Bosch Series 6 Washing Machine - Clothes Are Too Creased

Hi Guys, I bought a Bosch Series 6 washing machine (front loader, 9 kg). Manual

I always run the machine on "Mixed" program mode as I have mixed load of cottons and synthetic fabrics etc. Mixed program picks up default of : Spin Speed =1000 rpm, Temp = 40 Deg C. Display automatically shows : 4.0kg and 0:46min. So I touch the "Speed Perfect" option and make the time 1:00hr. See the details here of settings. After its done, I always find the clothes are too creased.

I am definitely not overloading the drum and I don't leave the clothes in the drum for a long time (>10mins). I think I am not choosing right spin speed or program or something.

Now my questions are:
1) Does the machine automatically detect the load as 4kg? Why does it always show 4kg even if I have more/less load?
2) Which washing machine program should I use for mixed load and with what speed, temp, duration?

Thank you for your feedback.

  I think I am not choosing right spin speed or program or something.

  Then try some different settings. What do you have to lose!?

  Generally on my Bosch machine, I use the cottons cycle with the fastest spin cycle to get the cloths as dry as I can before they go into the dryer!

  The 4.0kg is telling you that the program you selected is designed for a maximum of 4kg (see page 23 of the manual). Generally the quicker cycles can only handle a smaller load. If you have a big load, you need to turn off the speedperfect setting. The washing machine doesn't weigh your clothes.

  Try lowering the spin speed as 1000 will crease your clothes a bit. Alternatively you could turn on the easy iron feature (page 31) on the program you want, clothes will be a bit wetter though which makes drying a problem - so I usually only do this with button up shirts.

  If you have the time, I generally find 1000 spin OK, and I just shake my clothes up and down a bit before hanging them up to shake the creases out. I normally just wash clothes on cotton setting, 0 degrees. I have a series 8 from 2020.

  Do a slower spin. I do an 800 spin if I want to line dry with minimal creases

    My ass is too lazy to iron and my machine too old to have fancy speed adjustments. What might be some other indicators, like delicate/wool maybe?

      Yeah delicates tends to be a slower spin

        Awesome let me try that for the next wash thanks heaps, have you tried those ball thingy that you throw into a wash, sorry I'm not sure what they're called or if you know what I mean even… They're supposed to tumble with clothes and apparently do wonders to decrease crease?

  Great for towels, not so for everything else, even on the lowest rpm

  I really sucks the moisture out of them and lessens the longevity.

  Change the setting to your liking. Thats why theres a million settings.

  Ultimately you have a choice wethwr you want creases or less water in your clothes.

    Insert articles
    Power

    Beep beep beep
    Remove articles and put on clothes line

    Since when did cleaning shit become so bloody difficult?

      Save time: Ring laundry service.
      Pay bills.
      Done!

  Suggest you use a top loader.
  Then the tears will distract you from the creases.

  Does it have a delicate setting? That would be the one to use.
