WARNING
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.

loose plug.

▯ Always follow the fabric care instructions
recommended by the clothing manufacturer.
▯ Do not operate the dryer if parts are missing or broken.
▯ 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.
▯ Use the integrated socket only for listed appliances.
