Use and Care anual
I PORTA T SAFETY I ST CTIO
WARNING:
1. Bosch dryers are provided with an Use and Care
Manual and an Installation Instruction manual.
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, 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.
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
moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will 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 manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
10. 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, under certain circumstances, when
heated become ignited by spontaneous combustion.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your dryer,
follow basic precautions, including the following.
11. Clean lint screen before or after each load.
12. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust and dirt.
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 cool dry
place according to the manufacturer's instructions in
an area where children cannot reach them.
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 oil, cooking
oil, 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 sit on top of the dryer.
18. 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.
19. The dryer must only be used for its intended
purpose.
20. Always check and empty pockets of any objects that
may have been forgotten. Cigarette lighters, in
particular, present a hazard that can be avoided by
this process.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment=grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you
are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly
grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance -
if it will not fit the outlet have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician or exchange the cord with
an appropriate one rated for the dryer.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
OPERATING TIPS
To save energy, time and money, Bosch recommends
the following:
O
Always spin dry the laundry in the washer at the
highest recommended speed for the fabric type.
The highest spin speed will result in a dryer load and
shorten the drying time and amount of energy
required to dry the load.
O
Spin dry delicate washing before tumble drying.
O
Load the dryer properly. Do not exceed the maximum
load (see CYCLE SELECTION CHART).
• Always clean the lint filter after each use of the dryer.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before beginning to use your dryer for the first
time:
1. Check to make sure that the voltage on
which the dryer is to operate is the same as
shown on the rating plate.
2. Wipe the interior of the drum with a damp cloth.
3. Thoroughly inspect the dryer for cosmetic damage.
• Follow the fabric care labels on the clothing.
• Avoid very small loads. When only one or two items
need drying, add a few similar items to improve
drying efficiency.
• Do not mix heavyweight and lightweight clothing.
• Do not dry wool or fabrics with a wool content
• Do not dry fabrics that do not allow the free passage
of air (for example, GORETEX)
• Do not dry delicate fabrics such as, silk, synthetic net
curtains, etc.
