German technology is considered the most reliable, smart and practical. As long as models such as the Bosch Logixx 6 Sensitive continue to appear on the household appliances market, this opinion about all products will remain for a long time.
This washing machine has a vertical loading. It is quite easy to use even without instructions. But there are times when solving a problem on your own is very difficult and almost impossible without certain knowledge. These can be gleaned from instruction manuals or articles such as this one.
Preparing to connect
As you know, washing machines are transported over different distances, so the manufacturer packs them tightly and securely so that they are not damaged along the way. Basically, all the structural elements of the washing machine are located on it. But sometimes they are placed in a separate bag to ensure compactness.
When the washing machine is in the house, first of all you need to remove the packaging and check whether all the components are in place. In the case of home delivery, this must be done directly in front of the delivery person. When unpacking, you need to check the set of fasteners that are necessary to secure the main parts of the washing machine.
Important! The places where the transportation bolts are screwed must be closed with the plugs included in the package. This will prevent dust and dirt from getting inside the washing machine.
In the operating instructions, the manufacturer usually indicates where it is best to install the washing machine. The main thing is that the basic requirements that relate to the safe operation of the installation are not violated. In terms of convenience, it is important that you can easily approach the washing mashine.
To ensure normal, uninterrupted operation, it is necessary that there be at least 10 cm between the washing machine and another element of the interior or the wall. Putting things on the lid of the machine during washing is strictly prohibited.
As with any machine, it is important that the Bosch Logixx 6 is placed on a level and solid surface. The use of fabric flooring is unacceptable. If the surface is uneven or there is a “playing floor” effect, then it must be eliminated, strengthened, or another place for installation must be found.
It is not recommended to install the machine on parquet or laminate flooring. Even the most reliable machine, due to poor care and improper operation, can fail and leak. It will not be very pleasant when parquet or laminate absorbs moisture.
In order for the washing machine to work properly, you need to supply water to it, connect the electricity and drain the drain. Naturally, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the inlet and outlet tubes and the passage of the wire into the network. It is advisable that the washing machine power cord does not touch the floor and is as high as possible.
Next, the machine is dragged to a clean and prepared place. Hoses and fasteners are also removed there. It will not be possible to move the machine from point “A” to point “B” alone, so all work must be done with a partner.
To prevent the “home assistant” from tormenting the family with rattling and sounds, it is necessary to level it well.Bosch Logixx 6 Sensitive has adjustable feet, which reduces installation time to a minimum.
Connection to water and sewerage
The connection kit includes an inlet hose equipped with an Aqua Stop function. It must be connected to the inlet valve located on the rear side of the housing at the top. Installing the rubber O-ring included in the kit will prevent water leakage.
The next step is to turn off the water and unscrew the hose that goes from the water supply to the tap. There you need to install a tee and screw back the cold water hose and our tube that comes from the washing machine. To ensure the tightness of the connection, a sealant is wound onto the thread.
With a drain hose everything is easier. It just needs to be connected to the sewer. There are several options here. The first is to simply throw the end of the hose into the drainage channel. But we cannot say that this is the most aesthetically advantageous method. The second is to use the sewer outlet, if available. The third is to use a side outlet siphon of a purchased or existing siphon.
Electrical connection
It would seem that what could be difficult about connecting the SM to electricity? But here there are some nuances that you need to know about. Electrical communications are prepared in advance. It is dangerous to connect the unit to a regular outlet, so today it is popular to use a moisture-resistant outlet.
The outlet must be grounded. To power this element, a three-core copper wire is used, which has a cross-section of 2.5 mm. Expensive equipment requires careful handling. A special stabilizer can protect the machine from voltage surges.
Last piece of advice: you shouldn’t get into the electrical network if you don’t have experience working with them. This is very dangerous not only during connection, but also after, during operation. An experienced electrician can organize the installation of an outlet in a matter of hours and carry out the work professionally.
