Function Description
The Bosch WGG254FESN is a washing machine designed for washing machine-washable fabrics and hand-washwashable wool. It operates with tap water and commercially available detergents and care products. The appliance features an intelligent dosing system that automatically dispenses optimal quantities of liquid detergent and fabric softener based on the selected program and settings. It also includes a continuous automatic load adjustment function that optimizes water consumption and program duration depending on fabric type and load capacity.
