IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
d DANGER d
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, serious injury
or death when using your
washing machine, follow basic
precautions, including the
following:
1. BOSCH washers are provided
with an Operating, Care and
Installation Instructions Manual.
Read and understand all
instructions before using the
washing machine.
2. Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned,
washed, soaked, or spotted
with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, other flammable 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 this length of time, turn
on all hot water faucets and let
the water flow out of each
faucet for several minutes
before using the washing
machine. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open
flame while carrying out this
procedure.
5. Before the appliance is
removed from service or
discarded, remove the door
and the power cord/plug.
6. Do not reach into the appliance
if the wash drum is moving.
7. Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
8. Do not tamper with the
controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any service unless specifically
recommended in the user
maintenance instructions or in
published user repair
instructions that you
understand and have the skills
to carry out.
10. Always unplug the washing
machine from the power supply
before attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
11. To reduce the risk of fire,
clothes, cleaning rags, mop
heads and the like which have
traces of any flammable
substance, such as vegetable
oil, cooking oil, petroleum
based oils or distillates, waxes,
fats, etc., must not be placed in
the washing machine. These
items may contain flammable
substances which, even after
washing, may smoke or catch
fire.
12. Do not machine wash
fiberglass materials (such as
curtains and window coverings
that use fiberglass materials).
Small particles may remain in
the washing machine and stick
to fabrics in subsequent wash
loads causing skin irritation.
13. Do not allow children to play on
or with the appliance. Close suĆ

adapter to connect the
washing machine to the power
supply.
21. The washing machine must
only be used for its intended
purpose.
22. Always follow the fabric care
instructions recommended by
the clothing manufacturer.

water shutĆoff valve(s) at the
