Safety information
Always follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(see page 3).
TO AVOID
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Keep flammable materials and 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 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 injury!
Use the dryer only in the house or the 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
dryer
Install the dryer in accordance with the
installation instructions (from page 5).

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 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.
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 21
3. Check that the gas type corresponds with specifications on
the rating plate of the dryer, see
picture page 21.
4. Have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed
14 in. WC/3.49 kPa/0.506 psig (Natural and Propane 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 20) 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)
14
IT_ Dry woolen or wool-rich textiles
with dryer rack only!
IT_ use the time program "Air fluff/No
heat" to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like 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.
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 16).
Automatic programs
There are automatic programs for different types of textiles.
(Regular/Cotton or 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.
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.
Cleaning the moisture sensor
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
Over time, fluff from the drying process collects in the bearing shield,
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.
If a warning signal and an E01 warning message are emitted during a drying program, clean the filter immediately
and check the exhaust duct.
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.
This fluff can be easily removed using your vacuum cleaner, at least once a
month.
