About this manual
These operating and installation instructions apply to
more than one model of dryer. Illustrations used may
show details that differ from your particular model.
Read your user manual. It contains valuable information
about the safety, installation and operation of your new
appliance.
This can save you time, make it easier to correctly install
and use your dryer, and improve your overall satisfaction
with your new appliance.

Environmentally friendly use of your dryer
Your new Bosch dryer is designed to use energy in a
highly efficient way to help reduce operating costs,
conserve resources and protect the environment.
To save energy, money and time, Bosch recommends
the following:
▯ Spin 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 spin speeds
reduce the drying time and the energy consumption.
▯ Optimize load and selected drying program
▯ Use the maximum amount of laundry for the
appropriate drying program.
▯ Use automatic drying programs for the most energy
efficient use of your dryer. They perform according
to internal moisture and temperature sensors
delivering optimized efficiency and fabric care.
▯ Use the Time Dry program for touching up damp
loads or for small loads. This program will use more
energy than the automatic programs.
~ Program selection table; Page 36
NOTICE: The energy rating of this dryer is based on the
Cotton program with the Dryness Level set to Dry (all
other option settings are off).
▯ Clean filters
Clean the lint filters before or after each drying
process.
~ Cleaning the lint filters; Page 39
▯ Air inlet on the dryer
Do not cover or allow any articles/items to restrict the
air inlet on the front of the dryer.
▯ Energy-saving mode
The display panel lighting goes out after a few minutes
and Start/Pause flashes. To activate the display, press
any button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated if a program is
running.
If Wi-Fi is activated the appliance will not automatically
switch off (automatic switch-off function is
deactivated).

9CAUTION
DO NOT INSTALL THE DRYER:
▯ outdoors,
▯ in an environment with dripping water,
▯ near flammable materials,
▯ in rooms which are at risk of freezing,
▯ in rooms which may contain gas or other fuels,
▯ on carpets.
Because many variables affect drying time we
recommend allowing as much free air space around your
dryer as possible for the shortest drying cycle time.
NOTICE: If your dryer is located in a closet, leave the
closet door open while the dryer is operating.
The recommended ambient temperatures (between 5986°F / 15-30°C) are for optimum drying times, outside
of this range drying times may be longer.
The installation surface (floor) must be level and
structurally sound. Using a bubble level and the heightadjustable feet installed on the appliance, level the
appliance side to side and front to back.
