Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine: characteristics and repair instructions

The Bosch brand has already produced many home appliances that are known for their reliability and functionality. Washing machines of this brand are incredibly popular in the household appliances market.

At the same time, the consumer has a large choice, because the manufacturer develops various models of devices, improving them every year. The new generation Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine is one of the most popular models. Let's find out its characteristics and operating instructions.

Washing modes

The very first thing any housewife pays attention to when choosing a washing machine is the programs for each type of fabric. After all, the things you wash should not only be cleaned as a result of washing, but also retain their shape and color.

On the labels, most often, you will only find instructions on the mode or temperature required for washing. But the Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine already has 11 default programmed modes, each of which is clearly described in the instructions. All you need to do is determine the type of fabric (using the same label), put the items within the weight limit in the machine and select the washing mode.

Below we will briefly describe the features of each program.:

• "Cotton" . This option is used when washing natural durable fabrics that do not deform as a result of exposure to high temperatures (up to 90°). Often these are towels, diapers, kitchen napkins, pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets, less often sweaters, shirts, trousers. When you are not sure whether your item can be washed in this mode, look at the label. If it lists other materials besides cotton, then choose a different mode or you can adjust this one. So, instead of a temperature of 90°, set it to 40°, having previously treated problem areas with a stain remover. When choosing this program, expect a long wash time. The maximum permissible weight of items that can be washed at one time is 5 kg.
• "Synthetics" . If you plan to wash clothes that are made entirely or partially from non-natural fibers, select this option. For such things you should not set the temperature to high. For high-quality cleaning, 30° degrees will be enough. If necessary, you can set a higher temperature for the main wash of 40 degrees. But you can squeeze out such things using the maximum number of revolutions. Remember, if clothes containing synthetic fibers are washed at high temperatures, you are unlikely to be able to wear them again. Do not place more than 2.5 kg of clothing in the drum.
• "Mixed laundry" . The new generation Bosch Max 5 washing machine is designed for very economical and convenient washing. You don’t have to wait until you have the amount of synthetic and cotton underwear needed for washing, and then spend half a day doing 2 washes. Wash what is already in the basket together by selecting this program. This will allow you to save on water and electricity, and also take less time. If you choose this mode, do not put more than 2 kg in the drum.
• "Jeans" . The name of the program itself already indicates the type of fabric for which it is intended. For many people, denim items are the most popular, which means the corresponding option in the washing machine is quite appropriate. Do not forget that the maximum permissible weight of items that can be washed at a time is 2 kg.
• "Delicate underwear" . Those things that you previously carefully washed only by hand can now be safely sent to automatic washing. You can put scarves, blouses or underwear made from expensive and delicate fabrics into the machine and select this program. The washing process is carried out at an acceptable temperature (30°), and for spinning thin materials no more than 600 revolutions are needed. If you use this option, do not put more than 2 kg in the drum.
• "Wool" . Lovers of soft and warm clothes know how tender they are. Therefore, the Maxx 5 model of the Bosch washing machine has a special option for natural items. Even if your sweater is only half wool, use this program. After cleaning, the item does not become deformed. During operation, the device stops several times for a long time so that the clothes lie in a solution of water and a cleaning agent. At the default temperature of 20°, not a single thing will go bad. Do not place more than 2 kg of wool in the drum.
• "Super fast 30/15" . When you just want to “refresh” things, then this option is exactly what you need. The device washes, rinses and spins clothes in just half an hour. When setting up this program, remember that it is not advisable to load more than 1 kg of things. And if you select the additional SpeedPerfect option, the entire process will be halved in time. This program does not provide for high water temperatures, since it takes more time for the heater to work.
• "Night program" . To save your time as much as possible, turn on the device at night, and in the morning simply spin it out (selecting a separate option) and hang things out to dry. The peculiarity of the program is that the device operates as quietly as possible and does not signal the end of the washing process. If you choose this mode, then do not put more than 2 kg of things in the drum.
• Separately, you can set the “Rinse” mode . Of course, each program described above rinses things by default. But some clothes (for example, children's) need to be rinsed additionally so that the smell of detergent does not remain on them. This is also true when hand washing or soaking. Place the already cleaned item in the device, because it will cope with rinsing better, using less water.
• “Spin” can also be used separately when it comes to previously washed items. Any of the above types of washing can be accelerated when you set the program, press the SpeedPerfect button. The exception is the “Wool” mode, since in order to fully clean and preserve things, the machine must stop several times.

Bosch Maxx 5 manual

Let's look at an abbreviated version of the operating instructions for the Bosch maxx 5 washing machine, which will contain only basic information.

Correct installation of the machine

Bosch Maxx 5 washing appliances should be installed on a reinforced surface. It is worth noting that during the washing process the machine may move due to strong vibration. That is why the washing machine should be installed level. It’s even better to fix the body by additionally securing the legs.

It is important to note that washing equipment is heavy. Therefore, you need to be very careful when moving it from one place to another.

After unpacking the machine, you need to check the condition of the case. If damage is found, the equipment must be returned to the store. You don't even need to connect it to the mains.

If the body of the machine has no defects, then it can be installed. However, it is necessary to first prepare the place where the washing equipment will be located.

To do this you need to do the following:

Strengthen the floor. It is not at all necessary to make the floor perfectly level, because at the base of the washing machine there are twist-out legs with which you can adjust its position.

Organize the removal of sewerage and water pipes. You also need to install a moisture-resistant outlet for the washing machine.

Check the space in which the washing machine will be placed. The gap between objects located nearby should be at least 1 centimeter.

The fifth Bosch Maxx model contains special transport bolts on the rear wall. They secure the drum during transportation. They should be unscrewed before using the machine. These bolts need to be collected, but not thrown away. They may be needed in the future.

Then you need to plug the holes for the bolts. It is also necessary to remove the drain and fill hoses from the fixing fasteners. But this is done after moving the washing machine to the installation site.

Then you need to place a building level on the lid of the washer, and then unscrew its legs one by one until the machine is level. The deviation should not exceed 2 degrees.

Connect the drain hose to the sewer. It needs to be bent in such a way that water remains in the knee. Then no foreign odors from the sewer pipe will enter the machine. The best connection height is 60 centimeters.

Connect the inlet hose to the water pipe. This is done through a tee tap. The connections must be insulated with foam. The tee valve outlets must have a standard diameter (3⁄4 inches). Before screwing on the inlet hose, you must check that all rubber seals are present.

Do not connect washing equipment to a water supply with low water pressure. Checking the pressure is very simple. You need to open the tap and then count the number of liters of water that will flow out of the water supply in one minute. Must be at least 8 liters.

At the final stage, you need to plug in the washing machine. But first you need to check that the outlet is working properly. If you have doubts at this stage, it is better to contact an electrician. It is important that the outlet is grounded. It must also cope with the maximum load that the Bosch machine can create.

Positive characteristics include a high washing class (A), as well as spin class D. In the process of spinning washed items, the Bosch WAA 16171 washing machine is capable of performing 800 revolutions per minute. This is her maximum. After such a spin, the items are still quite damp, so they will need additional time to dry.

The diameter of the hatch where things are directly loaded is 30 centimeters. This is undoubtedly an advantage, since such a large hole radius allows you to insert/remove things without any difficulty. It will not be possible to place the Bosch WAA 16171 model in a narrow space.

This is due to the fact that things are loaded frontally, and not vertically. However, the presence of a smooth, even top surface can be used, for example, to store laundry detergents.

It is important to note that during operation the machine consumes a minimal amount of electrical energy. But it can consume about 50 liters of water. This model is perfect for those people who do not chase all the trends in the development of modern technology, or if it is not yet possible to purchase a more expensive model.

Bosch washing machine icons

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.

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.

Dress and bow tie. For thin fabrics. Suitable for wool and silk. Things are washed at 30 degrees, no more.

A hand lowered into a basin and a skein of wool. For washing delicate fabrics, especially wool.

Jeans. For denim. Duration - 40 min. In SMA classixx 5 - an hour and a half.

Shirt. For shirts and blouses. Wash at 40–60 degrees.

T-shirt. For sportswear. Temperature - 40 degrees.

Sliders. For children's things. The process takes place at high temperatures.

Special Features

Special functions are typical for one or another model of a washing machine manufactured by Bosch. These unique settings allow you not only to efficiently clean clothes from difficult to remove stains, but also to make this process faster. These functions are also designated quite simply and clearly. Washing machines like maxx 5, classixx, logixx have characteristic special functions:

• Very dirty things. A particularly intensive type of cleaning is used, which can remove even the most complex stains from the surface of clothing.
• Prewash. Before the main cleaning, items are pre-washed. This function helps to clean very soiled clothes more effectively.
• Easy ironing. By choosing this program, you will prevent the formation of difficult-to-iron wrinkles on your clothes. This becomes possible due to the fact that the washing machine drum rotates at lower speeds, after which the process of ironing washed items will be more enjoyable.
• Additional rinse. This program runs a second rinse after the main rinse to more effectively remove detergent residue from the fabric.

There is no doubt that the above features are useful. Thanks to them, you can not only determine the washing process, but also reduce the amount of water and electricity consumption.

Where should I put the laundry detergent?

As a rule, washing machines in the Bosch Maxx 5 line are equipped with universal powder receptacles. The only thing you need to remember is what each of the three compartments is needed for:

1. The first one is quite easy to find by the indicated Roman numeral “I” or the letter “A”. Visually you can see that it is the largest in size. Most of the powder or washing gel is poured into it. It is important to note that its use is for pre-soak or pre-soak purposes only. Therefore, most consumers use it extremely rarely.
2. The second compartment is usually indicated in blue or with an icon in the shape of a flower or star. It is intended for liquid rinse aid. The product is only removed during the rinsing process. Not all washing modes of the Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine are programmed to take in air conditioner during the second washing stage. Therefore, if after executing the program the product remains in the compartment, this does not always indicate that the program was not executed correctly. For example, in the “Down Jackets” mode, rinse aid is not used.
3. The third compartment is considered the main one. It contains powder or liquid gel for all washing modes. You can also add a stain remover here.

Starting the wash

The Bosch Max washing machine requires preliminary preparation for use. During the very first wash, you should not load laundry into the drum, but you need to start it.

Let's look at a brief instruction with information on how to do it yourself:

• First of all. you should carefully study the instructions and familiarize yourself with all the programs that your household washing appliance has, reading the information about each function; in this case, we are interested in the cotton mode;
• Then you need to check the connection of all communications to the water supply and electrical power;
• After this, the hatch cover must be pressed with your hands so that a characteristic click is heard, meaning that it is tightly and hermetically closed;
• You need to add a small amount of a special detergent for the first wash or simple washing powder to the powder receptacle;
• Now you need to find the same cotton mode on the control panel and click on it, selecting a rinsing temperature of 60 degrees;
• When carrying out this process, you must be nearby and carefully observe the operation of the machine;
• If any extraneous sounds appear, you should immediately stop the washing mode by pressing the stop button on the control panel, as there may be some kind of malfunction in the machine;
• If you notice strong vibration, shaking, or the washing machine completely moves from its place, then most likely it was initially installed incorrectly;
• You need to inspect the machine after the program has finished working in cotton mode and check all places for moisture;
• If even a small amount of water is detected, then it is necessary to find the cause of the leak and check the manhole cover and all water lines connected to the machine for leaks.

Installation and first launch instructions for users

Before use, any washing machine must be properly secured. It is also important to decide on the location. It may even need to be prepared in advance. So, if the surface in the bathroom or kitchen where you plan to install Bosch Max 5 is uneven, then start preparing it (small repairs may be required).

This is important, because if the unit stands on a slope, its spare parts will quickly become unusable. Moreover, during operation the device vibrates a little, and on a crooked area it can even move noticeably, which will also speed up the breakdown.

So, before installation:

• As mentioned above, take care of the area where the device will stand. If the situation is not critical and the floor is generally level, but the level shows a slight deviation, then you can adjust the legs on the washing machine itself.
• Pre-prepare the water supply and drainage system in the bathroom, kitchen or other room, and also install a special outlet for rooms with high humidity.
• Calculate the size of the niche for the device so that after installation there is free space on all sides (at least 1 cm).

Here is a small instruction - a diagram of actions after the device is purchased by you and delivered:

1. Carefully remove the container.
2. Make sure the body is intact. If there are visible flaws and, in connection with this, you plan to issue a return/exchange, you should not even plug the device into the outlet. Once you have verified the integrity, proceed with the installation.
3. There are special latches attached to the back of the device for movement. They are needed to ensure that the drum does not accidentally move during transportation. They must be removed before use. You can do this using the instructions in the manual for the Bosch Maxx 5 washing machine. Do not get rid of them completely; bolts may be needed.
4. Pipes for water intake and drainage are also initially fixed. It is not difficult to remove them, but this must be done after placing the machine in its place, immediately before connecting it.
5. In order to place the Bosch Maxx 5 SpeedPerfect without a slope, place a building level on top and adjust the supports until the indicator shows that the device is level.
6. When connecting the drain hose directly to the drainage pipe, remember an important point. The machine sleeve must be raised above the level of the pipe so that water remains in it after each wash. It is needed to prevent unpleasant odors from entering the device.
7. Next, ensure the flow of water. To do this you will need a tee tap. This part is screwed to the hole in the water supply pipe. Then connect the faucet and the device sleeve, filling the space between all joints with special rubber bands for sealing.
8. Only after all the manipulations described above, plug the device into a power outlet. Make sure the fork is completely dry first.

Remember, one of the important rules is that the pressure with which water enters your home must be normal (not low). To check whether it is strong enough for the machine to work properly, open the tap and fill the bucket with water for a minute. If during this time about 8 liters have accumulated, then the pressure is good.

Advantages and disadvantages

If you have little time to analyze the information and make a choice in favor of a specific model, we suggest you review the main advantages and disadvantages of the Bosch Maxx 5 series washing machine, which are not mentioned in bold in the operating instructions.

Let's start with the good properties:

1. The device received the maximum rating from experts in terms of performance. It is generally accepted that automatic washing devices of category “A” clean things well from dirt and preserve the color and shape of fabrics;
2. Thanks to a variety of programs that can be adjusted and supplemented, it is suitable for cleaning almost all things;
3. Convenience and ease of operation;
4. A special feature of the Bosch Maxx 5 SpeedPerfect series is the ability to speed up any wash with the press of one button;
5. Beautiful design;
6. Possibility to select silent mode.

Separately, we can note the fact that the Bosch Max 5 generation washing machine has the most understandable operating instructions. Compared to manuals issued for equipment earlier, everything in it is written in easy-to-understand language.

There are also some nuances:

• The unit can hardly be called compact by modern standards;
• With a maximum allowable laundry weight of 5 kg, most items can still be washed in quantities not exceeding 2 kg.

dimensions

Like most devices with horizontal loading, the Bosch Max 5 series machine takes up a significant area in the bathroom of a small apartment, especially since the instructions require a distance from the walls (at least a centimeter).

The dimensions of the device can be called standard:

1. Height 85 cm;
2. Depth 40 cm;
3. Width 60 cm.

However, compared to the previous generation of laundry appliances from the leading German manufacturer Bosch, the Maxx 5 model is more sophisticated and spacious.
