Features and Benefits of Your New Dryer

ActiveDry MTechnology
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'M
EcoSmart TMtechnology utilizes anetwork of sensors inthe Bosch

Vision dryer for cycles that conserve the most energy possible while
maintaining superior drying performance. By adjusting to how wet
the Ioad isand regulating temperature to never over heat, it is no
wonder that Bosch offers some of the most efficient dryers inthe

market.

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

10%. Byselecting this option, temperature is reduced to save
resources while the cycle time isslightly extended to ensure proper
drying.

DynamicAir M
The Bosch Vision DynamicAir TMsystem features gentle heat and

high air volume in the most gentle dryer drum. Only Bosch Vision
can offer a one-piece dryer drum with a backshietd fuli 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 iteasier 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 speciai sound-deadening materiai to keep them
exceptionally quiet while in operation. Quiet operation means they
can be installed virtually anywhere inthe home without causing a

disturbance.

Dryer Rack
The dryer rack protects the most delicate fabrics or apair of tennis

shoes, allowing either to drywithout tumbling. It isstandard on the
Premium model and is available as an accessory on all models.

Lint Filter
The dryer lintfilter isconveniently located in the appliance housing

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

Steam Cycles
Steam Cycles offered onselect models utilize added moisture to

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

that could ignite or explode.
To reduce the risk of fire, clothes,

cleaning rags, mop heads and the
like which have traces of any

flammable substance, such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil,

petroleum-based oils or distillates,
waxes, fats, etc., must not be
placed in the dryer. These items
may contain some flammable
substance(s), even after washing,
which may smoke or catch fire by

themselves.

Do not place items exposed to
cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical

reaction that could cause a
laundry load to catch fire.

3. The dryer must only be used for its
intended purpose.

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 18).
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

installations for additional
information.

Allow additional clearance for

door, wall and window molding

where necessary.

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 17).

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 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

obtained from your dealer, part supplier

or customer service for either
connection type (see page 18).

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

16

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 17.)
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.

Additional Safety

Information

To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons, always

follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

(see page 5).

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.

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 plan to go on vacation

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

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.

Operation

Using the dryer

1. Open the door.

2. Check lint filter.
The filter should be cleaned before

drying each laundry load.
Cleaning the filter reduces the

drying time and saves energy.
(See page 27 for lint filter cleaning

instructions).

D Bleach may cause discoloration of

the dryer's colored surface.
Therefore, it is important to keep
bleach away from the colored
surface of your dryer. If any bleach
spills on the surface, immediately
use a moist paper towel to
thoroughly clean it.

3. Rotate the cycle selector to the
desired drying cycle.

Select the program which
corresponds to the laundry in the

dryer from the cycle selection table
(see page 24).

The dryer light turns on inside the
drum when a cycle is selected.

D The "Start/Pause" indicator light

starts flashing.

.

Place laundry in the empty drum.
Put each piece of laundry into the

machine separately to reduce
clumping together.

For best results, the laundry to be
dried must be sorted according to

type of laundry and desired degree

of drying. For further information,
see page 21.

%

Observe clothing and fabric
manufacturers' laundering

instructions. If drying woolen
clothing and shoes, see the
information on page 28.

%

Ensure that there is only laundry
in the drum. Check that all

items are completely in the
drum and that none are caught
between the door and the dryer
housing or door seal.

6. Close the door.
The "Start/Pause" indicator light

continues flashing.

,

Press the "Start/Pause" button.

The selected cycle begins and the

"Start/Pause" indicator light stops
blinking and stays lit.

%

If the door has not been closed
properly, the dryer will not start.

%

The cycle starts with an acoustic

signal (if set). See page 22 for how

to set the signal for dryers with an

LED display, and page 25 for how

to set and adjust the signal for

dryers with an LCD display.

Cycle Progress LED Indicators
If a standard drying cycle (not a time dry

cycle) has been selected, the indicator
lights indicate the progress of the cycle
sequence. The LED sequence shown

below is for the 500 and 800 Series
dryers. The 300 Series dryer has LED's

for "Drying" and "Wrinkle

BlocWFinished".

LintFilter

%

At the end of the cycle, an
acoustic signal is emitted (ifset)

and the LED "Wrinkle

BlocWFinished" illuminates.

The acoustic signal will continue to

sound intermittently during Wrinkle
Block.

%

When the drying process is

complete (cycle or selected time
ended), the drum rotates at
specific intervals for 1 hour due to

the Wrinkle Block feature.
This prevents the laundry from

creasing. The laundry remains
loose and fluffy until it is removed.

The laundry should be removed

before this time has elapsed.

8. Open the door.

9. Take the laundry out of the dryer.

4. If required, select an available
option ("Delicates" or "ECO

Action") by pressing the
corresponding button (see figure

above).
The effect of each option button is

explained on page 89.

D The estimated remaining time will

be displayed.

26

10. Rotate the program selector
to "Off".

The dryer light goes out.

11. Clean the filter.
The filter should be cleaned after
each drying process. Cleaning the
filter reduces the drying time and
saves energy.

12. Close the door.

Cleaning the lint filter

A dirty filter extends the drying time and

increases energy consumption.

The filter should be cleaned before
each laundry load.

If a warning signal and a "CLn" or
"E:I 2" warning message are emitted

durinc a drying program, clean the filter

immediately and check the exhaust

duct.
D The program interrupts

automatically.

Do not rinse or wash the screen to
remove lint. Wet lint is harder to

remove. Roll the dry lint off with your

fingers. You can moisten your fingers

lightly for better results.

To clean the lint filter follow these steps:

1. Switch off the dryer by turning the
program selector to "Off".

4. Remove lint by stroking your hand
over the filter.

5. Insert the filter.

6. Close the door.

D Do not operate the dryer

without the lint filter in place!

Removing Residue Buildup
Laundry detergent and fabric softener

can build up on the lint filter screen.

This buildup can cause longer drying
times. Use of dryer sheets is not

recommended. If you choose to use
dryer sheets, please clean the lint filter
periodically to remove residue.

D If lint falls off the screen while it is in

the dryer, residue buildup probably

needs to be removed.

The filter should be lightly scrubbed at

least twice a year with warm soapy
water. A filter with residue buildup will

tend to hold water even though the

mesh is lint free. The filter is clean
when it no longer holds water. The

filter must be dried thoroughly before

being inserted back into the dryer.

To remove residue, follow these steps:

1. Clean all lint from the lint filter.

2. Wet both sides of the filter mesh
with hot water.

3. Wet a soft nylon brush with hot
water and liquid detergent.

4. Lightly scrub the lint screen with
the brush to remove residue

buildup. Be careful not to damage

the screen.

5. Rinse the screen with hot water.

6. Thoroughly dry the lint screen with
a clean towel.

The inside of the door heats up
during the drying process. Avoid
touching any heated surface until it

has time to cool.

2. Open the door.

3. Remove the lint filter.

7. Replace the lint filter back into the

dryer.

D Do not operate the dryer

without the lint filter in place!

27

Using the dryer rack

(Option, see page 18)

Use the dryer rack to dry washable

woolen textiles (e.g. sweaters) and
shoes. The dryer rack remains

stationary while the drum rotates.

Damp wool should not be tumbled dry
in the drum, as it has a tendency to
matt and shrink. Drying shoes without a
rack could damage the drum.

D The dryer rack must be used for

drying with the wool cycle. If the
rack is not used, the sensor will

shut the dryer off after
approximately 3 minutes and the
display will show ....

Dry only one item of clothing or one
pair of shoes - maximum dry load

2.2 Ibs (1 kg)! The laundry must

have been spun! Only dry
prewashed shoes! The laundry must

not touch the drum! It could jam and
be damaged. After using the dryer

rack, take it out of the dryer
immediately.

Inserting the dryer rack

1. Open the dryer door.

2. Check that the drum is empty.

4. With the forward ends engaged in
the holes, lower the back of the

rack so that it sits in place, braced
against the inner surface of the

dryer housing.

Drying laundry items on the dryer

rack

,

Fold your laundry so it fits on the
dryer rack.

2.

Laundry items should be placed
so they lay loosely on the dryer

rack. Do not stack laundry so that
it is compressed on the rack. Do

not allow the laundry items to

touch the drum. Laundry items

must only touch the rack and
should not hang over the edges of

the rack.

,

Close the door, making sure no
laundry is caught between the
door and the housing or door seal.

,

For wool items, select the Wool
cycle, ifavailable. For other items,

select one of the time cycles.
Select the drying time according to

the laundry type.

Drying shoes on the dryer rack:

1. Prepare shoes.
Clean shoes to prevent the drum

from becoming soiled.
If preparing sports shoes for

drying, extend the tongue.
Loosen or remove shoe-laces.

Remove insoles and heel pads.

2. Place shoes on the rack.
Directly on the dryer rack

or

Roll up a towel and place the
heels of the shoes on the towel.

This will ensure a more uniform
drying result.

3. Close the door.

4. Press the "Start/Pause" button.

The "Start/Pause" indicator light

illuminates.

5. If the shoes still contain residual

moisture after the indicated drying

time:

Reorient the shoes on the drying
rack.

Restart the program and reduce
the drying duration depending

on the degree of residual
moisture.

6. After drying air the shoes at room

temperature for approximately
30 minutes.

7. Take the dryer rack out of the

drum.

3. Hold the dryer rack by the center
section as shown below and insert

it horizontally all the way into the
drum. Then bring it back towards

the front and align the forward
ends with the two holes beside the

lint filter.

28

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 pressure
washer. Do not use scouring agents
or all-purpose cleaners. Do not use

steam cleaners.

Wipe the housing and the control panel
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 exhaust duct

Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting

at least once a year to prevent
clogging. A partially clogged exhaust

will lengthen the drying time and will

result in poor performance of the dryer.

Turn off the circuit breaker
Unplug the dryer from the power

supply.
Disconnect the duct from the

dryer.
Vacuum the inside of the duct to

remove any accumulation of lint or
debris.

Reconnect the duct.
Professional duct cleaning is

recommended. See page 17.

Cleaning the moisture
sensor

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

transparent buildup is deposited on the
sensors.

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 lint filter

housing

Lint and small debris may accumulate
in the lower portion of the lint filter
opening. With the lint filter removed,

accumulated lint can be seen and
easily removed with a vaccum cleaner

using a narrow crevice cleaning tool.
If you do not have a crevice cleaning

tool that will reach to the bottom of the
opening, you may contact Customer

Service for a list of sources and
recommended attachments.

Cleaning the Steam
nozzle

Once a year, inspect the nozzle outlet.
If you suspect blockage, wipe the

outside of the nozzle with a cloth
moistened with vinegar. Ifthe nozzle is

completely blocked, consult the

troubleshooting guide (see page 31) for

removal and cleaning instructions. If

the nozzle remains blocked, call

customer service (see page 32).

Change the light bulb

The dryer light turns on inside the drum

when you open the door and stays on

for for about 5 minutes or until the door

is closed. The light turns off about 4
seconds after the door isclosed.

To change the light bulb:

Set program selector to "Off".

Turn off the circuit breaker.

Unplug the dryer from the power
supply.

Open the door and locate the
dryer light on the upper left side of

the seal.

Loosen the screw and open the
dryer light cover.

Turn bulb counterclockwise.

Replace the bulb with a new
appliance bulb only (obtainable
through parts department).

Any accumulation of lint or debris
should be removed at least once a

month using your vacuum cleaner.

%

Parts are available at
www.boschappliances.com

or by calling 1 800 944-2904.

Replace the cover and secure with
the screw.

Plug the dryer back into the power

supply.
Turn on the circuit breaker.
