Manufacturers of Bosch washing equipment provide detailed operating instructions. The manual for the machine contains all the information that a future owner of the equipment may need: safety precautions, general rules of use, recommendations, etc.

This article contains brief instructions for the Bosch Maxx 4 washing machine, which will help you understand the equipment.

Safe Operation

According to the instructions for the Bosch MAXX 4 washing machine:

The device must be connected exclusively to cold water supply. The range is intended for use at home only.
It is not recommended to allow small children and pets near the device.
The glass of the protective cover can reach high temperatures during washing, so it is not recommended to touch it during the process.
The control system and electrical cord of the washing machine should only be touched with dry hands.

To reduce the likelihood of premature failure of the device and harm to the health of consumers, it is necessary to follow all the rules for operating the device specified in the instructions for the Bosch MAXX 4.

Safety precautions

To ensure safe operation of washing equipment, you must carefully read the instructions. For it, you should determine a place in the house where it can be immediately found if necessary.

When operating the machine, the following safety rules must be observed:

The device can only be used at home for washing textiles. The machine must be connected to cold water;
Keep pets and small children away from the equipment;
Do not touch the glass of the machine door while it is in operation. The glass can be very hot.
Turn the machine on and off only with dry hands;
Cut off the power cord and break the hatch door lock when disposing of the unit. This is necessary so that small children do not lock themselves in the car if they play with it.
When connecting and installing the device, follow all rules. This will avoid electric shock, water leakage, fire and other accidents.

Varieties of series

There are several series of machines, divided by class and accessory.

The Classixx 2 model is the simplest and most basic level, designed to perform basic functions and do not have certain features. The washing machines of this series do not have any displays or unnecessary parts.

The Maxx 4 series has a display, but with limited functions, they belong to the class of comfortable cars and are more expensive. Max 4 have the 3D-Aquaspar function, the laundry is washed better, three sides are watered with a solution. Many machines are equipped with Vario Perfect technology, which saves energy. And also Speed Perfect, which saves washing time.

The Avantixx6 series are machines with an increased amount of functionality. You can set a delayed start, and all units in this line are equipped with a display with a sufficient number of functions. “Avantix” are quite compact, up to 45 cm deep. The functionality in each individual version may differ. Many machines in this series have a down jacket program.

The Logixx 8 series are the latest development machines. They have a huge range of options and a multifunction display. Thanks to the versatility and modernity of the machine, the clothes in it are distributed according to the type and severity of soiling, so you can slightly refresh your sports clothes and thoroughly wash your work clothes.

“Logix 8” is designed for loading up to 8 kg, despite the fact that it is quite compact in size: 60x60x85 cm.

Bosch Home Professional

Bosch Home Professional washing machines, which can easily be called premium.

They contain:

informative and convenient TFT display;
Vario Soft drum, facilitating asymmetrical gripping of things;

stain removal system and silent motor without brushes;
AntiVibration technology, which promotes quiet operation.

These machines have a lot of capabilities and are quite smart. For example, the washing machine will first soak things stained with blood in cold water, and then wash them.

Are you using citric acid?

Oh yes! No

Let's look at the most common markings in the Bosch lines:

WLX is a model of the max 5 series. It has a narrow body and a convenient display. German assembly.
WAE - machines of this marking are assembled in Turkey and Poland. Only the model marked WAE28441 was assembled in Germany.
WLM - letters like these indicate that it is made in China. You shouldn't buy this, it's a rather unreliable assembly.
WOE means collected in Russia and Belarus, as well as in Ukraine.
WLG is a machine with a narrow body and horizontal loading. 4th series MAXX.
WIK is also narrow and front-loading. Maxx 6th series.
WFC - SMA max4 series narrow, horizontal loading.
WLF is a narrow washing machine from the Classic 5 series.
WLL – Russian assembly, front loading.
WAN is a Polish-made front-loading machine.
Wff is a legendary model with a set of simple functions. It is distinguished by its durability and wear resistance.
WIS - Logixx 7 series. Built-in washing machine made in Germany.
WLO – SMA with front loading. One of Bosch's budget options.

Note that the company also produces free-standing drying machines. But they are not in great demand here.

There are also models on the market with vertical loading of laundry. They are produced in France.

Expert opinion

I work in the household appliance repair industry. Extensive experience in restoring washing machines and dishwashers.

Ask a Question

Important point. Error codes and malfunctions of vertical monitors are not “Bosch”, but Brandt.

Installation of the device

Before operating the washing equipment, it is necessary to remove the transport fasteners. They may be needed in the future when transporting the device, so they should be saved.

Four bolts are located at the rear of the machine. Unscrew them using the SW 13 key. You need to insert plugs into the bolt holes.

The installation location of the device plays a very important role. The stability of the machine will depend on it. Washing equipment should be placed on a smooth and hard surface. There should be no carpet or other soft coverings on it. It is advisable to install the device on a tiled or concrete floor.

If installation will be carried out on a plank floor or plinth, then the surface must be prepared in advance. In this case, a water-repellent wooden board with a thickness of 30 millimeters is screwed to the floor. And the legs of the washing machine need to be secured with special retaining tongues WMZ 2200.

Bosch Maxx 4 can be placed under a solid countertop. In this case, instead of a plastic top cover, a cover made of sheet metal is installed.

The inlet hose is connected only to a cold water supply.

There are several connection methods:

To a separate pipe;
To the kitchen sink faucet;
To the bath faucet.

The hose has plastic nuts. Therefore, you need to screw them on by hand, without over-tightening. The inlet hose must be taut. Make sure it doesn't bend.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any other machine products, this company has its advantages and disadvantages. Bosch washing machines, in addition to durability, are also valued for the modern functions that they contain. Such as, for example, the AquaStop and AquaControl systems, which can protect machines from possible leaks. The VarioSoft drum design protects items from losing their appearance during frequent washing.

Are you unplugging your washing machine?

Oh yes! No

The machines have a program that cleans the drum of dirt and eliminates unpleasant odors. ActiveWater technology is able to calculate the amount of laundry, determine the type of fabric and select the appropriate washing program, which will help save electricity and water costs.

ActiveOxygen technology is able to provide the highest quality wash and remove almost all common types of stains. The economical contactless motor EcoSilenceDrive saves energy by 30% compared to other machines. AntiVibration wall design suppresses vibration and noise for quieter operation. When washing, it is possible to add laundry, as well as control the formation of foam and imbalance.

The disadvantages of the machines from this company are that they do not have a particularly convenient tray for detergents, there are minor problems with locking the hatch, and there is also no automatic shutdown in some models.
There are also technical faults, especially in devices assembled in Russia. In particular, judging by the reviews, there are many complaints about the hatch handle. It either breaks or jumps out of its fastenings. Such a breakdown is typical only for Russian assembly, and this is due to the design feature of the hatch.

Classixx 5 Series

Washing modes

The required washing program is selected by turning the knob located on the control panel.

The Bosch Maxx 4 model contains the following washing modes:

White linen. Suitable for washing heavily soiled cotton items.
Intensive wash. This mode is used when you need to wash very dirty things.
Washing colored laundry with pre-soaking. The laundry soaking cycle occurs at a water temperature of 60 0.
Colored linen. This mode is used for washing cotton and linen items. It differs from the previous program in that it does not soak things.
Synthetics. This program is suitable for washing mixed fabrics.
Wool. Program for washing woolen items.
Thin linen. Used when washing delicate fabrics (silk, tulle, etc.).

The program selector also allows you to select the spin, rinse and drain functions.

The control panel contains buttons with which you can select the following additional functions:

Quick wash mode;
Additional rinse;
Reducing the spin speed;
Stops the selected program without draining the drum. In other words, this button turns off the spin cycle.

How to start the wash?

When starting the washing machine, you first need to turn on the cold water supply. Then you need to connect the equipment to the electrical network. Using the selector, select the desired program.

The buttons on the control panel allow you to select an additional function if necessary. Next you need to click the “Start” button. At this moment the washing process should start. Now you just need to wait for the process to complete.

In some cases, it is necessary to stop the running program and change the washing mode.

To do this you need to do the following:

The program selector must be set to the “zero” position.
Wait a couple of seconds and select a new washing mode.
Start the wash by pressing the appropriate button. The washing program will change and the laundry process will begin again.

It is important not only to choose the right washing mode, but also to pour the detergent into the correct compartment of the powder receptacle. To avoid mistakes at this stage, you need to know how the dispenser works.

The Bosch Maxx 4 powder receptacle contains only three sections:

Compartment for air conditioner (in the middle);
Section for main detergent (left). This compartment is also designed for bleach;
Soaking section (right).

Why does this happen?

Spinning is an important stage of washing. Removing excess water from things manually is not an easy task, and also time-consuming. Therefore, housewives are unpleasantly surprised by wet laundry in the drum, because this promises additional troubles.

It is simply impossible to control how well an automatic machine wrings things out during the washing process. And when the cycle ends, it’s too late to do anything. Therefore, you will have to look for the cause of the malfunction after finishing the program and spinning the laundry manually.

A washing machine may not spin clothes well for various reasons. Basic:

exceeding the maximum permissible load weight. If you push much more clothing into the drum than is allowed, then the machine simply cannot cope with the load;
starting a mode programmed for a low spin speed. For example, when selecting the “Silk” program, automatic spinning may not be provided at all, and the laundry will remain wet;
different densities of the fabric from which the clothes are made. In this case, only part of the laundry will not be wrung out well;
clogged drain system. In this situation, after washing, liquid remains in the drum, so even well-wrung items get wet again. Most often, the problem is in the drainage hose, which does not allow waste to flow into the sewer;
wear of the internal elements of the automatic machine. Usually the reason lies in a broken bearing assembly. A clear symptom indicating a breakdown is loud noise and grinding noise during operation of the equipment;
tachometer malfunction. It may fail if the permissible load weight is regularly exceeded;
foreign object entering the space between the tank and the drum. A foreign body gets stuck and disrupts the smooth operation of the equipment;
pump failure. If the drain pump is faulty, other “symptoms of the disease” may be observed. It is impossible to immediately say whether it is intact; diagnostics of the part will be required.

In addition, problems with the main control module may be the cause of poor spinning. The “brain” of the washing machine is responsible for absolutely all functions. Therefore, you should not exclude the possibility of damage to the block.

Equipment care

When cleaning your washing machine, the first thing you need to do is disconnect it from the power supply to avoid getting an electric shock. The outside of the device should be wiped with a mild soap solution. There is no need to use solvents and all kinds of cleaning products. The washed machine should be thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth.

It is recommended to wipe the drum with a dry cloth after each wash. It is also important to wipe the rubber cuff. Then an unpleasant odor and mold will not appear in the washing machine.

To remove limescale and scale from equipment, special products should be used. Such products must be used with caution, as they contain acids.

The detergent container should be cleaned and rinsed after every 3-4 washes. It is also necessary to periodically clean the fill and drain filters. But you don't have to do this too often. The drain filter is located in the lower corner of the device. And the inlet filter is located at the connection point between the inlet hose and the body of the machine.

Loading laundry

And Explosive!

Things that were previously

treated with cleaning agents containing solvents, e.g.

items.

□ Open the loading hatch door.

□ Distribute pre-sorted

wash the laundry evenly throughout the drum so that it lies loosely, small and large items interspersed.

□ Never overload the machine, as

this impairs washing results and leads to

to severe wrinkles in the laundry.

□ Close the loading hatch door.

Make sure that the laundry is not caught between the door and the rubber cuff.

Features of the Bosch SMA

There are brand names that do not need advertising. Among them is the oldest German company Bosch, which has been producing household appliances for the last hundred years. In order for washing machines to safely exhaust their service life, you need to use them correctly.

Long service life. The quality of the assembly practically does not depend on the country of origin - the company, valuing its reputation, vigilantly monitors production facilities organized in other countries.
Economical use of resources. Bosch models have an energy efficiency class of at least A+ and A++.
Automatic weighing. The device itself calculates the optimal consumption of water and powder.
The VarioSoft drum ensures gentle washing of delicate fabrics.

Among the disadvantages of Bosch, experts and users note:

noisy spin operation;
higher cost compared to analogues.

Simple DIY diagnostics

If you are not once, but periodically, dissatisfied with the way the machine spins things, you need to look for the cause of the malfunction. It is quite possible that the problem is trivial and easy to solve on your own. In some cases, you will need the help of a specialist.

Possible causes should be ruled out starting with the simplest ones. To begin, remove half of the items from the drum and start the spin cycle again. This is probably due to the usual overload of equipment. If the measure helped, there is no need to worry, you just need to more carefully monitor the weight of the laundry you put into the machine.

Be sure to check the parameters of the selected washing mode; perhaps spin is not provided, or its minimum speed is set.

Next, you will have to clean the elements of the drain system - the garbage filter and the drain hose. Perhaps the filter element is clogged, or a blockage has formed in the outlet “sleeve”.

If the situation does not change, check to see if there is a foreign object stuck between the tank and the drum. Usually in this case, washing is accompanied by noise that was not there before. If found, remove the item through the heating element hole.

When you wash items made from coarse fabrics and light materials at the same time in a Bosch machine, try sorting the items and spinning them separately. Sometimes this measure helps solve the problem.

If none of the above steps help, you will have to dig deeper. Perhaps the reason lies in a worn-out bearing assembly, a broken tachometer, or a “burnt out” drain pump. We need to inspect the heating element and engine. If necessary, replace the faulty part with a new one.

If you do not know how to disassemble the washing machine and have no idea about its structure, it is better to invite a specialist.

Why are icons needed?

If you write all the options in words on the control panel, it will be completely covered with inscriptions - this is inconvenient to read and complicates the search for the desired mode. So that the user can quickly find the desired function, associative pictures are used that make them think about a specific process. The pictures are easy to remember, the main thing is that once you find out what they mean, it will be easy for your memory to choose the right option.

The manufacturer used intuitive drawings to indicate options. For example, a butterfly. Most people associate it with tenderness and lightness. It is not difficult to guess that we are talking about a delicate washing mode. Users with insufficiently developed associative thinking may have difficulty deciphering pictures on their own - the instructions will help them. Advantages of drawings over inscriptions:

take up less space;
informative;
easy to decipher.

One small picture can contain the amount of information presented in 2-3 sentences.

Consumer Reviews

Bought for a summer house. She justified herself. It washes not only outer clothing for working in the garden, but also everything else that needs to be washed. At the same time, despite the simplicity of the design, it washes well. There is almost no load on the weak dacha electrical network. It requires almost no attention to itself. We are glad.

Mini Vyatka SM 2Maxim

This car (or rather the money to buy it) was given to us as a wedding gift. The car was purchased in August 2002. During operation, no serious problems were identified. The screw securing the drum pulley to its axis was unscrewed twice. As a result, the drum stopped spinning. I fixed the problem myself using a wrench by removing the back wall. The first time, apparently, it didn’t last, because a few months later it came loose again. I tightened it a second time with all my heart, and it won’t come off anymore. The main drawback, in my opinion, is the frankly lousy preparation of the metal surface of the body for painting. The enamel began to peel off after about three years. I had to tint it with pre-treatment with a rust converter. Now it’s working somewhere else. In general, the unit is simple and reliable. It works and washes very well. I don’t know how long it will work, but we will only replace it if there is a critical breakdown.

Vyatka Katyusha 522 PEvgeniy

The car was purchased in 2001 (in February, I think). During all this time there was only one problem, which can hardly be called a breakdown - last year the dirty water drain became clogged. I had to take it apart and clean it by hand. All this took about an hour and a half (including the time spent studying the drainage device itself). After that the car worked like new again! Now it’s the end of May 2022 and everything is still great! If they were still selling it in stores, I would definitely recommend it.

How are the icons deciphered in Bosch?

All pictures depicted on SMA models from the Bosch brand can be divided into three categories:

Icons about things. They specify what exactly is being washed - jeans, curtains, shoes, children's or sports items.
About the type of fabric. Indicate the material used to make the products - cotton, wool, silk, synthetics.
Programs and subroutines.
Special features.

Let's give descriptions of the pictures used by the German brand and take a closer look at their classification.

Basic icons

These include drawings that are used in all Bosch models:

Identification of the on/off button. It looks like a circle with a vertical line inside.
Wash. The picture is a basin half filled with water. There are many process options - manual, preliminary, delicate, express, economy.
Rinsing. Basin with water.
Spin. Twisted spiral. A choice of speeds is provided.

Items and types of fabrics

The mode is selected depending on the material of manufacture and purpose of the product:

A shirt hung on a hook is for synthetics. The duration of the program is determined by the drum load. Range - from half an hour to 1.5 hours. Water heating - up to 40 °C. Synthetic items washed in this mode are completely safe.
Floral dress and bodysuit. For cotton. Duration: 2 hours. Time varies depending on additional options selected. Maximum temperature: 90–95 °C.
Dress with a flower and trousers. Combined and quick wash. The duration is determined by the load on the drum and the model. So, Bosch classixx 5 machines wash in this mode for half an hour, and logixx 6 - 50 minutes. The maximum water heating in express mode is 50 °C.

Control panel icons

To make operating the washing machine convenient and efficient, the manufacturer places special icons on the panel. Each of them denotes some important function. Designers try to convey the meaning of options as clearly as possible with drawings.

For example, a butterfly is associated with lightness and tenderness. Therefore, it is easy to guess that this icon was chosen to indicate the delicate washing mode. It is usually not possible to place a full verbal description next to each button - the dashboard is too small for this. The icons are more compact.

At the same time, they carry a certain meaning without overloading the design and allowing the equipment to look attractive. Of course, it is not always possible to understand what is meant the first time. Therefore, each unit comes with detailed instructions explaining the rules for using the equipment and revealing the meaning of the symbols on the model body.

Many Bosch washing machines have a number of identical buttons and indicators. Among them:

Power button. Indicated by an icon in the shape of a circle containing a vertical line. Designed to turn the device on or off.
T-shirt design icon with stain. Intensive wash for heavily soiled laundry.
Key with the image of a pelvis with a vertical stripe. Prewash. Used to care for heavily soiled items; when activating the function, you need to add detergent not only to the main compartment of the cuvette, but also to the pre-wash compartment.
Iron icon – easy ironing function. When activated, the laundry crumples significantly less and is smoothed out much better.
A button with a symbol in the form of a basin of water with an up arrow. Water is a plus. Washing occurs with an increased amount of water, the duration of work increases, and several rinses are added. It is used when a large amount of powder is poured in, as well as when washing children's clothes or clothes of people suffering from allergic diseases. Helps completely remove detergent residue from laundry. The function is also relevant for regions with soft water.
Spiral icon. Spin adjustment button. Allows you to reduce or increase the spin depending on the type of fabric, or turn it off completely.
Key to start washing and set pause (an icon in the form of a diamond with a vertical stripe or, on other models, in the shape of a triangle and two stripes on the right).

Expensive Bosch max 4 washing machines are equipped with an electronic display. They are more informative: on the screen, in addition to temperature and spin, the maximum load of the selected mode is indicated, the time until its end is displayed, and error codes appear if the device malfunctions.

At the same time, they, like equipment without a screen, have special indicators that tell you at what stage of washing the equipment is. These include:

A basin with a cloud of steam on top. The main stage is washing.
A container filled with water. The machine is in the rinsing stage.
Spiral icon. The laundry is being spun.
A vertical stripe with an arrow pointing to it. The work is completed.

Washing machines with a display are more technologically advanced and have a number of additional functions. Among them:

A button with a picture of a clock and the inscription “Speed”. Speed Perfect function. Designed to reduce the cycle time when washing lightly soiled laundry.
A piece of paper with the letter E and the inscription “Eco”. Eco Perfect function. When choosing it, energy consumption is reduced, the water temperature is lowered, but due to the longer run time of the mode, the quality of washing remains high.
Dial with arrows. “End in” function or, in other words, delayed start. Allows you to delay the start of the program for up to 24 hours.

In addition to various buttons, each Bosch max 4 washing machine is equipped with a mode selector. These are washing programs for different types of laundry.

Bosch max 4 washing machines are equipped with the following washing programs:

An icon depicting a shirt hanging on a hanger. Synthetic fabrics. The duration of the mode is from 55 to 91 minutes at a temperature of 40°C.

Dress with flower and bodysuit . Mode for cotton and linen fabrics. Water temperature – from 40 to 90° at the user’s choice. The cycle time is from 80 to 135 minutes.

Dress with a flower and trousers (on some models – dress, shirt, bodysuit). Used for washing mixed fabrics at 40° – 60°C. Completion time – from 50 minutes.

Shirt with butterfly . Delicate linen made of silk or satin can be washed carefully at 30°C. The spin is performed at minimum speed. Duration – half an hour.

A skein of thread and a basin with a lowered hand . Hand wash wool. The regime is performed for 40 minutes at 30°C. The drum rotates very slowly, the amount of water is increased, and the spin speed is low.

Sliders . Program for children's things. To remove all bacteria and germs from them, the regime is performed for a long time and at high temperatures.

Jeans icon . Intended for washing denim fabrics for 40-80 minutes. Water temperature – 40° – 60°С.

Drawing of a shirt or blouse . Mode for washing appropriate items. Duration – from 40 to 80 minutes at a temperature of 40° to 60°C.

T-shirt icon with number . Wash sports items at 60°C for 80 minutes.

Winter jacket image . Program "Down Jackets". Designed for washing items with filling at 40°C and maximum spin. The program does not allow fluff or other contents of the jacket to form a solid lump.

Drawing of the month with stars . Night cycle. Designed for regions where the cost of water and electricity is lower at night than during the day. For this program, spinning and notification of the end of the mode are disabled. The user can enable these functions when he wakes up in the morning.

Pelvis with an arrow pointing down. Draining. The function is launched if things do not need to be wrung out or if the program needs to be stopped.

Mode with a dial image . Fast and energetic work within 60 minutes.

A dial half or a quarter full means a quick 30 or 15 minute wash. Modes are used to refresh laundry. A full wash is not possible with these programs.

Before you start using your Bosch washing machine, you need to study the special icons for all programs located on the control panel. Each model has basic buttons: on/off, wash, rinse, spin.

The Bosch MAX 4 model does not have a power button; instead, machine owners use a lever to switch programs. And the “start” button allows you to set the child lock - to do this you need to press it for 4 seconds.

Shirt on a hook - washing synthetics, lasts from 0.5 to 1.5 hours, water temperature - 40°C.
Flower dress and bodysuit – mode for cotton, with a duration of 2 hours and a maximum temperature of 95°C.
Dress with flower and trousers - quick wash.
Shirt with bow tie – for washing delicate fabrics: silk, satin. It is carried out at low temperature, with a light spin.
Pants – mode for washing denim fabrics.
A palm in a bowl of water and a skein of yarn is a mode for washing delicate items, including wool.
Romper - wash baby clothes at high temperature.
T-shirt – washing sportswear.

How to set the optimal mode?

Before setting up your washing machine, study the items you are about to wash. If you are not sure what kind of material it is and what tests it can be subjected to, study the label with conventional drawings. On the label, which is attached to literally every item, there is information about the composition of the fabric, as well as about the permissible temperature, the use of detergents, bleaches, etc. There are products for which automatic washing is contraindicated - it is recommended to wash them by hand.

In Bosch washing machines, icons are shown near the rotary switch - with one movement of the hand, the appropriate program is selected. You can limit yourself to this, or you can make adjustments to the selected program or add additional options, improving the quality of washing.

“Re-preservation” and installation of the machine

When the machine arrives from the store, let it sit for a couple of hours. The washing machine must accept the room temperature. You can then carefully remove the packaging from the device.

If possible, it is better to entrust the installation and connection of the washing machine to specialists.

If you are confident in your own abilities, you can connect the machine yourself. Check with the store to see if installing the washing machine yourself will affect the warranty. Sometimes in this case the right to free service “burns out”.

Once the machine has settled, you can begin installation. Be sure to remove the shipping bolts that secure the drum during transportation. If this is not done, the washing machine may fail upon first startup.

Information on the number and location of transportation bolts is given in the instructions. After removing the fasteners, insert plastic plugs into the resulting holes - they come with the washing machine.

What other rules should you follow when installing an automatic machine?

The washing machine should only be placed on a hard, level surface.
Be sure to level the device - the height of the case is adjusted using the legs.
Provide a gap of at least 2-2.5 centimeters between the side walls of the case and the furnishings. A gap of 5-6 cm should be left at the back of the machine.
The SMA hatch must open 180 degrees freely.

It is recommended to place a special rubber mat under the machine that absorbs vibrations. Then the washing machine will be even quieter. You can buy anti-vibration cloth at hardware stores.

Useful tips

The conventional images used in Bosch devices are in many ways similar to the images printed on clothing labels. This makes choosing the appropriate mode easier. Selection tips:

Be sure to study the label attached to the clothing - decipher the icons depicted on it.
Find out exactly what effect a particular option will have on a particular item before you install it.
Do not load white and colored items into the drum at the same time.
For expensive delicate items, it is better to choose hand washing.
Try to wash things in special bags. This applies, first of all, to shoes, linen and products with accessories.

Where is it collected?

The assembly of the car directly speaks about its quality. People tend to buy German-made cars, as they are much more durable. The approximate service life of German-assembled devices is from fourteen to sixteen years.

I work in the household appliance repair industry. Extensive experience in restoring washing machines and dishwashers.

Ask a Question

In many families, Bosch machines have been in service for more than twenty years, and these machines are still subject to repair and maintenance and wash clothes quickly and efficiently.

Machine assemblies are carried out in Western and Eastern Europe, CIS countries, Russia, China and, of course, in Germany. German-assembled SMAs have an undoubted advantage over their competitors. In total, the company has 15 factories around the world.
