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
1. To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer
MUST BE EXHAUSTED
OUTDOORS.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, do not
use the ductwork longer than
recommended.
3. DO NOT use a plastic or
non-metal duct with this dryer.
4. DO NOT use a duct smaller than 4
inches in diameter.
5. DO NOT use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
6. DO NOT exhaust the dryer into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct,
attic, crawl space, or any other
ductwork used for venting.
7. DO NOT install a flexible duct in an
enclosed wall, ceiling or floor.
8. DO NOT crush or kink the duct.
9. Do clean and inspect the exhaust
system on a regular basis; at least
once a year.
10. The exhaust duct must terminate
in a manner to prevent back drafts
or entry of birds or other wildlife.
The Bosch dryers are intended to be
vented outdoors. To prevent build up
of moisture and accumulation of lint
indoors, as well as to maintain
maximum drying efficiency, it is
recommended that the dryer isvented
outdoors.
Exhaust air outlet on the dryer
The dryer is delivered with an exhaust
air outlet on the rear of the appliance.
To take account of the spatial
requirements and an existing exhaust
air system, the following connection
options are possible for the exhaust air
outlet:
- on right side of the appliance,
- on the underside of the appliance.

Special exhaust air connections must
be obtained from your dealer or part
supplier for either connection type (see
page 8).
- Side exhaust kit
- Bottom exhaust kit
A qualified technician should change
the exhaust air outlet to the optional
connection location.
Ductwork
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 airflow restrictions as possible.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
recommended may extend drying time,
cause lint to accumulate and affect
dryer performance and dryer life-time.
Fourqnch (approx. 100 mm) diameter
ducting should be used. Use either
rigid metal or flexible metal ducting
material.
DO NOT use plastic or non-metal duct
with this dryer.
DO NOT assemble the ductwork with
screws or fasteners that extend into the
duct. They will serve as an
accumulation point for lint.
Joints should be secured with
aluminum tape.
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
The male end of each duct section
must point away from the dryer.
Whether connecting to an existing
venting system or a new venting
system, make sure that all ducting is
clean and free of lint.
The maximum permitted length for both
rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in
the table below.

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.

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 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 18).
- 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 20
3. Remove all objects from the drum.
4. Check the dryer for visible
damage. If damages found
contact your dealer.
5. Wipe the inside of the drum with a
damp cloth.
6. Conduct an appliance test, see
page 9.
7. If the dryer does not work, switch
the dryer to "Off".
Look in the troubleshooting
section (page 19) 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. Pull out the power supply plug if
possible.
3. 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 inthe
dryer:
- Air4ight textiles (e.g. rubberized)
w
Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic
curtains)
rq
Dry woolen or wool-rich textiles
with dryer rack only[
rq
Use the time program "Air fluff" to
dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubberqike
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.
13
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 15).

Indicator of program
sequence
The dryer uses an electronic scanning
system for all programs except the time
programs. A moisture sensor
continuously checks the moisture in the
laundry. Drying ends automatically as
soon as the selected degree of dryness
has been reached.
The drum continues to rotate at
specific intervals for one hour to
prevent creasing.
The current degree of drying and the
level reached during the program
sequence is indicated via indicator

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.
Ifan acoustic warning signal is emitted
and the drying indicator light (LED) is
blinking 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
Disconnect the duct from the
dryer.
Vacuum and reconnect the duct.
Cleaning the moisture
sensor
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.
3. Remove the lint filter.
18
The moisture sensor has to be cleaned
because a fine layer of transparent
buildup is deposited on the sensors.
