I PO TANT SAFETY I STRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons and/or damage when
using your dryer, follow basic
precautions, including the
following.
1. Read all instructions before
using the dryer. Bosch dryers
are provided with Operating,
Care and Installation
Instructions.
2. Do not dry articles that have
been previously cleaned,
washed, soaked, or spotted
with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or
explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on
or in the appliance at any time;
severe injury or death could
result. Children should be kept
a safe distance away from
appliances at all times. Children
should only be permitted within
an appliance's vicinity if under
close, constant adult
supervision.
4. When children become old
enough to operate the
appliance, it is the responsibility
of the parents or guardians to
ensure that they are instructed
in safe practices by qualified
persons.
5. Do not allow children's toys, or
other items that might
encourage children to climb on
the dryer, to be stored on or in
the dryer or on shelves or in
cabinets or other storage areas
adjacent to the dryer.
6. Do not allow anyone to climb,
lean orhang on any part of the
dryer including any protruding
components such as the
appliance door or a pullout
shelf.
7. To reduce the risk of fire,
clothes, cleaning rags, mop
heads and the like which have
traces of any flammable
substance, such as vergetable
oil, cooking oils or distillates,
waxes, fats, etc., must not be
placed in the dryer. These items
may contain some flammable
substance(s) even after
washing, which may smoke or
catch fire by themselves.
8. Keep pets away from dryer.
9. BEFORE THE APPLIANCE IS
REMOVED FROM SERVICE OR
DISCARDED, REMOVE THE
DOOR TO THE DRYING
COMPARTMENT.
10.
Do not reach into the appliance
if the drum is rotating.
11.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather or
the elements, such as
water/moisture, dirt,
corrosive/salt air, and excessive
cold.
Do not tamper with the
controls.
Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any service unless specifically
recommended in the user-
maintenance instructions or in
published user repair instruc-
tions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
14.
Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the
fabric manufacturer.
15.
Do not use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber (may be
labeled latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber-like materials.
Foam rubber materials can
ignite by spontaneous
combustion.
16. Clean lint screen before or after
each load. Excess lint buildup
can damage the dryer and
create a potential fire hazard.
17. The interior of the machine
should be cleaned periodically
by qualified service personnel.
18. Removing any panel or cover,
including the light cover, may
expose live electrical circuits.
Always be sure to unplug the
dryer from the electrical supply
before attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
19. Store all laundry chemicals and
aids in a cool dry place
according to the manufac-
turer's instructions in an area
where children cannot reach
them. Gasoline, combustible
materials and flammable
vapors, liquids, and substances
that pose a fire hazard must not
be stored near the dryer.
20. Do not place items exposed to
cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause
a load to catch fire.
21. Do not sit on the top of the
dryer.
22. To reduce the risk of fire and
electrical shock hazards, do not
use the dryer if the power cord
is frayed or damaged, or if the
plugs are loose.
23. The dryer must only be used
for its intended purpose.
24. Use the integrated socket only
for listed appliances.
25. Always check pockets and
remove any objects. Cigarette
4
lighters are particularly
hazardous.
26. Replace worn out power cords
and/or loose plugs.
27. Do not operate the dryer if any
guards and/or panels have
been removed.
28. Do not operate the dryer if any
parts are missing or broken.
29. Do not operate this dryer until
you are sure that the dryer
has been installed according
to the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS and that
installation and grounding are
in compliance with all local
regulations and!or other
applicable regulations and
requirements.
30. Failure to install, maintain
and/or operate the dryer
according to the manufac-
turer's instructions may result
in injury and/or damage.
31. To avoid floor damage and
mold growth, do not let spills
or splashout to cause standing
water around or under the
appliance.
32. Do not dry articles containing
spunbonded olefin.
Spunbonded olefin can melt
and can ignite by spontaneous
combustion.
33. To avoid fire hazards, do not
use an extension cord, an
adapter, or any other non
manufacturer supplied
electrical connector or cord,
to connect the dryer to the
electrical supply. Dryers are
powerful machines, and must
have dedicated electrical
outlets.
34. Do not bypass any safety
devices.
35. Check the fill hose connections
on a regular basis to ensure
that they are tight and not
leaking.
