First start of the washing machine after purchase

Bosch washing machines are designed in such a way that the user only needs to press one button to select the optimal washing mode.

Each program contains a set of settings that allows you to solve different problems.

How to choose the right program for a Bosch washing machine and improve the quality of washing will be discussed below.

What should you do first?

Before first use, remove packaging.
By the way, it is best to save it in case of subsequent return of the device during the warranty period. Sometimes for certain device models there is a requirement to provide them along with the packaging. Then the shipping bolts are removed (they secure the tank to ensure trouble-free transportation) and, in general, everything that is on the bottom side, for example, foam plastic, cardboard.

Removing the transport bolts

After this, install the device itself on the surface as stably as possible, after which the water supply and drain are connected. If the transport screws are not removed first, they will cause strong vibration during operation of the equipment, which will lead to damage to the component parts of the device.

When first started, there should be no laundry in the machine being tested. If you put laundry there, then there is a risk that it will end up with an unpleasant odor at the end of the wash, because the new unit may contain various technical odors and lubricants, such as machine oil.

Although this does not always happen, it is better to be on the safe side in advance. It is enough to use a powder or a special product. They will just remove all technical contaminants from the inside.

The device is plugged into a power outlet. First you need to run a short washing program. After finishing washing, you should wait a little. For safety reasons, the machine will not allow you to open the loading door immediately.

After waiting a minute or two, open the door again. If the sink is suddenly clogged, the door will not unlock and the water from the drain will not be able to go down the drain, but will remain in place. So before the first wash, you need to thoroughly clean the drain and sink.

Features of choosing detergents

There are certain recommendations for choosing synthetic detergents for the first wash cycle. Of course, you can also use regular powder, which is marked accordingly on the package. The presence of the inscription “automatic” will make it clear that the choice was made correctly. However, there are also specialized compounds aimed specifically at removing technical contaminants. They eliminate the smell of machine oil and other lubricants and thoroughly wash away fatty components from equipment parts.

Among the most well-known compositions is Helfer Start, suitable not only for the first start-up, but also for regular maintenance of the internal parts of the unit. The surfactants used in the product have an intense degreasing and cleaning effect and break down lime deposits that arise during equipment operation.

It is important to remember that the dosage of powder for the first wash should be significantly less than with a standard load of equipment. Most manufacturers recommend taking 10% of the usual SMS volume. It is worth adding that in this case the amount of powder set to remove heavy contaminants is used as a reference measure.

If you don’t want to carefully calculate the volume of SMS messages, you can use tablets. They are produced by the Oro company, there are 2 components in the package. The first tablet is Clean, designed to combat factory pollution. After 30 washing cycles, descaling is carried out with the second pill from the Calc package.

Distinctive features of Bosch washing machines are:

• long service life;
• ease of operation;
• water and electricity are used sparingly;
• large selection of washing modes;
• gentle washing of clothes made from delicate fabrics;
• unique additional features;
• wide hatch for loading laundry.

Drying woolen items

In order for your warm and soft clothes to be worn for a long time, maintaining their appearance and properties, it is important not only to know in what water you can wash them, but also how to dry woolen items.

Do not forget that even if you follow all the recommendations for manual or automatic cleaning, the item may become deformed if you do not apply the basic rules for drying delicate items:

• If you know how to properly hand wash woolen items and prefer this type of cleaning, do not wring out the item as hard as you can. Leave the clothes on the tray to drain. Press it lightly, but do not twist it as hard as you can (this will stretch and wrinkle it). Moisture must remain so that there are no wrinkles.
• Before drying a woolen item, regardless of which method you have previously chosen for washing, lay the item on a large towel and twirl the roller. There is no need to press or twist it.
• Clothes made from natural yarn should only be dried by laying them out on a horizontal surface. Otherwise, all efforts to preserve the shape of your favorite clothes during cleaning will be in vain. Find a flat area and place the product on it, after a while turn it over.
• After drying, shake the item slightly, this will make it softer and return to its shape faster.

Useful tips

If you want to reduce your electricity consumption, you need to follow these helpful tips.

• Do not machine wash items that are only suitable for hand washing. Information about this can be easily found on product labels;
• It is forbidden to overload the device more than intended (information about this must first be obtained from the instructions and followed).
• It is important to prevent metal parts from getting into the device - they can damage the drum and the clothes themselves.

During the first use, it is advisable to pour into the device a special product intended for the first machine washing of clothes. It is taken in small quantities, less than is usually required.

The product for the first launch is sold in specialized stores. For example, you can purchase Helfer Start. This composition is suitable for almost any model of newly purchased cars.

Finally, here are some tips on how to properly wash your clothes. It is necessary to wash white, black, and colored clothes separately. Then light things will not be painted in other colors.

You should take no more than 100 g of powder for each wash. It must be intended by the manufacturer specifically for automatic machines.

Before washing, do not forget to remove all small items from the pockets of your clothes. Between washes, it is better to leave the hatch of the device slightly open. As a result, moisture from the drum will evaporate freely. Otherwise, a bad odor and even mold may appear inside the device.

You should not overload the device or overfill the tank with laundry, so that the parts do not fail faster than expected. A special sensor, which is now often equipped with modern device models, will indicate if the tank is overloaded. The equipment is quite capable of breaking even if the tank is slightly underloaded. So it is important to pay primary attention to this when using technology.

If you follow all these rules, the washing machine will last quite a long time and will significantly save valuable time, which is usually spent by housewives on hand washing. The machine will allow you to wash clothes made from cotton and linen fabrics, various laundry, including delicates, and outerwear.

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:

1. The device can only be used at home for washing textiles. The machine must be connected to cold water;
2. Keep pets and small children away from the equipment;
3. Do not touch the glass of the machine door while it is in operation. The glass can be very hot.
4. Turn the machine on and off only with dry hands;
5. 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.
6. When connecting and installing the device, follow all rules. This will avoid electric shock, water leakage, fire and other accidents.

Installation of a Bosch washing machine

Before installing the Bosch washing machine, you must make sure that there are no defects on it. The surface on which it will be located must be hard, smooth and even, preferably tile or concrete, and not linoleum, laminate, carpet and others. To reduce vibration, you can use special mats.

Before installation, it is necessary to remove the transportation bolts from the rear wall of the machine and plug the holes. After placing the Bosch washing machine in place, remove the inlet and drain hoses from the mounts. Using a building level, level the washing machine (deviation of no more than 2 degrees is allowed).

Control panel and washing mode selection

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 Classixx 5 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.

The choice of mode depends on the type of fabric and the purpose of the item. Modern machines usually contain 12-16 modes in their program.

Washing modes can be indicated on the panel by the following icons:

• 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.

Some of the models, for example, Bosch maxx 5, have special functions. They are indicated by the following icons:

• T-shirt with black stain – mode for removing stubborn stains. Not intended for delicate items.
• Basin with a vertical stripe - soaking things.
• Iron - light ironing.
• A basin with water and an arrow pointing up - additional rinsing.

To choose the optimal mode, you should study the labels on the clothes; they will tell you which type of washing is best suited for a particular item. It is recommended not to mix light and colored laundry in one wash, and for expensive delicate items to use the appropriate mode.

When checking the operation of the device, you need to choose the right program. Modern machines are distinguished by a large number of possible modes, as well as the presence of a convenient program for quickly washing things.

When choosing the appropriate mode, you need to take into account temperature indicators. The wrong choice of temperature can ruin some or all of your items. It is important to note: all models have their own controls.

Thus, budget devices have a special small adjustment wheel designed to select the most suitable program. In expensive devices, setting the mode is possible using a convenient touch panel.

After preliminary preparation of the unit, you need to put the prepared clothes in the tank and pour the required amount of powder into the dispenser tray. Then you need to click the “Start” button located on the control panel. The device will start working.

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.

Starting the wash

A test “empty” first wash is needed for all automatic models, regardless of the manufacturer. In this case, the process occurs almost the same. The only difference concerns the startup procedure itself, because the operating mode activation system is configured differently.

In such a situation, the instructions will come to the rescue, in which this procedure is also described in detail, but adjusted for the individual characteristics of the purchased unit. It also contains step-by-step recommendations on how to turn on the washing machine.

Sequencing:

1. Close the door. There are models with frontal and vertical loading of laundry. The latter are most often produced by such well-known manufacturers as Bosch, Candy, Indesit, Samsung and Zanussi. And if with horizontal loading it is enough to close the door until it clicks, then with the top one they first “fasten” the drum, and then slam the hatch itself.
2. Add powder intended for automatic washing. You cannot use another one, since manual cleaning products are characterized by excessive foaming and can lead to damage to the unit.
3. The washing machine will not start for the first time without being connected to the power supply. Just plug the plug into the socket.
4. You must select the shortest program. Usually the process in this mode takes no more than 20-30 minutes.
5. After the machine is finished operating, the loading hatch cover must be kept slightly open at all times for ventilation.

After turning on the Bosch washing machine, you need to load laundry into it and carefully close the door, then select the desired program using the selector. If necessary, it can be adjusted by decreasing or increasing the spin speed, adjusting the water temperature, etc.

It is prohibited to use hand washing products in a Bosch washing machine; they are characterized by increased foaming, which can lead to equipment breakdown. It is also necessary to use each of the powder compartments for its intended purpose. In the Bosch maxx 4 model there are three of them: the left one is for washing powder and bleach, the right one is used for soaking, and the middle one needs to be filled with fabric softener.

To start washing, you need to press the “start” button. If the wrong mode is used, it can be changed right in the process by pressing the “start” button and switching the lever to the desired position. After starting, the machine will switch to the required program.

Caring for the machine

With regular use, the outside of the unit body and the inside of the centrifuge should be cleaned. It is not necessary to wipe the latter dry; just opening the door is enough for the drum to dry. In this case, do not use aggressive chlorine-based products.

In addition to moisture, small debris, threads and other contaminants accumulate under the rubber seal, which also need to be gotten rid of. Otherwise, mold may appear.

We must not forget about the drain filter, in which debris usually accumulates. Fallen buttons, buttons, a bus ticket forgotten in your pocket, and other little things will be found in this department.

It is wrong to choose a detergent based only on the type of clothes. Water hardness should be taken into account. If you ignore this factor, you will have to frequently change the heating element, which will fail due to scale. If you don’t want to spend money on an expensive cleaning product, there are special substances that are added to a simple powder to care for the heating element.

Installation of a new washing machine, carried out in accordance with all the rules, will repay the efforts expended on it in the future with the stable performance of the unit. If you treat smart technology with care, it will serve its owner for a long time.

In order for your equipment to last as long as possible, you must remember to regularly care for it. In particular, it is necessary to clean the valve more often.

To prevent scale from appearing on the heating element, it is recommended to use special filters designed to soften water, or products that can prevent the appearance of scale.

Diagnosis of machine breakdowns

Bosch equipment is highly reliable; breakdowns rarely occur with it. To indicate malfunctions, codes displayed on the machine display are used.

The most common complaints from owners are about the following problems:

• The water does not drain out after washing;
• the drum does not rotate;
• the water does not heat up;
• The car engine does not start;
• Water does not collect at the beginning of the wash.

The reason for the lack of drainage may be a breakdown of the drain pump or its clogging. The water supply is usually disrupted due to a malfunction of the inlet hose or a clogged pump. These problems can be avoided if, when connecting the machine, you install good water filters that will prevent blockages, scale and rust.

Problems with the drum occur due to a malfunction of the engine, electronic failures or wear on the drive belt. If the drum makes a loud noise, the bearings or shock absorbers may be broken, or there may be foreign objects in the drum.

To determine the cause of the breakdown and eliminate the problems, it is best to contact a specialist.

Preliminary procedures

Before making the first launch, you need to carry out a complete installation of the equipment. Always perform a readiness check before switching on for the first time. It doesn't take much time. However, it will protect the user from surprises that may well appear when you miss something in a hurry.

– Read the operating instructions carefully. Especially the section for controlling washing modes. If the user operates incorrectly, this may negatively affect the performance of the electronic unit of the device.

– Whatever unit you have, be sure to remove the shipping bolts. Typically, manufacturers use four bolts. Their purpose is to secure the washing machine drum upon delivery. Once you remove the bolts, there will be holes left. In order to close them, special plugs are used. The equipment is always equipped with them.

– The machine must be in a stable position. Otherwise, you will have problems during the spin cycle. Find an installation location where the floor is firm and level.

– Before starting, always determine the hardness of the tap water. Such an analysis will allow you to make the optimal selection of powder and its quantity.

– We check the quality of the machine’s connection to the networks: electrical, water supply and sewer. We check the connection of the machine hoses: rubber, which supplies water (bulk), and corrugated, which is intended for draining into the sewer (drain). The corrugated hose must be secured so that even when water is actively draining from the washing machine, it cannot fall out. After all, then the flood cannot be avoided.

– We check the tap that leads to the inlet hose. It must be open.

– Check to see if there are any remaining adhesive tape on the front, back and side walls of the machine. After all, they usually fix details.

– Open and inspect the drum of the washing machine. There should be no debris or any parts in it.

IMPORTANT! Before starting the washing machine for the first time, you must carry out all these steps. They are required.

In order for the first start of the washing machine to take place, you need to properly prepare the unit. Regardless of the model and brand, the preliminary stage proceeds in the same way for all types of such equipment. Before you start washing in a new machine without laundry, you need to make sure that the equipment is ready for it.

Checking the readiness of equipment is an important step that cannot be neglected. It includes several steps.

• Carefully study the instructions. Although the general rules are always the same, some manufacturers provide additional recommendations for running the machine in self-cleaning mode. It is better not to neglect these tips and follow the instructions exactly when choosing the type of washing for the first time.
• Checking the reliability of the hoses. They should be tightly clamped with clamps and well fixed. A hose that comes off during equipment operation can create conditions for a local utility accident. Poor fastening is especially dangerous in a situation where the machine vibrates strongly during operation.
• Installation of plugs. They are included in the delivery set and are installed in place of the transport bolts. Such compensating elements allow you to avoid deformation of technological holes during operation of the equipment. It is important to make sure that all fasteners are removed - depending on the model, the washing machine may have 4 or 6 transport bolts.
• Opening the valve that shuts off the water. It is located on the inlet hose. After using the machine, the water supply is always shut off.
• Check the case for traces of adhesive tape and other packaging parts. If they are found, it is necessary to remove the excess fasteners holding the parts. They can disrupt the normal operation of the washing machine.
• Studying the inner space of the drum. Solid objects, loose fasteners that fly off during transportation can get into it. If such foreign inclusions are found, they must be removed.

Error codes

It’s good when the washing machine works for many years without failure. But technology is technology; not a single device is insured against breakdowns. How can you understand what exactly happened to your assistant? In this case, the manufacturer has provided a system of error codes.

So, E00 means that the car is in test mode (this is not considered an error), E02 - problems with the electric motor (sometimes it helps to unplug it for 20 minutes), E3 - problems with the hatch lock, F04 - a leak is detected, E5 - slow filling , E6 - during filling, the machine receives an “empty tank” signal (the filter may be clogged, the Aquastop system has worked, the water level sensor has broken, or there has been a failure in the control module).

Article on the topic: How to remove the smell of kerosene from a washing machine

Error E13 appears when draining takes too long (probably the drain hose filter is clogged or the pump is broken), F16/F34/F61 - when the hatch door is not blocked (this can happen either due to clothes getting caught in the gap or due to lock malfunction), F17/E17 - when the water supply time is exceeded, F23/E23 - when the Aquastop system is activated, F18/E18 - when the machine does not drain the water (the drain hose may be connected incorrectly).

The appearance of error F21/F43 indicates that the drum for some reason cannot begin to rotate, F29 - that water is not filling and, accordingly, does not pass through the sensor, E32 - that an imbalance has occurred during the distribution of laundry, E58 - that there is a phase current engine exceeds the threshold value, F63 - that the functional protection has tripped.

Also, a similar system is available for cars that do not have a display. There, errors are indicated by specific blinking indicators. So, for example, the light bulb above the “1” button corresponds to error code D01 and indicates an error in the water level sensor, and if all three indicators above the “1”, “2” and “3” buttons are lit, then this is code D07, which means that the hatch lock has failed.

Some malfunctions can be fixed on your own - usually such cases are described in the instructions with specific instructions on exactly how you should proceed (sometimes it is enough to simply restart the machine - unplug it and turn it on after a while). Others require the mandatory intervention of a qualified craftsman. In any case, when contacting the service center, state the error code, and a specialist will tell you how best to proceed.

Step-by-step instruction

Starting your washing machine correctly for the first time is quite easy. It is only important to follow certain step-by-step instructions to ensure safe preparation of the equipment for full operation.

• The electrical appliance installed on site is connected to the network. The corresponding indication should appear on the dashboard. Sometimes it occurs with a slight delay - this needs to be taken into account.
• The loading hatch of the device closes tightly. There should be a characteristic click, indicating that the lock has been activated.
• The detergent compartment on the front panel extends. The starting composition or the usual SMS for automatic machines is poured into the powder compartment. It is important to follow the dosing recommendations and not confuse the compartments. The filled tray slides into the body of the washing unit.
• If there is an auto-cleaning function in the machine, press the corresponding button (the number of times is indicated in the instructions). If it is not there, the first wash is performed in the “Cotton” mode at a temperature of 60 degrees. It starts, water should fill into the drum. The average duration of a test wash is about 70 minutes.
• Check the operation of the equipment. The engine should operate evenly, without sharp squealing, extraneous grinding, or knocking. Vibration may be a result of improper positioning of the washing machine. If it appears, it is recommended to pay attention to how level its body is installed and whether it is in contact with the wall or pieces of furniture.
• At the end of the wash cycle, wait until the water is completely drained and the hatch is unlocked. This may take time - usually no more than 2-3 minutes.
• Inspect all parts and connections. Particular attention is paid to the tympanic compartment and the condition of the legs. You need to carefully examine the floor for leaks. Check the tightness of the hoses to the surface of the pipes.
• Open the door and leave it in this position for 2-4 hours so that excess moisture evaporates. If you close the hatch earlier, mold and an unpleasant odor may appear inside the housing.

Additional functions

Most modern models of automatic machines contain a large set of additional functions that help solve all problems and satisfy the various requirements of housewives.

Delay mode

A convenient way to turn on the washing machine before going to work and take out the finished clothes when you come home in the evening. At the same time, they will not wait for the owner in the drum for several hours, already washed (crumpled and compressed).

It is important to load the detergent completely and set the clock to a delay start mode.

You need to read the instructions for the washing machine. First we set the current time and then program it for the desired turn-on time.

Video on how to delay automatic washing

Night

When using the night mode, the sound signal is turned off, as well as the spin cycle, which is noisy and can wake up household members and neighbors.

Water level control

When monitoring the required amount of water, the machine itself decides how much liquid to pour into the drum based on the weight and volume of the load in order to better wash and rinse things.

Spin balancing

The mode ensures uniform distribution of laundry during spinning and, if necessary, slows down the rotation of the drum by adjusting the speed. A very convenient tool for heavy loads, it prevents excessive vibration and movement of the device from its place.

Water clarity control

This mode is convenient to use for children's clothing and if household members are allergic to detergents. The machine determines whether the items have been rinsed sufficiently or whether the water is not clear enough and contains soap. If necessary, perform additional rinsing.

Spin

The function allows you to simply spin out wet items by selecting the spin force (rpm). You can quickly spin out hand-washed items, as well as those that did not leave the machine dry enough.

Drain

This function allows for simple (without additional operations) removal of water from the drum. For example, when a program crashes and things are retrieved.

Rinse and drain

A convenient way to simply rinse things and drain the water. Can be used if bad powder remains on the laundry after washing and rinsing.

Disabling spin

It is necessary to turn off the spin cycle when washing many items. For example, it is recommended not to wring linen items to avoid severe creasing, which makes ironing difficult. The machine simply washes, rinses and drains the water.

Extra rinse

The function allows you to rinse things more efficiently by adding water again and performing a full rinse cycle.

Easy ironing

Things wrinkle in the drum, mainly when spinning at high speeds. This mode (anti-crease protection) makes the push-up less aggressive and reduces the drum rotation speed. The laundry wrinkles less, but is less dry. You will have to dry it yourself, but it will be easier to iron.

Foam control

Excess foam does not affect the quality of washing, but simply clogs things with excess detergents. In this mode, excess foam formed during spinning and deposited on things is removed from the drum using a special pump.

Troubleshooting

A convenient feature that allows the washing module to identify its own problems. The operation of various parts of the device is tested and a fault code is displayed. The instructions usually indicate what problem the code corresponds to and how to fix it.
