Features and Benefits of Your New Dryer
ActiveDryt 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.
EcoSmartt
EcoSmartt 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.
EcoActiont
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.
DynamicAirt
The Bosch Vision DynamicAirt system 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 backshield full of holes to properly distribute air over your laundry, giving you the most gentle and effective drying possible.
Wrinkle BlockR
Sometimes you can't get your laundry right when the buzzer rings. Wrinkle BlockR 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.
160º Door Hinge
The dryer door opens up to 160º - 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 dry without 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 5½ inch (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:
Smore air cools the dryer, keeps the dryer from overheating, and improves drying performance.
Sreduction of the risk of mold formation behind the appliance.
Sreduced noise transmission
Sfacilitation 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.
