IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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 Mainte-
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 flam-
mable, or explosive substances as they give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.

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.
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 accumu-
lated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable do
not smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
Do not allow children to play on or in the ap-
pliance. Close supervision of children is neces-
sary when the appliance is used near children.
When children become old enough to operate
the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the
parents or guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified per-
sons.
7. Before the appliance is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door and the power
cord/plug.
8. Do not reach into the appliance if the wash
drum is still turning.
9. Do not install or store this appliance where it will
be exposed to the weather.
10. Do not tamper with the controls.
11. Do not repair or replace any part of the ap-
pliance or attempt any service unless specifi-
cally recommended in the user maintenance
instructions or in published user repair instruc-
tions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
12. Always be sure to unplug the washing machine
from the electrical supply before attempting any
service. Disconnect the power cord by grasp-
ing the plug, not the cord.
13. 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 distil-
lates, waxes, fats, etc., must not be placed in
the washing machine. These items may contain
some flammable substance(s) after laundering,
which may smoke or catch fire by itself.
