Features and Benefits of Your New Washer

ActiveClean TMTechnology

Bosch ActiveClean ® technology optimizes the wash pro-

cess at every stage of the cycle by sensing load size, water

level and temperature needs for superior results. Digital

sensors care for all fabrics including wool, mohair and silk.

This machine virtually operates at the touch of a button.

EcoSmart TM Technology

EcoSmart TMTechnology utilizes a network of sensors inthe

Bosch Vision washer for cycles that conserve the most

energy possible while maintaining superior washing

performance. By adjusting to the size of the load and

regulating temperature to never overheat, it is no wonder

that Bosch is the most efficient brand on the market.

EcoAction ®

This option gives you the ability to reduce energy usage by

up to 20%. By selecting this option the temperature is

reduced to save resources while the wash time is slightly

extended to ensure proper washing.

ActiveWaterTM Wash System

Only Bosch Vision washers featuring the ActiveWater TM

wash system can consume as little as 13 gallons of water

but wash with the power of 400 gallons! By adding water

faster and constantly raining water back down on the

clothes, Bosch Vision gets the most out of every drop of

water.

Stain Removal

This unique option begins each cycle with a cold water fill

and heats to all the most important water temperatures to

remove stains. Since each type of stain is removed at a

different specific temperature, only Bosch Vision with the

Stain Removal option can address the widest variety of

stains and remove them all in just one load.

Exclusive Hinge and Gasket System

A reinforced hinge and our unique gasket design help seal

in the heat, allowing your laundry to reach the optimum

temperature, which eliminates even the toughest stains.

3-Part Detergent Jet Dispenser

A 3-part dispenser automatically distributes detergent,

bleach and softener at exactly the right times.

XxtraSamtary ® Cycle

With this innovative cycle, a thermostat controlled

intelligent system heats up the water to 170° F.The clothes

are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized while killing 99.99% of

most common household bacteria.

Baby CareTM Cycle

The littlest people in the house usually account for the

toughest stains. This cycle heats the wash water up to

155° Fto remove even the most stubborn stains with ease.

Bosch Exclusive Paddles

As your wash gently tumbles, the paddles cascade water

from high above, rinsing away suds and giving your laundry

a complete, even clean. Our stainless steel drum optimizes

performance to ensure not a single shirt goes unturned.

Stainless Steel Drum

The Vision TMwasher drum has hundreds of smooth double

punched holes, which allow your garments to gently tumble

completely snag free.

Internal Water Heater

An internal heating element heats the water to up to 180° F

while a digital temperature sensor continually monitors the

water temperature. Bosch Vision TMwashers deliver the

most efficient and accurate water heating method for each

selected fabric type.

Quiet Performance

Bosch washers use suspended brushless motors, isolated

pump systems and special sound-deadening material to

keep them exceptionally quiet while in operation. This

means they can be installed virtually anywhere in the home

without causing a disturbance. Bosch's special unbalance

control software eliminates noisy unbalance conditions.

AVS TM Anti-Vibration System

The AVS TMAnti-Vibration System reduces vibration even

during high spins for near silent, smooth operation. So even

ifthe Vision washer is installed on a second story you may

never know its there.

AquaStop TtM

AquaStop TI_4 is an internal containment safety system

designed to protect against flood-type leakage to decrease

the chance of water damage when the washer isturned on

and operating.

AquaStop TM Hose

The AquaStop TMHose stops water flow in the event the

AquaStop TMHose experiences flood-type leakage.

Installation area

Never ground the washer to plastic

plumbing lines, gas lines or hot

water pipes.

This appliance must be installed on

a solid floor and well leveled due to

the higher spin speeds available. If

installing the machine on a wood

floor over a basement or on a

second floor, the floor may need to

be reinforced. Sound, vibration, and

risk of the washer "walking" will be

influenced by the structure and

stability of the floor surface where

the appliance is installed.

Soft floor surfaces, such as

carpets or surfaces with foam

backing, are not suitable. If

possible, place the washing

machine in a corner of the room.

If the washing machine is to be installed

on a weak wood floor, consider the

following:

Screw a section of water resistant

plywood (at least 3/4" thick) to the

floor. The plywood _hould be

sized to fit the footprint of the

washer, approximately 27" wide x

29.7" deep, or 54" wide x 29.7"

deep to extend underneath both

the washer and the dryer for best

results and even height of the

appliances.

Secure the feet of the washing

machine with holding brackets.

Order the holding brackets (set)

from Bosch Customer Service

(WMZ 2200).

Minimum Distances

Important information concerning

minimum distances:

If the washer is to be installed with

a dryer so that the fronts of the

appliances are to be flush with one

another it is necessary to allow

additional rear clearance for the

dryer venting system. Depending

on the location of the exhaust air

connection, a minimum distance

of 5 1Ainch (13.4 cm) must be

provided for ducts/brackets (see

dryer installation instructions).

Benefits of maintaining greater

distance (clearances) than the

minimum shown include:

• reduction of the risk of mold

formation behind the appliances.

• reduced noise transmission

• facilitation of installation and

service.

• more air cools the dryer, keeps

the dryer from overheating, and

improves drying performance.

If the washer and dryer are to be

installed in a small room, the doors

of the room must be fitted with

vents of a specified minimum size.

Refer to the following illustrations

of enclosed installations for

additional information.

Allow additional clearance for

door, wall and window molding

where necessary.

Installation Types

Observe the following minimum

clearances between the washer and

adjacent surfaces for all installation

types.

assemblies (each assembly

consists of a bolt, a metal flat

washer and a white plastic

bushing).

If the bushings do not come out

when removing the bolt

assemblies, place the bolts back

into the bushings and carefully try

again. It is important to do this

with the bolts, otherwise the

bushings will not come out

properly.

To store the bolt assemblies for

future use, do not remove the bolts

from the plastic bushings.

Position the plastic cover over the

hole the transportation bolt

assemblies occupied. Push the

tab in (A) and slide the cover

towards the small slot (B).

Storing the transport bolt

assemblies

Always keep the transport bolt

assemblies for future transportation of

the appliance (such as when moving ).

Store the transport bolt assemblies

with the washer and bushing

attached.

Do not remove the bolt and

washer from the bushing.

Water connection

Water supply

The washing machine must only be

operated with hot (max. 140 °F/ 60

°C)and cold tap water. Do not

connect the appliance to the mixer

tap of an unpressurized hot-water

boiler.

If in doubt, have the water connection

installed by an authorized technician.

The water supply hoses must not be:

Kinked, bent or flattened in such a

way as to potentially diminish

water flow.

Modified or cut (integrity can

no longer be guaranteed).

Periodic inspection and

replacement of damaged or

kinked hoses is recommended.

Replacement of the water supply

hoses after five years of use may

help reduce the risk of hose failure.

Properly secured EXTERNAL hose

connections are the sole

responsibility of the customer. The

manufacturer assumes no

responsibility or liability for

improperly installed EXTERNAL

hoses or other connections.

Observe the water pressure in the

supply network:

The water pressure should be

between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.38

and 8.27 bar) when the faucet

is turned on and at least 2.2 U. S.

gallons (8 liters) of water should be

discharged per minute.

A pressure regulator valve must be

installed ifthe maximum water

pressure is exceeded.

To prevent water damage, the hot

and cold water valves should be

accessible when the washing

machine is in place and should

always be turned off when the

washing machine is not in use.

If installing the washing machine in a

new building or a building in which

the plumbing system was recently

installed or upgraded, flush the lines

before installing the washing

machine to remove any sand, dirt or

residue.

Supply Line Connection

C Cold water connection

H Hot water connection

(max. 140 °F / 60 °C)

Do not remove the strainers

from the water supply hoses.

Check to be sure the rubber

washer/strainer is in the

Aquastop TMhose prior to attaching

the hose to the faucet. It is not

necessary to remove the washer to

clean the strainer. To clean, rinse

under running water. If necessary,

lightly wipe the wire mesh strainer

to help dislodge any accumulated

debris.

i iiii

Also check to be sure the rubber

washer is present in the end of the

Aquastop TMhose that attaches to

the appliance.

Plastic threads must only be

tightened by hand. Connect the

water supply hoses to the back of

the washer.

Tighten only metal-to metal

couplings (eg: connecting the

Aquastop _ hose to the faucet) an

additional two thirds turn using

pliers. Do not use pliers to tighten

plastic thread fittings onto plastic

or metal threads.

After connecting, turn on the water

completely and check that

connection points are watertight.

Hose Extension

The Aquastop _ hose may not fit in the

space available at the wall faucet. A

short extension hose (part no. 645787 )

is available without charge through

customer service (see page 31).

Other hoses

Available from appliance dealers:

Extended supply hose

(approx. 96.1 in./2.44 m).

The connection points are under full

water pressure. Check seal with

faucet fully open.

AquaStopTM

The AquaStop TM system is available in

select models only. AquaStop TM

protects against flood-type water

leakage through the clothes washer.

This is accomplished using a

stop valve in the AquaStop TM hose and

a floating switch in the washer base.

If a leak is detected, the system is

designed to shut off the water flow,

minimizing leakage.

AquaStop TM isan internal containment

technology, and does not protect

against outside forces, such as home

plumbing problems, or damage caused

to the machine's hose (such as

installation damage). The clothes

washer must be level and turned "on"

for proper functionality.

The AquaStop TM feature is not

active and will not operate if the

cycle selector is in the "Off"

position.

The washer must_e level for

correct Aquastop _Joperation.

AquaStop TMHose

The AquaStop TM hose is an external

containment technology that prevents

potential flooding ifthe hose leaks.

Ifthe AquaStop TMhose leaks, a red

mark is displayed and the water inlet is

blocked.

Water drai nag e

Do not bend or pull the water

drainage hose.

The drain pipe height should be no

lower than 12 inches (30.5 cm) below

the top of the washer and no higher

than 5 feet (152.4 cm) from the top of

the washer.

Connecting the water

drainage hose

Do not remove the screw from

the clamp assembly. Loosen the

screw only enough so that the

clamp will slide freely onto the

water drain hose.

Place the hose clamp over the end

of the drain hose before attaching

the drain hose to the appliance.

In-Wall Installation

Attach the elbow to the end of the

hose and insert the end of the

hose into the wall drain

approximately three and a half to

four inches. Do not allow the hose

to extend more than four inches

into the drain pipe.

The hose and elbow should be

properly extended into the open

drain pipe when seated as shown

in the above picture. There should

be a gap between the drain hose

and the drain pipe to prevent

pressure buildup.

Use a strap or cable tie to hold

hose in place. This is to keep the

hose from coming out of the drain

pipe during pump out. The hose

can be tied to one of the water

supply hoses, or other suitable

nearby points.

An AquastopT_ hose that has

activated cannot be reset. Contact

Customer Service for a

replacement hose (see page 31).

2. Attach the drain hose to the drain

hose connection on the back of

the appliance; position the hose

clamp approximately 3/8 inch (9

mm) from the end of the hose.

3. Tighten the clamp with a

screwdriver.

Leveling Procedure

Importance of Leveling

the Washer

The high spin speeds realized by your

high performance washer make

leveling the washer during installation a

critical issue to reduce noise and

vibration.

The washer feet are height adjustable

and must be adjusted so the washer is

leveland each foot is seated firmly

against the floor.

If these procedures are not

followed, the washer may

experience severe vibration

resulting in significant washer

movement and excessive noise

levels.

D Level the washer prior to stacking

the dryer on it ina stacked

washer/dryer installation.

Important Actions During

Leveling

Prior to beginning the leveling

procedure, move the washer into

the final location where you will

use it.

Do not push the washer across the

floor with the washer leveling feet

extended. This can damage the

floor or the washer leveling feet.

Start with all four washer leveling

feet turned all the way in so they

are snug up against the bottom of

the washer.

When leveling, keep the base of

the washer as low to the floor as

possible to reduce sound and

vibration during use. Extend the

washer leveling feet only as much

as is necessary to level the

washer.

Hold the washer foot (bottom

rubber portion) with a 36mm (1 1/2

in.) wrench or a pair of slip-joint

pliers while tightening the Iocknut

up against the bottom of the

washer. Do not allow the foot to

turn. If the washer leveling foot is

allowed to turn when tightening

the Iocknut, the height of the

washer on that corner will change.

Leveling Procedure

1. With the washer in its final position,

check to see if it is level. To do

this, use a bubble level if one is

available. An alternate method is

to place a large bowl nearly full of

water on the center of the top of

the washer. The water should be

about 1/2" (12.7 mm) from the top

of the bowl. If the water isthe

same distance from the top of the

bowl all the way around, the

washer is fairly level.

Press down on each corner of the

washer. The washer should feel

firm when pressed down upon,

there should be no "give" or

movement.

If a corner of the washer moves

downward when pushed down

upon, it is necessary to extend the

washer leveling foot under that

corner. The foot should touch the

floor firmly.

Use the 16 mm (5/8") wrench

provided (1) to turn the Iocknut

clockwise (2). Turn the Iocknut

downward until it locks against the

base of the foot. Once the Iocknut

is tight against the foot, the foot will

turn with it when the Iocknut is

turned. This will allow you to

extend the washer leveling foot.

(figure above shows the washer

leveling foot removed from the

washer for clarity).

Turn the foot clockwise to extend

it. Continue turning until the foot

feels snug against the floor. Try

pushing down on the corner of the

washer again. When the washer

corner does not move downward

when pushed, lock the foot in

place by tightening the Iocknut

back up against the bottom of the

washer.

Turn the foot counterclockwise to

raise it. The foot can be turned

with a 36 mm (1 1/2 in.)wrench or

a pair of slipjoint pliers. Do not

attempt to raise the foot by turning

the lock nut counterclockwise.

Only turn the lock nut

counterclockwise to lock it against

the washer bottom when the

leveling foot is correctly positioned.

Hold the lower rubber portion of

the washer foot with a 36 mm

(1 1/2 in.)wrench, or pair of slip

joint pliers, to keep it from turning.

(figure above shows the washer

leveling foot removed from the

washer for clarity).

8. Use the 16 mm (5/8 in.) wrench to

turn the Iocknut counterclockwise.

Turn the Iocknut until it locks in

place against the bottom of the

washer. The Iocknut should be

tight against the bottom of the

washer. Do not over tighten.

D Important: Do not allow the

washer leveling foot to turn when

turning the Iocknut, or the height of

the corner will be changed.

9. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for each

washer leveling foot until the

washer is level and all four feet

press firmly against the floor.

The washer should not rock or

move when pressing down on

each corner. If it does move,

repeat the process.

D If a washer foot must be raised

(shortened), it may be necessary to

reduce the weight on the foot so

that it can be turned freely.

10. Periodically recheck the leveling

status of the washer. Make sure

that all four feet remain locked in

place. Ifany rocking or movement

of the washer is observed, recheck

the leveling and the position of the

washer leveling feet.

Transporting the Washer

Treat spots and stains.

To prevent loss or damage to laundry

and the machine, the following items

can be washed only in a mesh laundry

bag:

Baby socks (small items)

Hosiery

Belts

Underwired bras (due to risk of the

wire coming loose during washing

and causing appliance damage).

Sorting the laundry

According to color and degree of

soiling

Items of clothing may become

discolored. Never wash new

multi-colored items together with

other items.

White items may become gray if

washed with dark items. Always wash

white and colored items separately.

Degrees of soiling

Lighter Soiling

Loading the laundry

TO AVOID EXPLOSION HAZARD!

Items of clothing that have been

pretreated with solvent-based

cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover

and dry cleaning solvents, represent

an explosion hazard once loaded

into the washing machine.

Therefore, these items must first be

rinsed thoroughly by hand.

Loose debris in the washing

machine drum can damage the

laundry. Before loading the laundry,

check that there is no debris in the

drum.

Open the door.

Place items loosely into the drum.

Mix up large and small items.

Items of varying size will distribute

better during the spin cycle.

For best results, it is recommended to

load the drum depending on the fabric

Do not exceed the maximum load

for the selected cycle. Overloading

will cause poor wash results and

will increase wrinkling.

Load the drum at least half full for

Cotton and Permanent Press

cycles. Small loads will tend to

create an unbalance condition.

Close the door completely. The

door should close easily. It should

not be necessary to force the door

to close.

Do not trap any items of clothing

between the door and rubber seal.

Laundry

Detergents and

Additives

Adding the correct

amount of detergent

TO AVOID RISK OF POISONING!

Keep detergents and additives out

of the reach of children.

Measure out the detergent (powder or

liquid) according to:

The water hardness. This

information can be obtained from

your local water authority. Soft

water requires less detergent.

The amount of laundry.

The degree of soiling. Information

on soiling can be found on Page

19.

The specifications of the detergent

manufacturer. Measuring the

correct amount of detergent

reduces the strain on the

environment and ensures optimum

washing results.

Too little detergent:

The laundry is not cleaned properly and

will eventually become gray and stiff.

Grayish brown spots may appear on

the laundry. The heater may calcify.

Too much detergent:

Excessive suds reduce wash agitation

producing poor washing and rinsing

results and may prevent proper

spinning.

Filling laundry detergent

and/or additives

Open the detergent dispenser

drawer.

Add the liquid detergent and/or

additive. First check to be sure the

liquid insert is present in the

detergent compartment (1). If

using a powder detergent, see the

note below on removing the liquid

detergent insert.

Do not overfill the compartment to

avoid early dispensing.

DO NOT operate the washer

without the detergent drawer in

place and fully closed!

If using a powder detergent, first

remove the liquid detergent insert

from compartment 1.

Store the liquid detergent insert for

later use.

We recommend HE detergents

because they are designed to

achieve optimum performance

with your front-loading washer.

Not using HE detergent could

cause problems such as

oversudsing, extended cycle

periods, or a decrease in wash

performance.

Look for the HE logo (pictured

below) on the front of your

detergent product.

Detergent Dispenser

Compartments

[] Detergent Compartment

Use to add detergent to the wash

load.
