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 21).

- 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 23.

3. Check that the gas type
corresponds with specifications on

the rating plate of the dryer, see

picture page 23.

4. Have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed

14 in. WC/3.49 kPa/0.506 psig
(Natural Gas).

5. Remove allobjects 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 22) 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 inthe
dryer:

- Air-tight textiles (e.g. rubberized)

w

Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic
curtains)

53

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

53

Use the time program "Air fluff/No
heat" to dry articles containing

foam rubber or similarly textured

rubberqike materials.

14

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 17).

Automatic programs

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.

If awarning signal and an E01 warning
message are emitted 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.

i

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.

5. Insert the filter.

6. Close the door.

Cleaning the exhaust duct

Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting
at least once ayear to prevent
clogging. A partially clogged exhaust
can lengthen the drying time.

Turn off the circuit breaker
Pull out power supply plug.

Close the shut-off valve.
Disconnect the duct from the

dryer.
Vacuum and reconnect the duct.

Remove gas connection before mo-

ving the dryer to clean the duct. Be

careful not to destroy the gas con-
nection when cleaning the duct.

Cleaning the moisture
sensor

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.

This fluff can be easily removed using
your vacuum cleaner, at least once a

month.

Change the light bulb

The dryer light turns on inside the drum

when you open the door.

To change the light bulb:

Set program selector to "Off".

Turn offthe circuit breaker.

Pull out power supply plug.
Open the door and locate the light

bulb on the upper left side of the
seal.

The moisture sensor has to be cleaned
because a fine layer of transparent

buildup isdeposited on the sensors.
