Finally, the new automatic machine was delivered from the store. All that remains is to unpack the washing machine, install it, connect it to communications and launch the “home assistant” for the first time. Let's figure out how to properly turn on a Bosch washing machine, prepare a place for it, and how to start the first wash.
Finding a place for the machine
The first step is to carefully unpack the machine. When the original packaging is removed, it is imperative to unscrew the shipping bolts. They can be accessed from the back of the washer. After removing the fasteners, there will be holes in the case; they need to be closed with special plastic plugs included in the kit.
It is strictly prohibited to operate a Bosch washing machine with the transport bolts not removed, as this will cause damage to the equipment.
Then you need to place the washing machine in the designated place. The floor covering under the automatic machine should be as smooth and hard as possible. It is possible to place a special anti-vibration mat under the housing. Then you should adjust the legs of the washer so that it stands very stable.
You can check that the Bosch washing machine is level using a regular building level. Based on the readings of the instrument, you need to adjust the body by twisting or unscrewing the legs.
Connecting with communications
The next step will be connecting the equipment to the water supply and sewerage system. If the washing machine is placed in its old place, then all the connections are already organized - the pipes have a drain point and a branch with a tap for water to enter the machine.There is also a socket for the machine's power cord.
If you don’t have any of this, you’ll have to organize a “home assistant” workplace from scratch. A separate outlet for the washing machine should be provided. It is also advisable to equip the point with a residual current device and automatically. This will protect the machine from power surges.
Next, you need to connect the washing machine to the sewer. Draining can be done in a simple way, for example, by running the pipe into a bathtub or sink. The machine comes with a plastic hook that fits onto the end of the drainage hose and hangs on the edge of the plumbing fixture. This method will take a minimum of time, but is not considered reliable. Firstly, the structure can break and “flood” everything around it. Secondly, this drainage option is unhygienic, since waste water will constantly flow through the bathtub or washbasin.
It is advisable to discharge the waste directly into the sewer. To do this, it is recommended to purchase a special siphon.
Finally, all that remains is to connect the washing machine to the water supply. Here it is necessary to make an insert into the pipe and organize a special branch. A shut-off valve is installed, with which, if necessary, it will be possible to shut off the water supply to the machine. Now that both the drain and inlet hoses are in place, you can start the wash.
Activation of the machine
At the final stage, all that remains is to plug in the Bosch washing machine and select the required washing mode. The first start of the automatic machine should be done “idle”, with an empty drum. This is necessary so that the equipment is thoroughly washed from the inside, cleaned of factory debris and dirt.
Now you can start washing your clothes. To do this, the laundry is sorted and placed in a drum.Use the machine carefully and do not exceed the maximum loading weight specified in the instructions. Then you need to close the hatch door tightly and pour the powder into the dispenser. It is important to follow the dosage of detergents and not to “overfill” them, otherwise too much foam will form in the drum and the machine will not rinse things well.
It’s easy to understand the interface of a Bosch washing machine. The control panel lists all possible washing modes. Depending on what items are placed in the drum, you can select one of the programs:
wool;
cotton;
synthetics;
jeans;
sports items;
down clothes, etc.
If there are no inscriptions on the panel, and everything is indicated by symbols, for example, an icon of a shirt on a hanger or a picture of pants, then the interpretation of the programs can be found in the instructions. Thus, the first emblem, presented as an example, corresponds to the mode for artificial fabrics, the second is a sign for washing denim items.
Sometimes you may need to manually set the washing temperature and spin speed; to do this, use the corresponding buttons on the panel.
Basically, you just need to select a mode and start the wash by pressing “Start”. The automatic machine will set the cycle parameters independently.
Finally, the new automatic machine was delivered from the store. All that remains is to unpack the washing machine, install it, connect it to communications and launch the “home assistant” for the first time. Let's figure out how to properly turn on a Bosch washing machine, prepare a place for it, and how to start the first wash.
