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
duc[, attic, crawl space, or any
other ductwork used for
venting.
7. DO NOT install a flexible duc[
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 main[ain maximum drying
efficiency, it is recommended that
the dryer is vented 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 exis[ing
exhaust air system, the following
connection options are possible for
the exhaust air outlet:
- on right side of [he appliance,
- on the underside of the
appliance,
9
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.
More than two 90 ° turns are not
recommended. For best
performance, separate all turns by
at least 4 ft. of straight duct,
including distance belween last turn
and exhaust hood,

Special exhaust air connections
must be obtained from your dealer
or part supplier for either
connection type (see page 1t).
Side exhaust kit
Bottom exhaust kit
A qualified technician should
change the exhaust air outlet to the
optional connection location.
Ductwork
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 exisling
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.
Numberof Rigid Duct FlexibleDuct
90°Turns
or Elbows
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
outlel must be a minimum of
t2 inches (30 cm) above ground
level or any other obslructing
surface.
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
ducling which is longer than
recommended may extend drying
Iime, cause lint to accumulate and
affecl 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
ducl with this dryer.

vapors, such as gasoline, away
from the dryer.
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

Items containing foam, rubber or
plastic must be dried on
a clothes-line or by using an
air fluff-cycle.
Do not allow items containing
flammable materials, such as
lighters, to remain in clothes
while drying,
Failure to follow these
instructions may result in
explosion or fire,
To avoid risk of death or in-
jury!
Using the dryer
Do not leave children unsupervised
near the dryer,
Keep pets away from the dryer,
Before closing the door, check the
contents of the drum.
Remove all objects from pockets.
Lighters are particularly hazardous.
Risk of explosion!
Switch off the dryer at the end of
the program.
Protecting the dryer
Do not climb on the dryer.

Risk of dryer tipping over!
Do not store or use solvent
detergent boosters or stain remover
in the vicinity of the dryer.

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 recomrnended
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,
Use the dryer only in the house or
the garage [or drying normal
amounts of laundry for the

Drying tips
tn 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 overdryeasy-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,
17
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 19).

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.
O ations
Indicator of program
sequence
The dryer uses an electronic
scanning syslem for all programs
excepl the time programs,
A moisture sensor continuously
checks the moisture in lhe laundry.
Drying ends automatically as soon
as the selected degree of dryness
has been reached.
The drum continues Io rotate at
specific intervals for one hour Io
prevent creasing.
The current degree of drying and
Ihe level reached during Ihe
program sequence is indicated
via indicator lights (drying, damp
dry, regular dry, wrinkle
blocWfinished),
4Omin Airfl_
Permanent Press
The program sequence of
automatic programs is controlled
via sensors. The duration of the
program depends on the measured

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 }et, 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.
3. Remove the lint filter.
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.
The moisture sensor has to be
cleaned because a fine layer of
transparent buildup is deposited
on the sensors.
This deposit can easily be removed
by wiping the sensors (the two 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
Cleaning the lint filter
A dirty filter extends the drying time
and increases energy consumption,
The filter should be cleaned bdore
and after each drying process,
however at the latest when the "lint
