. Also, water collection may not occur due to a breakdown of the inlet hose.

• Unit engine does not start... With this type of breakdown, it is better to contact a professional.
