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 21
3. Remove allobjects 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.
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. Pullout 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 in the
dryer:
- Air tight textiles (e.g. rubberized)
w
Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic
curtains)
Fq
Dry woolen or wool-rich textiles
with dryer rack only!
Fq
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 inthe 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.
