Setup
Before using the cleaner, ensure your washing machine is prepared:
- Ensure your washing machine is completely empty of laundry.
- Close the washing machine door securely.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to effectively clean your washing machine:
- Add Cleaner: Open the detergent dispenser drawer or directly add the entire contents of one 200g box of Bosch Siemens Washing Machine Cleaner into the empty washing machine drum. Do not add any laundry or other detergents.
- Select Program: Choose the hottest and longest wash cycle available on your washing machine. A program with a minimum temperature of 90°C (194°F) is recommended for optimal cleaning results.
- Start Cycle: Start the selected wash cycle. Allow the machine to complete the full cycle.
- Post-Cycle: Once the cycle is complete, wipe down the rubber seal around the door and the detergent dispenser drawer with a damp cloth to remove any loosened residue.
Note: The cleaner works by dissolving detergent residues, grease, and dirt, which can cause unpleasant odors and affect washing performance.
Maintenance Schedule
For optimal washing machine hygiene and performance, it is recommended to use the Bosch Siemens Washing Machine Cleaner regularly:
- For daily machine users, apply the cleaner every 3 months.
- For machines used 2-3 times a week, consider cleaning every 90-100 washes or every 6 months.
- This product is a cleaner, not a descaler. If you have hard water, consider using a separate descaling product alternately with this cleaner. For example, use the cleaner at 3 months, and a descaler at 6 months.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unpleasant odors persist after cleaning. | Severe build-up or mold in inaccessible areas. | Repeat the cleaning cycle. Ensure the hottest and longest cycle was used. Check and clean the detergent dispenser and door seal manually. If odors persist, professional servicing may be required. |
| Residue visible in the drum after cleaning. | Heavy accumulation of dirt or detergent. | Run an additional rinse cycle. Wipe down the drum interior with a damp cloth. Consider increasing the frequency of cleaning. |
| Cleaner did not dissolve completely. | Insufficient water temperature or cycle duration. | Ensure a wash cycle of at least 90°C and the longest duration is selected. Break up any clumps before adding the cleaner. |
