Installation checklist
Review the following list and check off each step as it is
completed during installation.
Importance of installing on a solid, level
floor
Your new Bosch washing machine utilizes high spin
speeds to achieve superior water removal from your
laundry resulting in reduced drying time. It is important to
install your washing machine on a floor that will provide
firm support. This prevents the washer from experiencing
excess vibration during spinning that could cause the
washer to move or be noisy.
The installation surface must be solid and level in both
directions. Avoid installing your washer on soft surfaces
such as floors with carpet or foam backed covering
material.
If installing the washer on a wooden floor, observe the
following:
▯install the washer in a corner for better support if
possible.
▯if necessary, reinforce the floor by screwing a water
resistant wooden board to the floor (minimum of
1.18 in./30 mm thick).
▯secure the front feet of the washing machine with
holding brackets. A set of holding brackets can be
obtained from a specialist store or from Customer
Service (part number WMZ 2200).
