IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious
injury or death to persons when using your
washing machine, follow basic precautions,
including the following.
1. BOSCH washers are provided with a manual,
including Operating Instructions, User MainteĆ
nance Instructions and Installation Instructions.
Read all instructions before using the washing
machine.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, other flamĆ
mable, or explosive substances as they give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before
using a washing machine, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumuĆ
lated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable do
not smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the apĆ
pliance. Close supervision of children is necesĆ
sary when the appliance is used near children.
6. Before the appliance is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door and the power
cord/plug.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the wash
drum is moving.
8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will
be exposed to the weather.
9. Do not tamper with the controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the apĆ
pliance or attempt any service unless specifiĆ
cally recommended in the userĆmaintenance
instructions or in published user repair instrucĆ
tions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
11. Always be sure to unplug the washing machine
from the electrical supply before attempting any
service. Disconnect the power cord by graspĆ
ing the plug, not the cord.
