Electric Clothes Dryers

Features and Benefits of Your New Dryer

ActiveDry TM Technology Moisture and temperature levels are constantly monitored to

ensure precise drying results for a wide array of fabrics. Everything from T shirts to baby blankets comes out warm

and soft every time. Constant monitoring ensures the lowest energy usage

possible, cutting consumption by up to 50% per year.

EcoSmart TI_4 EcoSmart Tt_4 technology utilizes a network of sensors in the

Bosch Vision dryer for cycles that conserve the most energy possible while maintaining superior drying performance. By

adjusting to how wet the load is and regulating temperature to never over heat, it is no wonder that Bosch offers some of the most efficient dryers in the market.

EcoAction TM This option gives you the ability to reduce energy usage by

up to 10%. By selecting this option, temperature is reduced to save resources while the cycle time is slightly extended to ensure proper drying.

DynamicAir TI_4 The Bosch Vision DynamicAir TM system features gentle heat

and high air volume inthe most gentle dryer drum. Only Bosch Vision can offer a one-piece dryer drum with a backshield full of holes to properly distribute air over your laundry, giving you the most gentle and effective drying possible.

Wrinkle Block® Sometimes you can't get your laundry right when the buzzer

rings. Wrinkle Block® gives you one hour of intermittent tumbling, preventing creases from setting in and, ultimately, reducing ironing time.

Stainless Steel Drum Bosch dryers feature smooth, stainless steel drums for the

gentlest of care.

160 ° Door Hinge The dryer door opens up to 160° - making it easier to load

and unload laundry. Washer and dryer doors also open in opposite directions, so when set up side by side, transferring your damp laundry to the dryer becomes an

effortless task.

Quiet Performance Bosch laundry appliances use brushless motors,

suspended pump systems, and special sound-deadening material to keep them exceptionally quiet while in operation. Quiet operation means they can be installed virtually anywhere in the home without causing a disturbance.

Dryer Rack The dryer rack protects the most delicate fabrics or a pair of

tennis shoes, allowing either to drywithout tumbling. It is standard on the Premium model and is available as an

accessory on all models.

Lint Filter The dryer lint filter is conveniently located in the appliance

housing below the dryer door for easy access. The lint filter's fine mesh filter captures even the smallest lint particles. And to increase drying efficiency, there's also a lint filter LED on the control panel that illuminates should the filter need immediate cleaning.

Steam Cycles Steam Cycles offered on select models utilize added

moisture to help relax fabric, ease wrinkling, and freshen cotton blend laundry items to reduce odor.

Minimum Distances

Important information concerning minimum distances:

Depending on the location of the exhaust air connection, an additional minimum distance of

51/2inch (14 cm) must be provided on this side, the side the connection is on, for

ducts/brackets (see page 19). Benefits of maintaining greater

distance (clearances) than the minimum shown include:

• more air cools the dryer, keeps the dryer from overheating, and

improves drying performance.

• reduction of the risk of mold

formation behind the appliance.

• reduced noise transmission

• facilitation of installation and

service.

If the dryer is installed in a small room, the doors of the room must

be fitted with vents of the specified minimum size. Refer to the

following illustrations of enclosed

licensed electrician only. Connect to individual branch

circuit. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Do not remove ground prong.

Your dryer comes without a power supply cord. The power cord must meet the following requirements:

UL listed in the USA 208 - 240 volt rated (minimum) 30 amps

Type SRDT or DRT (UL 2158)

Five feet long (minimum)

Additional grounding procedure

Some local regulations may require a separate ground. In such

cases, the required accessory ground wire, clamp and screw

must be purchased separately. Contact your local dealer or

customer service for additional details (see page 32).

Never ground the dryer to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or water

pipes.

Grounding instruction

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for the electric current.

10. Attach the right angle connector on the water supply hose to the inlet valve located at the top left of the dryer.

D Check to see that the rubber

washer does not fall out, and is properly seated in the right angle

connector.

11. Hand tighten the coupling until it is seated on the connector. Do

not use pliers, hand tighten only.

D Do not overtighten. Damage to

the coupling could result.

12. Turn on the water faucet.

13. Check for leaks around the "Y" connector, faucet and all hoses.

Power cord must be connected by a qualified technician or a

licensed electrician only. Use only a U.L. approved 30 amp power cord with strain relief clamp -

note manufacturer's instructions. Do not reuse old power cord.

Cord must have closed loop or upturned end wire terminating

connectors. Do not make a sharp bend or

crimp wiring/conductor at connections.

Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home, in a recreational vehicle, in a new

branch circuit installation or an area where the local codes do

not permit grounding through

the neutral.

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 18).

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 NOT use a duct smaller than 4 inches (101.6mm) 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 in an 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.

Alternative exhaust duct connection options are illustrated below. Select

one of these options to make best use of the space available or an existing exhaust ductwork system.

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 19).

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:

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

isthe responsibility of the

consumer.

D 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 18 is not permitted. Not adhering to this table will extend drying time, cause lint to accumulate and affect dryer performance and life-time.

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 18.) Use the minimum number of

elbows needed when installing the exhaust duct system. Avoid placing two 90 degree elbows adjacent to one another.

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

flexible metal duct is shown in the table

below. If using flexible metal ducting to connect the appliance to the ductwork system, the total length of flexible

metal duct used shall not exceed 2.4 m and can only be used to connect the

dryer to the ductwork system. As the table below shows, the maximum

overall ductwork length is reduced if flexible ducting is used.

Note: Side and bottom exhaust installations

have a 90°turn inside the dryer. Take this into account when using the table

above. The use of more than two 90° turns are

not recommended. For best

performance, separate all turns by at

least 4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last turn and exhaust

hood.

Keep exhaust ductwork as short and as straight as practical. This will

increase air flow and result in shorter drying times.

_ii/iiidiiii

Do not allow exhaust ductwork to be crushed or otherwise constricted. Constricted ductwork will reduce

airflow and result in longer drying times. Constricted ductwork could reduce

exhaust airflow enough to cause an error condition, halting the dryer cycle.

Check to be sure the exhaust duct is not crushed or constricted.

Exhaustventhood

The exhaust duct must end with an

approved exhaust vent hood with swing out damper(s). DO NOT use an exhaust vent hood with magnetic

latches.

To avoid exhaust restriction, the outlet

must be a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) above ground level or any other obstructing surface.

Good

Better

i \

Do not allow exhaust ductwork to be longer than necessary. Longer

ductwork will reduce airflow and will result in longer drying times.

Required Ductwork Parts

The parts required for the exhaust air

system (elbows, lines, exhaust air outlets) are not included in standard delivery of the dryer (see the

Accessories section for information on

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 washer spin speeds reduce residual moisture and decrease

drying time and energy consumption.

Use optimum load! Use larger loads, up to the maximum recommended loads for

the cycle and laundry type. However, do not exceed maximum recommended load

capacity. Clean the lint filter!

Check the lint filter before using the dryer each time and clean the

filter as needed. Making sure the lint filter is clean before beginning

each drying load results in improved airflow and reduced

drying time. (see page 27). Ventilate the room!

Provide an adequate supply of fresh air during the drying

process. Do not dry unsuitable materials!

Do not dry rubberized or air-tight items.

Temporary disconnection of

the dryer

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you plan to go on vacation

or are not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:

1. Turn off the circuit breaker.

2. Unplug the power supply plug if possible.

3. Clean the lint filter.

4. Turn off the water supply (applies only to Steam dryers).

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 the 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 cycle selected.

Fasten zippers, hooks and eyes, loose belts, apron strings, etc.

Do not overdry easy-care laundry

to reduce the risk of wrinkling!

Hang laundry up promptly 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. Knit textiles (e.g. T-shirts,

sweatshirts, and other similar

types of laundry) often shrink when

dried for the first time. Do not use the "Very dry/Extra dry" cycles the first time you dry these types of

laundry to reduce potential

shrinkage.

Some items such as these can also shrink during later laundering.

Use caution in cycle selection to avoid shrinkage.

Clean and inspect the exhaust system on a regular basis!

Blockages may extend drying time or may cause the dryer to

malfunction.
