IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons and /or damage when
using your dryer, follow basic
precautions, including the
following.
1. Read all instructions before
using the dryer. Bosch dryers
are provided with Operating,
Care and Installation
Instructions.
2. Do not dry articles that have
been previously cleaned,
washed, soaked, or spotted
with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or
explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on
or in the appliance at any time;
severe injury or death could
result. Children should be kept
a safe distance away from
appliances at all times. Children
should only be permitted within
an appliance's vicinity if under
close, constant adult
supervision.
4. When children become old
enough to operate the
appliance, it is the legal
responsibility of the parents or
legal guardians to ensure that
they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.
5. Before the appliance is
