Frequently Asked Questions - WOE135S0ZA BOSCH

How do I activate the childproof lock on my Bosch WOE135S0ZA?

Press and hold the wash/Wash and Rinse buttons simultaneously for about 3 seconds. The child lock indicator light will change status. Note: If the lid is opened while child lock is active, error code E3 will appear.

What does error code E2 mean and how can I fix it?

Error code E2 indicates a blocked drain pump or drain hose. First, clean the drain pump as described in the manual (remove pump cover, drain water, clean impeller). If the issue persists, check the drain hose for kinks or blockages.

How often should I run the Tub Clean program?

It is recommended to run the Tub Clean program once a month to prevent odours and maintain hygiene. Use standard washing powder or a detergent containing bleach, but only half the recommended amount to avoid foaming.

Can I use liquid detergent in this washing machine?

Yes, you can use liquid detergent. Add it to compartment II of the detergent drawer. For powder detergent, use compartment I.

How do I clean the lint filter?

After each wash, remove the filter from its holder inside the drum. Clean the net bag, then reinsert the filter. Refer to the manual for detailed illustrations.

What should I do if the washing machine vibrates excessively during spin?

Ensure the appliance is levelled using the adjustable feet. Tighten the lock nuts after levelling. Also, avoid unbalanced loads by mixing large and small items.

How do I delay the start of a programme?

After selecting a programme, press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the delay time in hours (e.g., 8h). The display will count down. Note: Auto Start function is disabled when delay is active.

What is the maximum load capacity of this model?

The maximum load is 6.5 kg. Overloading may reduce wash quality and increase creasing. Always check the care labels of your laundry.

How do I transport the washing machine?

Turn off the tap, run the Spin program to drain water, unplug the machine, drain remaining water via the drain pump (if applicable), and remove hoses. Keep the machine upright during transport.

Where can I find the model number (E-Nr.) and production number (FD)?

The rating plate is located on the inside of the lid and on the back of the appliance. Provide these numbers when contacting Bosch after-sales service.

Water drainage

Caution!

Water damage

When water is being pumped away, the drain hose is under high water pressure and may slip out of the wash basin or connection point. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.

Caution!

Damage to the appliance/laundry If the end of the drain hose is immersed in the drained water, water may be sucked back into the appliance and may damage the appliance/laundry. Make sure that: ■ The wash basin outlet is not blocked, ■ The end of the drain hose is not immersed in the drained water, ■ The water drains away quickly enough.

Connect the water drain hose as follows:

1. Use the spring clip to secure the water drain hose to the outlet on the appliance.

Note: Only for appliances with a separate water drain hose.

1. Second end of the water drain hose - For models with a pump, attach it to a waste pipe or hang it in a wash basin.

Note: The height difference between the surface on which the appliance is installed and the drain pipe must be between 86 and 100 cm, depending on the product variant.→ Page 5

- For models without a pump, secure it in a floor drain.

Notes

- The height difference between the surface on which the appliance is installed and the water drain hose should be more than 15 cm.

- If you extend the drain hose, its total length should be no more than 3 m. Otherwise, the water will not be able to drain away properly.

Electrical connection

Warning

Risk of electric shock/fire/material damage/damage to the appliance!

If the appliance is not installed properly, this may lead to a dangerous situation. Ensure the following:

■ The mains voltage on your power socket must match the rated voltage specified on the appliance (identification plate). The connected loads and the required fuse protection are specified on the identification plate.
