m PO SAFETY INSTR
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 with the appliance. Close
supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance
is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is
removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to
the drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance
if the drum is rotating.
6. Do not install or store this
appliance where it wilt be
exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with the
controls.
8. 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
instructions that you
understand and have the skills
to carry out.
9. Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the
fabric manufacturer.
10o 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.
11. Clean lint screen before or after
each toad.
12. Keep area around the exhaust
opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of tint, dust and
dirt. An obstructed port might
reduce the airflow.
13. The interior of the machine and
exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
14. 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.
15. Store all laundry chemicals and
aids in a coot dry place
according to the manufac-
turer's instructions in an area
where children cannot reach
them.
NS
16. To reduce the risk of fire,
clothes, cleaning rags, mop
heads and the like which have
traces of any flammable
substance, such as vegetable
oit, cooking oit, petroleum
based 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 itself.
17. 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
toad to catch fire.
18. Do not sit on top of the dryer.
19. To reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock, DO NOT use
an extension cord or an
adapter to connect the dryer to
the electrical power supply.
20. The dryer must only be used for
its intended purpose.
21. Always check pockets and
remove any objects. Cigarette
lighters are particularly
hazardous,
22. Replace worn out power cords
and/or loose plugs,

Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current.
For Canada the dryer comes with a
cord which has an equipment
grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet
which has been properly installed
and grounded in accordance with
all local regulations and ordinances.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock.
Have the appliance checked by
a qualified electrician or service
technician if you are in doubt as
to whether the dryer has been
properly grounded.
Exhaust air connection
