Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suffocating. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. (In case of change of ownership, manual should be conveyed with the dryer.) 3 Use and Care Manual IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following. 11. Clean lint screen before or after each load. 12. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. 13. The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. 14. Always be sure to unplug the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. 15. Store all laundry chemicals and aids in a cool dry place according to the manufacturer's instructions in an area where children cannot reach them. 16. 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 itself. 17. Do not sit on top of the dryer. 18. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the dryer to the electrical power supply. 19. The dryer must only be used for its intended purpose. 20. Always check and empty pockets of any objects that may have been forgotten. Cigarette lighters, in particular, present a hazard that can be avoided by this process. 1. Bosch dryers are provided with an Use and Care Manual and an Installation Instruction manual. Read all instructions before using the dryer. 2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. 3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. 4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment. 5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. 6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. 7. Do not tamper with the controls. 8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any service unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. 9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. 10. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, when heated become ignited by spontaneous combustion. 4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 21. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs. 22. Do not operate the dryer with any guards and/or panels removed. 23. Do not operate the dryer with missing or broken parts. 24. Do not bypass any safety devices. 25. Do not use plastic or non-metal flexible duct with this dryer. Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard. 26.

Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions which can lead to bodily injury and/or property damage. Notes: A The IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS and WARNINGS presented in this manual do not cover all possible conditions that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining or operating the dryer. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions that you do not understand. B SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING ­ Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance ­ if it will not fit the outlet have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician or exchange the cord with an appropriate one rated for the dryer. 5 Figure 1.

Please specify dryer model number and language of fascia insert desired. i Exchangeable Control Panel inserts in French and 6 ENERGY SAVING TIPS To save energy, time and money, Bosch recommends the following: l OPERATING TIPS l l Follow the fabric care labels on the clothing. Avoid very small loads. When only one or two items need drying, add a few similar items to improve drying efficiency. Do not mix heavyweight and lightweight clothing. Do not dry wool or fabrics with a wool content Do not dry fabrics that do not allow the free passage of air (for example, GORETEX) Do not dry delicate fabrics such as, silk, synthetic net curtains, etc. Always spin dry the laundry in the washer at the highest recommended speed for the fabric type. The highest spin speed will result in a dryer load and shorten the drying time and amount of energy required to dry the load. Spin dry delicate washing before tumble drying. Load the dryer properly. Do not exceed the maximum load (see CYCLE SELECTION CHART). Always clean the lint filter after each use of the dryer. l l l l l l l BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Before beginning to use your dryer for the first time: 1. Check to make sure that the voltage on which the dryer is to operate is the same as shown on the rating plate. 2. Wipe the interior of the drum with a damp cloth. 3. Thoroughly inspect the dryer for cosmetic damage. GETTING STARTED Below, in order to get started, you will find a summary of how to operate the clothes dryer.
