How to use a Bosch washing machine

how to use SM BoschBuying a high-quality modern Bosch washing machine is only half the battle; you need to learn how to use it correctly. Even the best equipment will not provide acceptable washing quality if the user systematically violates the operating rules prescribed in the instructions. We decided to focus our attention in this article on how to properly use a Bosch washing machine. If you recently bought yourself just such a machine, read this publication carefully, it will come in handy.

Characteristics of this technique

Modern Bosch washing machines are fundamentally different from the equipment that was produced under this brand 10-15 years ago. There is almost nothing left in them from the previous washing machines. The design and dimensions of the case have changed, and the contents of the control panel have changed. Hundreds of innovations have been applied to modern Bosch technology, and each such innovation slightly improves the performance characteristics of a particular model.

Over the past years, a line of Maxx Adventage washing machine models has appeared, which is in demand among owners of small apartments with small bathrooms. The LogiXX series equipment has been chosen by lovers of advanced technologies with a modest budget. In general, the Bosch company has released a lot of budget models of washing machines in recent years, focusing mainly on buyers with modest incomes. The calling card of Bosch washing machines is:

  • durability.

Selecting a washing program

To ensure high quality washing on a Bosch washing machine, the user must be able to correctly select and adjust washing programs. The developers tried to create a separate program for each type of laundry, so there should be no problems with the choice. Modern Bosch washing machines usually have 12-16 programs.

  1. Special program for washing wool.washing programs are signed on the control panel
  2. Pre-wash mode.
  3. Mode for gentle cleaning of delicate fabrics.
  4. Stain removal program.
  5. Special mode for washing sportswear.
  6. Pillow care program.
  7. A program designed for washing down jackets and down jackets.
  8. Mode for washing children's clothes.
  9. Program for normal, everyday washing.
  10. Fast program.
  11. Washing in water saving mode.
  12. Wash in maximum amount of water, etc.

The desired washing program can be selected immediately after turning on the washing machine by turning the programmer knob to the desired position. All programs are signed on the control panel or indicated by icons. If you have difficulty recognizing a particular designation, look at the user manual.

Of course, the instructions are described in “dry technical language” and not everyone likes to read them, but we found a way out. On our website you can find technical texts translated into an easy-to-read form. We offer manuals for the following most popular Bosch washing machines:

Experienced housewives know that simply choosing one or another washing program is not enough.To achieve the best result, the program needs to be adjusted. The control modules of modern Bosch machines allow the user to adjust the programmed washing modes within certain limits. You can add and reduce spin speed, you can reduce and increase the water temperature. You can even adjust the program startup time, but you cannot make radical changes manually.

To adjust the program start time, there is a delayed start function.

Let's give an example and you will understand everything. So, a gentle program. In this mode, the machine spins clothes at a very low speed. If the user wants to manually add a critical number of revolutions of 800 or more, the program will simply reset the user settings. Why she will do this is not difficult to guess.

Powders, gels and rinses

Sensitive filters are installed inside modern Bosch washing machines, so you need to be careful when choosing detergents. You should not use homemade powders, recipes for which can be found in large quantities on various portals on the Internet. These powders not only do not provide the proper quality of washing, they harm the laundry and parts of the “home assistant”.washing powders for Bosch machine

Under no circumstances should you use washing powders that are intended for washing clothes by hand. Such products provoke increased foaming, which in turn will lead to freezing of the Bosch washing machine, and in the worst case, to burnout of its electronic module.

It is best to use washing powders recommended by the washing machine manufacturer Bosch itself.The current list of these products is published on the Bosch website, you can open it and read it. Try to use only proven, certified products and then your “home assistant” will work for many years without any problems.

How to care?

It is impossible to operate a Bosch washing machine without proper care. The “home assistant” does not require daily attention from the user, but it does need to be serviced once every 2-3 months. What do you need to pay attention to?

  1. Cleaning the debris filter.Cleaning the garbage filter in SM Bosch
  2. Inspect the rubber seal (cuff) of the loading hatch.
  3. Cleaning the internal surfaces of the drum from various contaminants.
  4. Cleaning the powder receptacle from powder and rinse aid residues.
  5. Inspect and clean the flow filter installed on the inlet hose.

It would also be a good idea to completely check the drainage system once every 6 months, since blockages often form there. Without proper care, the rifle will very soon fail, so do not neglect these simple rules and everything will be fine.
