When properly cared for, your new appliance has been 

designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions 

carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the 

risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. 

When using laundry appliances, basic safety precautions 

must be followed, including those in the following pages. 

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of 

transport damage, do not plug it in.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, 

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHEN USING YOUR 

DRYER, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS INCLUDING 

THE FOLLOWING

▯

Bosch dryers are provided with an Operating, Care and

Installation Instruction manual. Read and understand

all instructions before using the dryer.

▯

Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned,

washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning

solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as

they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

▯

Before the appliance is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to prevent children from

playing or hiding inside. Also remove the power cord/

plug.

▯

Do not allow anyone to climb, lean or hang on any part

of the dryer including any protruding components such

as the appliance door or a pullout shelf.

▯

Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is rotating.

▯

Do not tamper with the controls.

▯

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any service unless specifically recommended

in the user manual or in published user repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to

carry out. 

▯

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate

static unless recommended by the fabric manufacturer.

▯

Always unplug the dryer from the power supply before

attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by

grasping the plug, not the cord.

▯

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.

▯

Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your

dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may

contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a

load to catch fire.

▯

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 ignite

by spontaneous combustion.

▯

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from the dryer.

▯

Clean lint filter before or after each load.

▯

The interior of the machine should be cleaned

periodically by qualified service personnel.

Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed

to the weather. Hoses and internal parts may be

damaged if exposed to freezing temperatures.

Do not use the dryer if it has a worn power cord or

loose plug.

▯

The dryer must only be used for its intended purpose.

▯

Always follow the fabric care instructions

recommended by the clothing manufacturer.

▯

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

▯

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.

in injury and/or damage.

▯

To avoid floor damage and mold growth, do not let

spills or splashout cause standing water around or
