Bosch Axxis® Washer Quick Start
Congratulations, you have chosen a modern, high-quality home appliance from Bosch. The washing
machine features both water and energy savings. To get started using your washing machine, please
read the directions below.
1. We recommend HE (High efficiency) detergents because they are particularly designed to
deliver optimum performance from your front-loading washer. Not using HE detergent could
cause problems such as oversudsing, extended cycle periods, or a decrease in wash
performance. Please read manufacture directions for amount.
2. Before the first wash, run one time with no laundry. Open water tap and fill with
approximately 1 liter of water and afterwards fill ½ measuring cup of detergent into dispenser
II. Select Cotton Hot cycle and then Start/Pause. At the end of the cycle, set the cycle
selector to Off.
3. The dispenser does not have a bleach option. For washing white clothes, the hot water cycles
use an internal water heater to provide a very efficient cleaning result with low amounts of
washing detergent. This is an environment friendly process and gentler on clothes.
4. Dispenser I is for liquid detergent. To prepare dispenser for using liquid detergent, pull drawer
completely out by pressing down on drawer removal mechanism in center of dispenser. Push
dispenser forwards in section I. If not using liquid detergent, push dispenser in the up position.
The center position of the dispenser drawer, indicated with a flower sign, is for using liquid
starch or fabric softener. It is recommended to dilute thick starch and fabric softener with
water. Position II is to be used when using powder or gel detergents.
5. Before washing your clothes, empty pockets and wash new items separately.
6. Select clothes cycle with dial and additional options by selecting buttons. All buttons are
sensitive and only need to be touched briefly. Continued pressing of the option buttons causes
automatic sequence of the setting options.
7. The Heavy Duty option is intended for heavily soiled and multiple stains. Cold water will be
introduced and will graduate into warm, hot, and sanitize depending on cycle selection. Please
see Use and Care manual for detailed information on cycles and options.
8. The cycles are time-controlled for lightly soiled fabrics. If fabrics are heavily soiled, reduce
the load or select additional functions, e.g. Heavy duty option.
9. For best results, it is recommended to load the drum depending on the fabric type: Full Load:
Cottons and Linens; ½ Load: Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends and Ply Knits; 1/3 Load:
Wool, Delicates, Silk.
10. Upon completion of a cycle, leave door ajar for a short period of time to ensure complete
drying of the interior.
Bosch Axxis® Condensing Dryer Quick Start
Congratulations, you have chosen a modern, high-quality home appliance from Bosch. A distinctive
feature of your dryer is low energy consumption. To get started using your dryer, please read the
directions below.
1. Tips on saving energy, money and time:
a. Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine. Use the highest
possible spin speed for the type of laundry.
b. Use maximum recommended loads. However, do not exceed loads.
c. Clean the filter before and after each drying process.
d. During the drying process provide an adequate supply of fresh air.
e. Do not dry rubberized or air-tight items.
2. Cleaning and Care:
a. Wipe the housing and fascia with a soft cloth and soapy water only.
b. Wipe the drum, door seal and inside of the door with a damp cloth only.
c. The lint filter should be cleaned after each drying process, however at the latest when
the “Filter” light illuminates. The filter should be rinsed once a year under warm
running water. If using dryer sheets, this should be done more frequently and a mild
detergent may be needed to remove wax build up.
d. Clean the air cooler 3-4 times a year or if “Filter” indicator flashes continuously after
the fluff filter has been cleaned. See Use and Care manual for instructions (Page 18 &
19).
e. Occasionally clean the moisture sensors with a soft cloth and a little white vinegar to
remove a fine layer of transparent buildup. More often if dryer sheets are used. See
Use and Care manual for instructions (Page 19).
3. Selecting a Program: For optimum drying results your dryer offers several program
groups and additional options. There are automatic programs for different types of textiles;
regular/cotton, permanent press.
a. Regular/Cotton: For cottons and coloreds made of cotton or linen. “Extra Dry” for
terry bathrobes and terry bed linen; “Very Dry” for thick terry towels, kitchen towels,
hand towels, bed linen underwear, cotton socks; “Regular Dry” for terry towels, kitchen
towels, hand towels, bed linen, underwear, cotton socks; “Damp Dry” for T-shirts,
sports shirts, dresses, trousers, overalls, underwear, bed linen and table linen.
b. Permanent Press: Easy-care (drip-dry) laundry made of synthetic and blended fabric,
cotton e.g. polyester. “Very Dry” for bed linen and table linen, track suits, anoraks,
blankets; “Regular Dry” for shirts, blouses, sports clothing; “Damp Dry” for trousers,
dresses, skirts, shirts, blouses, leggings, sports clothing with synthetic-rich fibers,
lingerie.
c. Special Cycles: “Wools” for washable woolen textiles; “Short” for small loads and
loads that need a short drying time.
4. Options:
a. Low Heat for temperature sensitive textiles. The temperature of the drying process is
reduced, the drying time is extended.
b. Easy Ironing extends the automatic Wrinkleblock feature from 1 hour to 2 hours. This
feature prevents the laundry from creasing. The dryer drum rotates at specific intervals
following the drying program.
