Removing The Transport Bolts; Water Connection - Bosch WFMC220BUC Operating Instructions Manual

Removing the transport bolts
To avoid possible injury and damage
to the appliance and adjacent
surfaces, all 4 transport bolts must
be removed before using the
appliance for the first time and must
be retained for any future transport
(e.g. when moving).
Completely remove all 4 transport
bolt assemblies (bolt, spring, washer
and bushings). Relieve pressure on
the bushings by reaching through
the open washing machine door and
pulling the drum slightly forward
towards the door. Then pull the bolt
assemblies out from the back of the
washer as pictured below.
E3 If the bushings do not come out
when removing tile bolts, place tile
bolts back into the bushings and
carefully try again. It is important to
do this with the bolts, otherwise the
bushings will not come out properly.
Helpful Hints
Loosen all four bolts before
removing any of the bolts all the
way from the unit.
Remove the bottom two bolts prior
to removing the top two bolts.
E3 Loosen the bolts using the closed
end of the 1/2" wrench provided.
Loosen them until they can be
removed freely.
The recessed bottom bolts may be
more easily removed using a 1/2"
(13 mm) socket wrench.
To store the bolts for future use, do
not remove the bolts from the
plastic bushings.
After removing the transport bolt
assemblies, use the four plastic covers
provided to close the openings.
Insert the covers until they snap
completely into place.
Storing the transport bolts
Always keep the transport bolts for
future transportation of the appliance
(such as when moving out).
Store the transport bolts with the
washer and bushing attached.
Water connection
Water supply
The washing machine must only be
operated with cold and hot (max.
140 °F / 60 °C) tap water. Do not
connect the appliance to the mixer
tap of an unpressurized hot-water
boiler.
If in doubt, have the water connection
installed by an authorized technician.
The water supply hoses must not be:
- Bent or flattened.
- Modified or cut (integrity can
no longer be guaranteed).
Observe the water pressure in the
supply network:
- The water pressure should be
between 14.5 and 145 p.s.i.
(1 and 10 bars) when the tap
is turned on, at least 2.2 U. S.
gallons (8 liters) of water should be
discharged per minute.
- A pressure regulator valve must be
installed if the maximum water
pressure is exceeded.
To prevent water damage, the hot
and cold water valves should be
accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should
always be turned off when the
washing machine is not in use.
If installing the washing machine in a
new building or a building in which
the plumbing system was recently
installed or upgraded, flush the lines
before installing the washing
machine to remove any sand, dirt or
residue.
