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.
15
To adjust the dryer feet:
Check heating system
1. Install the dryer on a level and solid surface, preferably
in a corner of a room.
1. Check that the drum is empty.
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. Switch the dryer to Cotton Extra Dry and then touch
the Start/Pause button.
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.
2. Close the dryer door.
4=
After 2-3 minutes touch the Start/Pause button and
open the door.
o If the interior of the dryer feels warm, the dryer has
been connected properly. Switch the dryer to Off.
o If the dryer does not work, switch the dryer to Off.
Look in the Troubleshooting section of this user
manual for hints in solving the problem.

Preparing
the laundry
Sorting 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.
Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to
drying. They provide valuable information as well as
limitations about the temperature of drying process.
Choose an appropriate drying cycle.
Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your
laundry:
Do not dry the following textiles in the dryer:
o Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins,
keys, other hard objects and cigarette lighters) are
placed in the dryer drum. The drum must be empty
prior to drying.
o air-tight textiles (e.g. rubberized),
o delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic curtains).
Drying tips
o To ensure a uniform drying result, sort the laundry
according to fabric type and drying program.
o Do not over-dry easy-care laundry - risk of wrinkling!
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
o Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Place the
laundry in a pile for a short while. Residual moisture
will then be distributed uniformly.
o 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.
o Remove any foreign objects or non-washable
parts.
o Always dry very small items (such as socks and
handkerchiefs) and underwired bras together with
large items of laundry or in a laundry bag.
o Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink when
tumble-dried for the first time. Do not use the Extra
Dry program.
o Only dry wool
refresh or fluff
Wool program

fabrics with the use of drying rack. To
up wool articles use the Hand Wash/
and remove load from dryer and layout
to finish drying.
o Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryer.
Starch leaves behind a coating that reduces the drying
effect.
o When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried
afterwards, use the correct amount of fabric softener
as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
o For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual
items of laundry, use the Time program.

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
("Bosch") in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty
applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you, the first
using purchaser, provided that the Product was
purchased:

use,
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.
o New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial
use.
o Within the United States or Canada, and has at all
times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply only to the first
purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.

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 purchase. The
foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of

of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing
