sorry - not a problem I've experienced
For the Cottons + Prewash setting I can't find the following information. What I'd like to know is: - Does the washing machine do a full rinse/spin before the main wash? - Does it at least remove the soiled water from the Prewash before the main wash? - How long is the Prewash cycle in minutes (in fast, eco and mixed modes)?
I would like to clean some cloth nappies in the machine using the Prewash function instead of having to run the machine twice (i.e. doing a manual Prewash).
Hi how do you select a pre-wash function if the machine doesn’t have a button but has a dispensing option for pre-wash?
Hi I have a WGA244U0AU this make has a 15 min wash and 30 min wash however either cycle always goes well over an hour. How do you get a 15 min cycle?
Hi Rob, As per the user manual instructions: 'Before starting the programme, you can preselect the programme end ("Finish in" time) in 0.5h (h = hour) increments (between “minimum selectable ending time” and 9.5h) or 1 hour increments (between 10h and 24h) up to a maximum of 24 hours. To do this: 1. Select a programme (except myTime* programme). The programme duration is displayed for the selected programme, e.g. 2:30 (hours:minutes). 2. Select the (clock symbol) Finished in button repeatedly until the required number of hours is displayed. 3. Select the Start/Reload (play/pause symbol) button. The programme starts. The selected number of hours (e.g. 8h) is shown in the display panel and counts down until the programme starts. The duration of the programme is then displayed. Note: The length of the programme is automatically adjusted when the programme is running. Changes to the programme default settings or additional programme settings may also change the programme duration. After starting the programme (if a “Finish in” time has been selected and the programme has not yet started), you can change the preselected number of hours as follows: 1. Select the Start/Reload (play/pause symbol) button. 2. Select the (clock symbol) Finished in button repeatedly to change the number of hours. 3. Select the Start/Reload (play/pause symbol) button." * There is also, additional information on the "SpeedPerfect"15/30min settings on page 31 of your user instruction manual. If you do not have a copy of the manual, please email us at customersupport.au@bshg.com and we'll investigate further for you. Be sure to include the full ENR model number in your email which, can be found inside the appliance door, around the frame. Regards, Bosch Home Australia

is it normal not to see water up to the window (I know the items are wet) this is my first front loader so a bit to get used to and can l increase the water amount?
is it normal not to see water up to the window in this washer, it is my first front loader and will take some time to get familiar
It depends on how much of a load you have in the washer. If there is a lot of washing you won't usually see any water except when it runs down the door, but if you only put a few skimpy's in you might be able to see the water. If you can hear the water running there will be water in it and it won't usually go if the water is turned off or has no water in it. That's one of the good things about front loaders, they don't use a lot of water, they work on the old practice of bashing the washing on rocks. The next surprise you get is just how dry the washing is when it comes out and how quickly it dries. I can often bring one load in as I hang the next load out. I have had a front loader now for over 30 years and could never go back to a top loader, and I LOVE a Bosch. Hope this helps.
Where was it made Turkey or Germany ?
I think only series 8 are made in germany, it does mention on their website.

is there a pre-wash feature on this product? we just bought this and noticed there's no option for that feature unlike our old one. looks like you have to select the rinse program first to do the pre-wash then select another program for washing.
Hi Charito, Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch Washing Machine. This model does not have a pre wash feature. You can use the soak feature if required. Before the main wash cycle starts, the washing remains for longer in the water to partially dissolve intensive soiling. This can be found on page 32 of your user manual.
