Tips on saving energy To save energy, money and time,

Bosch recommends the following:

Drain the laundry thoroughly! Before drying, spin the laundry

thoroughly in the washing

machine. Use the highest possible spin speed for the type

of laundry! Higher spin speeds

reduce the drying time and the

energy consumption.

Use optimum load! Use maximum recommended

loads. However, do not exceed loads.

Clean filter! Clean the filter before and after

each drying process

(see page 23).

Ventilate the room!

During the drying process provide an adequate supply

of fresh air.

Do not dry unsuitable materials!

Do not dry rubberized or

air tight items.

Do clean and inspect the

exhaust system on a regular

basis! Blockages may extend drying

time.

dryer for first time

Before you use the dryer for the first time:

1. Read these operating instructions carefully.

2. Check that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage specifications on the rating plate of the dryer, see picture page 25

3. Check that the gas type corresponds with specifications

on the rating plate of the dryer, see picture page 25.

4. Have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not

exceed 14 in. WC/3.49 kPa /

0.506 psig (Natural and Propane Gas).

5. Remove atI objects from the drum.

6. Check the dryer for visible damage. If damages found contact your dealer.

7. Wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth.

8. Conduct an appliance test see page 12.

9. If the dryer does not work, switch the dryer to "OFF". Look in the troubleshooting section (page 24) of the operating instructions and find

the fault.

disconnection of the dryer

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you intend going on vacation or are not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you

should:

1. Turn off the circuit breaker.

2. Close the shut off valve.

3. Pull out the power supply plug if possible.

4. Clean the tint filter.

Identification of fabrics

Observe the treatment symbols on

the textile labels. They provide

valuable information as well as limitations about the drying

process. Do not dry the following textiles in

the dryer:

Air tight textiles

(e.g. rubberized) Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic

curtains)

E] E]

Dry woolen or wool rich textiles

with dryer rack only!

Use the time program "Air fluff"

to dry articles containing foam

rubber or similarly textured rubber like materials.

Drying tips

In principle, the following applies to all drying programs:

To ensure a uniform drying

result, sort the laundry

according to fabric type and

drying program. Fasten zippers, hooks and

eyes. Fasten loose belts, apron strings, etc..

Do not overdry easy care laundry risk of wrinkling! Leave laundry to dry in the air.

Do not iron laundry immediately

after drying. Place the laundry

in a pile for a short while. Residual moisture will then be

distributed uniformly. Knitted textiles (e.g. T-shirts,

cotton jersey laundry) often

shrink when dried for the first

time. Do not use the "Very

dry/Extra dry" program.

Program

For optimum drying results your dryer offers several program groups and additional options.

Select the required drying program from the program table according

to the examples (see page 19).

Automatic programs

There are automatic programs for different types of textiles. (Regular/Cotton or permanent press).

The program sequence of automatic programs is controlled

via sensors. The duration of the program depends on the measured

degree of moisture in the laundry and on the selected degree of

dryness (e.g. damp dry or extra dry).

Time programs

Time programs run for a specific time (20, 40, 60 minutes).

In the "Air fluff" stage the dryer runs

on ambient air without a heat supply for 20 minutes.

Cleaning

Cleaning the dryer

TO AVOID RISK OF EXPLOSION!

Never use solvents or highly flammable liquids for cleaning.

Incorrect cleaning may damage the dryer. Do not spray with a water jet. Do not use scouring agents or all purpose cleaners.

Do not use steam cleaners.

Wipe the housing and fascia with a soft cloth and soapy water only.

Wipe the drum, door seat and inside of the door with a damp cloth only.

Cleaning the lint filter

A dirty filter extends the drying time and increases energy consumption.

The filter should be cleaned before and after each drying process,

however at the latest when the "tint filter" indicator light illuminates.

If the "tint filter" indicator light illuminates during a drying program and a warning signal is emitted, clean the filter immediately and

check the exhaust duct.

[_The program interrupts

automatically.

1. Switch off the dryer. Program selector to "Off".

The inside of the door heats up during the drying process.

2. Open the door.

3. Remove the lint filter,
