120 minutes if the additional S (Less ironing) function is selected).

Congratulations - you have chosen to buy a modern, high-quality Bosch domestic appliance.

The condensation dryer with heat exchanger and automatic cleaning function is outstanding in terms of efficient energy consumption and low

maintenance requirements apage 6.

Every dryer which leaves our factory is carefully checked to ensure that it functions correctly and is in perfect condition. Should you have any questions, our after-sales service will be pleased to help.

Environmentally-responsible disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-responsible manner. This appliance is designated according to European directive



2002/96/EC which governs waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE).

The directive provides an EU-wide framework for the return and recycling of used appliances.

For further information about our products, accessories, spare parts and services, please visit: www.bosch-home.com

Do not pull out/empty the condensation container when drying is in progress.

on model)

Important Information

Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy efficient. Its technical features include a refrigeration circuit, which uses energy efficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator. The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.

The fluff filters and filter in the condensation container must be cleaned regularly.

Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters and/or condensation container with filter.

Fluff filters

During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. Blocked fluff filters may impair the heat exchange process.

The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle. Rinse regularly under

running water apage 4.

Filter in the condensation container

The filter in the condensation container cleans the condensation. This condensation is required for the automatic cleaning process. The filter should be cleaned regularly under

running water. Empty the condensation container before cleaning the filter apage 4/9.

Fabrics

Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint: e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent. etc. Empty all pockets.

Do not dry non-breathable fabrics. Avoid drying items that produce a lot of fluff. Woollens should be refreshed only, using the woollens programme.

Information on laundry ...

Labelling of fabrics

Follow the manufacturer's care information.

(Dry at normal temperature.

'cDry at low temperature a in addition, select V (Low heat).

)cDo not machine dry.

Always observe the safety instructions on page 13.

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics, for example: – Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).

– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) a these may crease.

– Oil-stained laundry.

Drying tips

– To ensure an even result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme. – Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with

large items of laundry (e.g. towels).

– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.

Tie fabric belts, apron strings, etc. together

– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry a Risk of creasing.

Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.

– Do not dry woollens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed apage 7

O Wooll finish programme.

– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while a residual

moisture will then be distributed evenly.

– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.

aDo not use the +

: Cupboard Dry plus programme.

– The drying of starched laundry should be limited. a Starch leaves behind a coating that

impairs drying.

– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of

fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.

– For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the Timed

programme. Also suitable for subsequent drying.

Environmental protection/energy-saving tips

– Before drying, spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine a the higher the spin

speed, the shorter the drying time will be, thus less energy is consumed. Also spin easycare laundry.

– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it

a Programme overview page 7.

– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying. – Do not cover or seal the air inlet.

Select On/Off for buzzer at the end of the programme. ˎ& (Signal)

drying time; e.g. polyacrylics, polyamide, elastane, acetate silk.

Installation

– Scope of delivery: dryer, installation and operating instructions. – Check dryer for transport damage. – The dryer is very heavy. Do not attempt to lift it on your own. – Be careful to avoid sharp edges. – Do not set up in a room that is susceptible to frost. Freezing water may cause damage. – If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a specialist. – Do not lift the dryer by protruding parts (e.g. the door) - risk of breakage.

Setting up the dryer

– The appliance plug must always be accessible. – Ensure that the appliance is installed on a clean, level

and firm surface.

– Do not obstruct the air inlet on the front of the

dryer. – Keep the area around the dryer clean. – Make the dryer level using the threaded feet

and a spirit level. – Do not remove the threaded feet under any

circumstances.

Mains connection see Safety instructions a page 13.

– Connect to an AC earthed socket. If in doubt have the socket checked by a specialist.

– The mains voltage and the voltage shown on the rating plate (apage 10) must be the

same. – The connected load and necessary fuse protection are specified on the rating plate.

Frost protection

Preparation

1. Empty the condensation container apage 4.

2. Select any programme using the programme selector.

3. Press the (start) button a condensed water is pumped into the container

4. Wait 5 minutes and then empty the condensation container again.

5. Turn the programme selector to 0 (Off).

Transport

– Prepare the dryer a see Frost protection.

– Transport the dryer in a vertical upright position. – Following transportation, do not use the dryer for two hours.

The dryer contains residual water; this can flow out if the dryer is tilted.

Take all accessory parts out of the drum. The drum must be empty.

Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed

Clean and level

Do not set up the dryer behind a door or sliding door, as this may obstruct the dryer door or prevent it from opening. This will prevent a potentially fatal danger to children from locking themselves in.

Do not operate the dryer if there is a danger of frost.

Care and cleaning

Heat exchanger

The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying. Cln appears in the display panel. Do not pull out the condensation container during the cleaning process.

Dryer housing, control panel, air intake

Remove detergent residues immediately. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

Filter in the condensation container

The filter is cleaned automatically when the condensation container is emptied.

However, the filter should still be cleaned regularly under running water a This prevents

stubborn deposits/dirt from building up.

1. Pull out the condensation container.

2. Pull the filter out of its snap-in lock.

3. Clean the filter under running water or in the dishwasher.

4. Refit the filter.

5. Insert the condensation container so that it locks into place.

Only operate the dryer with the filter inserted.

Moisture sensor

The dryer is equipped with stainless steel moisture sensors. Moisture sensors measure how damp the laundry is. A thin layer of limescale may build up on the moisture sensors after prolonged use.

1. Open the door.

2. Clean the moisture sensors using a damp sponge with a rough surface.

Do not use steel wool or abrasive materials.

Appliance must be switched off.

Normal noises

During drying, the compressor and the pump generate some noise which is entirely normal.

The compressor in the dryer may occasion-

ally generate a humming noise.

The compressor in the dryer is ventilated

from time to time, which creates a whirring

sound.

The automatic cleaning process causes a

clicking noise.

The process of pumping the condensation

into the condensation container generates

pumping noises.
