Secure the appliance with straps or bungee cords to prevent shifting during transit.
Before storage, empty the drum and remove any remaining detergent or fabric softener. Inspect the door seal for cracks or debris and clean with a mild detergent. Dry the interior thoroughly to prevent mold growth. If the washer will be unused for an extended period, disconnect the power cord and water supply. Cover the machine with a breathable cloth to protect against dust while allowing airflow.
Store the washer in a dry, well‑ventilated area away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or moisture. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of the appliance, as this can damage the frame and electronic controls. If the washer is placed on a floor, ensure the surface is level to maintain proper operation. For long‑term storage, consider removing the water inlet hoses and storing them separately to prevent leaks.
When re‑installing after storage, re‑attach the water hoses, ensure the drain hose is properly positioned, and reconnect the power supply. Perform a quick spin cycle with no load to verify that the machine is functioning correctly before adding laundry. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for any additional maintenance required after prolonged storage.!!
Installation & Setup
Place the Bosch Axxis washer on a surface, leaving 10 cm clearance from walls for ventilation. Connect water inlet hoses to supply valves, ensuring shut‑off valves are closed before attachment. Secure the drain hose to a floor drain or stand‑pipe, run a test cycle to confirm installation.
Unpacking & Placement
Begin by carefully removing the Bosch Axxis washer from its packaging. Inspect the outer box for any visible damage and verify that all accessories listed in the contents section are present: water inlet hoses, drain hose, installation instructions, and the user manual. Place the appliance on a level, stable surface, ensuring at least 10 cm of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation and access to the door and control panel. Use a dolly or hand truck to move the unit, keeping it upright to avoid damaging internal components. Once positioned, double‑check that the floor is level; adjust the built‑in leveling feet as needed to prevent excessive vibration during operation. Finally, secure the washer to the floor or wall if required by local building codes, and wait at least 15 minutes before connecting water and power to allow the internal pressure to equalize.
Additional steps include verifying the washer’s tilt level with a bubble level, ensuring the floor is even to prevent rocking.

Keep the door seal clean by wiping it with a damp cloth after each wash; this prevents mold growth and prolongs the seal’s life. Store the washer in a dry area, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the plastic components’ integrity. Finally, test the machine with a short cycle to confirm all connections are secure before running full loads.
If you hear noises or vibrations, stop the machine, check for obstructions parts before restarting and safety!!
Water & Drain Connections
Before powering on your Bosch Axxis washer, connect the water supply and drain hoses according to the diagram below. Use only the supplied hoses to avoid leaks. Attach the inlet hose to the high‑pressure water tap, ensuring the valve is fully open. The hose should be routed through the cabinet and secured with a hose clamp to prevent movement; For the drain, connect the hose to the machine’s drain outlet, leaving a 20 cm slack to accommodate the pump’s range of motion. Route the drain hose to a suitable drainage point, such as a floor drain or a stand‑pipe, and secure it with a clamp. The hose must be angled upward to prevent back‑flow and allow gravity to assist the drain pump. Check all connections for tightness; a loose clamp can cause water to leak during a wash cycle. After securing the hoses, perform a quick test by running a short cycle with no load. Observe the inlet for any dripping and the drain for proper egress. If water appears at the connections, tighten the clamps further or replace damaged hose sections. Once the test cycle completes without leaks, the washer is ready for normal operation. Keep the water inlet and drain hoses free from kinks, as these can restrict flow and reduce washing efficiency. Store any spare hose sections in a dry area for future maintenance. Always follow local plumbing codes when installing the washer to ensure compliance and safety.!!!
Remember to inspect the water inlet filter on the back of the machine before each use. A clogged filter can reduce water flow and lead to longer cycle times. Use a small brush to clean any debris. Also, keep the drain area clear of hair and lint; a blocked drain can cause the machine to overheat and shut down. Periodically check the drain hose for signs of wear, such as cracks or bulges, and replace it if necessary. This simple maintenance step will keep your washer running smoothly for years.
Also, ensure the washer is placed on a flat surface to avoid vibration during spin cycles. A tilted machine can cause excessive noise and reduce washing performance.
Electrical Connection
Before connecting the Bosch Axxis washer to the mains, verify that the power supply meets the appliance’s voltage and frequency specifications listed on the label. The standard European model requires a 230 V, 50 Hz supply; the U.S. version uses 120 V, 60 Hz. Use a dedicated circuit with a 16 A circuit breaker or fuse, and ensure the outlet is grounded. The washer’s plug should be inserted into a polarized outlet to prevent reverse polarity. Avoid using extension cords or power strips, as they can introduce voltage drops and increase the risk of electrical shock.
When wiring the machine, keep the cable away from heat sources, sharp edges, and moving parts. Route the cable through the cabinet or along the wall, securing it with cable ties or clips. The cable should be at least 1.5 mm² for 230 V models and 2.5 mm² for 120 V models to handle the current load. If you are not comfortable with electrical work, consult a licensed electrician. The washer’s internal wiring diagram is available in the technical service section of the manual; it shows the connections for the motor, control board, and safety interlocks.
After securing the cable, check for any visible damage. A frayed or exposed conductor can cause a short circuit. If the washer does not power on, double‑check the breaker, outlet, and plug. Keep the area around the washer dry and free of conductive materials to prevent accidental contact. Finally, label the outlet with the washer’s voltage and amperage rating for future reference. Ensure the power cord is insulated and free from wear to maintain safety safely.!!!

Detergent & Fabric Softener Usage
Use the dedicated detergent drawer to add powder, liquid, or pods. For powder, fill the Powder compartment to the indicated level; for liquid, pour into the Liquid compartment; for pods, place directly in the drum. The Axxis is designed to handle high‑efficiency detergents; avoid using regular detergents as they may cause excess suds. When adding fabric softener, use the Softener compartment. The machine releases the softener automatically during the rinse cycle, ensuring even distribution. Do not overfill; excess softener can lead to residue on clothes and in the drum. For heavily soiled loads, add an extra detergent dose before starting the cycle. The machine’s Eco Wash program reduces detergent usage by 30%, so adjust accordingly. If you prefer a fragrance‑free wash, skip the softener compartment. Always check the detergent label for recommended amounts based on load size and soil level. For delicate fabrics, use a mild detergent and the Delicates cycle. The Axxis also offers a Fabric Softener option that can be activated via the control panel for a custom release. Remember to keep the detergent drawer clean; residue buildup can clog the dispenser. Periodically wipe the drawer with a damp cloth. For best results, always pre‑wash heavily soiled items. The softener compartment should not be used with bleach. If you notice any residue, run a rinse cycle. The Axxis also supports a Stain Removal option for tough stains. Add detergent per load
Maintenance & Care
Keep the Bosch Axxis clean by wiping the drum after each wash. Clean the filter monthly. Run a hot wash with vinegar or a commercial cleaner once a month to remove odors.
