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.
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.
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.
