Quick guide from the manual
This document provides essential maintenance and usage tips to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Bosch washer and dryer. It covers routine cleaning procedures and best practices for daily operation.
Maintenance
- Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter after each drying cycle by pulling it out and removing lint by hand. If the filter is severely dirty, rinse it gently under running water and allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
- Moisture Sensor: Clean the dryer's moisture sensor (located behind the lint filter) once per month. Wipe it with a soft cloth and a little white vinegar.
- Condenser: Clean the dryer's condenser once a month. Refer to your full owner's manual for specific instructions.
- Air Inlet: Do not cover or allow any items to restrict the air inlet on the front of the dryer.
- Rubber Gasket: After each wash cycle, remove clothes and wipe the rubber gasket dry. Leave the washer and detergent door slightly open to allow remaining moisture to evaporate.
Usage Tips
- Home Connect App: Pair your appliance with the Home Connect app on your phone or tablet to receive cycle status notifications or to start your appliances remotely.
- Detergent: Use a high-efficiency detergent to create less suds and clean clothes more effectively.
- Spin Speed: Use the highest possible spin speed recommended for the type of laundry to extract more moisture, which reduces drying time and energy consumption.
- Load Size: Do not overfill your washer or dryer. Consult the user manual for the recommended load size for your chosen program.
