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).

Leveling the dryer
Importance of leveling the dryer
It is important that your dryer is level and that all four dryer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your dryer.
To adjust the dryer feet:
1.
Install the dryer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room.
2.
If the floor is uneven (or not level) adjust the dryer feet as required to level the dryer. Do not place anything under the dryer feet to help level the dryer.
3.
Extend the dryer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the dryer will experience. Start with the dryer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
4.
Use a bubble level to check the top of the dryer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
5.
Press down on each corner of the dryer top to make sure the dryer does not “wobble“. There should be no "give" or movement. All four dryer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the dryer being level to prevent vibration.

Preparing the laundry
NOTICE: Damage to the appliance/fabrics. Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails)
may damage the laundry or components in the dryer. Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your
laundry:
Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins,
keys, other hard objects and cigarette lighters) are placed in the dryer drum.
Close any fasteners (such as zippers, hooks and
eyelets) that could cause laundry to catch or become entangled. Button up covers. Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts.
The drum must be empty prior to loading textiles.
Sorting the laundry
Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to drying. They provide valuable information as well as limitations about laundry process (temperature etc.) to help you choose an appropriate cycle.
When washing laundry to be tumble-dried, use the
correct amount of detergent and textile care products as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
Clean the moisture sensor regularly. ~ Cleaning
the moisture sensors; Page 40
Do not dry the following textiles in the dryer:
air-tight textiles (e.g. rubberized),
delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic curtains).
Drying tips
To ensure a uniform drying result, sort the laundry
according to fabric type and drying program.
Always dry very small items (such as socks and
handkerchiefs) and underwired bras together with large items of laundry or in a laundry bag.
Do not over-dry easy-care laundry - risk of wrinkling!
Allow laundry to finish drying 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.
Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink when
tumble-dried for the first time. Do not use program with selected Extra Dry dryness level.
Only dry wool fabrics with the use of drying rack
accessory. To refresh or fluff up wool articles use the Hand Wash/Wool program and remove load from dryer and layout on flat surface to finish drying.
For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual
items of laundry, use the Time program. Also suitable for adding additional drying time if
necessary.
~ Program selection; Page 28 ~ Program selection table; Page 36
Some detergents and textile care products, starch or
softeners may contain chemicals that may become deposited on the moisture sensors negatively affecting their function and the drying results.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
Bosch Clothes Dryer
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to:
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch”) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance ("Product") sold to you provided that the Product was purchased:
For your normal, household (non-commercial) use,
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.
New at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
Within the United States or Canada, and has at all
times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty.
Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.
Limitation for Third Party Accessories: Third party accessories, other than those shipped with your Bosch appliance, and any consequential damages resulting therefrom, are not covered by this warranty. This limitation expressly includes the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, which are also expressly excluded with respect to third party accessories, other than those shipped with your Bosch appliance. Use of third party accessories, other than those shipped with your Bosch appliance, does not void this warranty on any other part, and all other provisions of this warranty remain in effect.
How Long the Warranty Lasts: Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-five days (365) days from the date of the original purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances.
SCOPE OF EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY
Bosch will repair or replace, free of charge, any printed circuit boards, drive motor or component part of the drive motor that proves defective under conditions of normal home use during the first seven hundred thirty (730) days from the date of the orginal purchase, labor charges excluded.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become property of Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not to be extended with respect to such parts. Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer­defective Product only, using a Bosch authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non--authorized servicer provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized servicer provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch’s opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is in a reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call.
Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.
