A Guide to Bosch Washing Machine Manuals

Bosch categorizes its machines by “Series, we’ve listed out the most popular ranges in the UK and provided handy links to downloadable user manuals or PDFs. We also have a handy specific error code page in our troubleshooting section.

To get the 100% correct manual, don’t just search “Bosch Series 6.” Instead:

  1. Open the washing machine door.
  2. Look for a sticker on the inside of the door or the door frame.
  3. Find the E-Nr (e.g., WAU28P80GB/01).
  4. Enter this exact code into the Bosch UK Instruction Manual Search.

Common Tip: If your machine is beeping, check for a “Child Lock” symbol (a key or “CL”). On Bosch, this is usually cleared by holding the Finished In and Spin Speed buttons together for 3 seconds. On Miele, it’s often a specific sequence in the “Settings” menu found in the manual.


Bosch Series 4 (WAN Range)

These are the UK’s most popular mid-range machines. Searches often focus on the WAN28281GB and WAN28259GB.


Bosch Series 6 (WGG Range)

Popular for families. The WGG2440XGB is a high-volume search term due to its “i-DOS” (automatic dosing) system which requires specific setup instructions.


Most Searched Legacy Manuals

Because Bosch machines often last 10–15 years, there is a high volume of searches for “discontinued” models that owners are trying to maintain.

  • Classixx 6 & 7: Perhaps the most searched-for legacy manuals in the UK. These were standard in many rental properties and older homes.
  • Exxcel 7 & 8: Common searches for users looking to replace carbon brushes or fix motor issues.
  • Logixx 8: Often searched to find the reset sequence for the “sensitive” electronic displays.
  • Maxx 6 & 7: Heavily searched for instructions on cleaning the pump filter (located behind the bottom right flap).
