The installation room must be well
ventilated, otherwise the dryer will
operate below optimum performance.
Do not operate the dryer at
temperatures above 104 °F (40 °C) and
below 41 °F (5 °C). Low temperatures
affect the automatic program sequence
and may prolong the drying times.
The installation surface for the dryer
must be clean, level and firm. Do not

depends on the dimensions of the
dryer. Ensure that there is adequate
room for the swivel range of the door!
If installed in a garage, the dryer
must be installed on a substantial
platform at least 18 inches above
the floor to reduce the liklihood of
igniting flammable vapors and be
located or protected so it cannot be
damaged by a moving vehicle

To ensure optimum performance, the
ducting system of the dryer should be
as short as possible with a minimum
number of elbows. Your dryer will work
best when the venting system has as
few air flow restrictions as possible.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
recommended may extend drying time,
Note:
Side and bottom exhaust installations
have a 90°turn inside the dryer. To
determine maximum exhaust length,
add one 90°turn to the chart.
More than two 90 ° turns are not
recommended. For best performance,
separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance
between last turn and exhaust hood.
Good

Exhaust vent hood
The exhaust duct must end with an
approved exhaust vent hood with
swing out damper(s). DO NOT use an
exhaust vent hood with magnetic
latches.
To avoid exhaust restriction, the outlet
must be a minimum of 12 inches (30
cm) above ground levelor any other
obstructing surface.

Do not dry anything that has ever
had anything flammable on it
(even after washing).
Do not dry anything that has ever
had any type of oil on it (including
cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber or
plastic must be dried on
a clothes-line or by using an
Air fluff/No heat-cycle.
Do not allow items containing
flammable materials, such as
lighters, to remain in clothes while
drying.
Faiiure to foilow these
instructions may result in
explosion or fire.
To avoid risk of death or in-
jury!

garage for drying normal amounts of
laundry for the household.
Use only for drying textiles which were
washed with water.
Never operate the dryer without the
front cover plate in place.
Before switching on the

Risk of breakage!
Protection of the
environment
Tips on saving energy
To save energy, money and time,
Bosch recommends the following:
- Drain the laundry thoroughly!
Before drying, spin the laundry
thoroughly inthe 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 22).
- 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.
Before using the
dryer for the 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 24.
3. Check that the gas type
corresponds with specifications on
the rating plate of the dryer, see
picture page 24.
4. Have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed
14 in. WC/3.49 kPa/0.506 psig
(Natural Gas).
5. Remove all 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 10.
9. Ifthe dryer does not work, switch
the dryer to "Off".
Look in the troubleshooting
section (page 23) of the operating
instructions and find the fault.
Temporary
disconnection of
the dryer
Operate your dryer only when you are
at home. Ifyou 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 lint filter.
Laundry
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)
w
53
53
Dry woolen or wool-rich textiles
with dryer rack only!
Use the time program "Air fluff/No
heat" to dry articles containing
foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like materials.
14
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 selection
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 18).
Automatic programs
There are automatic programs for
different types of textiles
(Regular/Cotton, Permanent Press,

Cleaning and care
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 seal 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.
Ifa warning signal and an E01 warning
message are emitted during a drying
program, clean the filter immediately
and check the exhaust duct.
_i] The program interrupts
automatically.
1. Switch offthe dryer. Program
selector to "Off".
The inside of the door heats up
during the drying process.
2. Open the door.
4. Remove lint by stroking your hand
over the filter.
The filter should be lightly scrubbed
twice a year with warm soapy water.
The filter is cleaned when it no longer
holds water. The filter must be dried
thoroughly before being replaced.
5. Insert the filter.
6. Close the door.
Cleaning the exhaust duct
Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting
at least once a year to prevent
clogging. A partially clogged exhaust
can lengthen the drying time.
Turn off the circuit breaker
Pull out power supply plug.
Close the shut-off valve.
Disconnect the duct from the
dryer.
Vacuum and reconnect the duct.
Remove gas connection before mo-
ving the dryer to clean the duct. Be
careful not to destroy the gas con-
nection when cleaning the duct.
3. Remove the lint filter. Cleaning the moisture
sensor
The moisture sensor has to be cleaned
because a fine layer of transparent
buildup isdeposited on the sensors.
This deposit can easily be removed by
wiping the sensors (thetwo bars next
to the lint filter) with a cloth and a little
white vinegar.
Use white vinegar only!
Clean the moisture sensor once a
month.
Cleaning the bearing
shield
Over time, fluff from the drying process
collects in the bearing shield.
This fluff can be easily removed using
your vacuum cleaner, at least once a
month.
Change the light bulb
The dryer light turns on inside the drum
when you open the door.
To change the light bulb:
Set program selector to "Off".
Turn offthe circuit breaker.
Pull out power supply plug.
Open the door and locate the light
bulb on the upper left side of the
seal.
22
Loosen the screw of the cover and
open the cover.
Turn bulb counterclockwise.
Replace the bulb with a new
appliance bulb only (obtainable
through parts department).
Replace the cover and secure with
the screw.
Plug in dryer or reconnect power
supply.
