Exhaust air connection

The following warnings must be adhered to without exception.

1. To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED

OUTDOORS.

2. To reduce the risk of fire, do not use ductwork longer than

recommended. Refer to the maximum ductwork length table (see page 14).

3. DO NOT use a plastic, metal foil, or any other non-metal duct with

this dryer. Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for

exhausting. Metal foil and flexible metal ducting are NOT the same.

4. DO NOT use more than 2.4 m of flexible metal ducting.

5. DO use a duct that is 4 inches (102 mm)in diameter.

6. DO NOT exhaust the dryer into: a chimney, wall, ceiling, concealed

space of a building, furnace cold air duct, attic, crawl space, or any

other ductwork used for venting.

7. DO NOT install a flexible duct inan 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 with an approved exhaust vent

hood to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.

11. DO NOT use exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.

12. DO NOT assemble the duct work with screws or fasteners that

extend into the duct. They serve as an accumulation point for lint.

Joints should be secured with aluminum tape.

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 the underside of the appliance.

1 - Exhaustairoutletontherearofthe

appliance(standard)

2 - Exhaustair outletonthe side(optional) 3 - Exhaustair outletonthe undersideof

the appliance(optional)

Special exhaust air connections can be obtained from your dealer, part supplier or customer service for either

connection type (see page 15).

- Side exhaust kit

- Bottom exhaust kit A qualified technician should change

the exhaust air outlet to the optional connection location.

Ductwork

The dryer vent system moves moist air away as your clothes tumble dry. You can shorten drying times, save energy and help ensure the safety of the system by making sure your dryer's exhaust duct system is properly

installed and maintained.

Important Points to Consider:

Keep exhaust duct runs (total length of the exhaust duct system

from the dryer to the exhaust hood

outside) as short as possible (refer

to the table "Maximum Ductwork

Length" on page 14.)

Use the minimum number of elbows needed when installing the

exhaust duct system. Avoid placing two 90 degree elbows adjacent to one another.

Check and clean the exhaust duct system and exhaust hood at least

once each year, and any time you suspect dryer performance is

decreased. Remove accumulated lint to

prevent diminished air flow or clogging of the system. Professional cleaning is recommended annually and when

attaching your dryer to a previously

used exhaust duct system.

Replace any plastic or metal foil venting sections with rigid metal or flexible metal ducting. Rigid metal

ducting is recommended.

Correct exhaust system installation

is the responsibility of the

consumer.

Problems that result from

incorrect installation are not

covered by the appliance warranty.

Exhaust ducting which is longer than specified in the maximum ductwork length table on page 14 is not permitted. Not adhering to this table will extend drying time, cause lint to accumulate and affect dryer performance and dryer life-time.

i|n

i! _i ii__i_iiii I

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

rigid duct and for rigid duct used with

Additional Safety

Information

Always follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(see page 4).

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 22).

- 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.

Clean and inspect the exhaust system on a regular basis!

Blockages may extend drying time or may cause the dryer to

malfunction.

Temporary disconnection of

the dryer

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you 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.

4. Turn off the water supply.

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)

Dry woolen or wool-rich textiles with dryer rack only!

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.

LED Indicators 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 lights (Drying, Damp dry, Regular dry,
