Tips on saving energy
To save energy, money and time,
Bosch recommends the following:
Drain the laundry thoroughly!
-
Before drying, spin the laundry
thoroughly in the washing
machine. Use the highest possible
spin speed for the type of laundry!
Higher washer spin speeds reduce
residual moisture and decrease
drying time and energy
consumption.
- Use optimum load!
Use larger loads, up to the
maximum recommended loads for
the cycle and laundry type.
However, do not exceed
maximum recommended load
capacity.
- Clean the lint filter!
Check the lint filter before using
the dryer each time and clean the
filter as needed. Making sure the
lint filter is clean before beginning
each drying load results in
improved airflow and reduced
drying time. (see page 27).
- Ventilate the room!
Provide an adequate supply
of fresh air during the drying
process.
- Do not dry unsuitable materials!
Do not dry rubberized or air tight
items.
- Clean and inspect the exhaust
system on a regular basis!
Blockages may extend drying time
or may cause the dryer to
malfunction.
Temporary
disconnection of
the dryer
Operate your dryer only when you are
at home. If you plan to go on vacation
or are not using your dryer for an
extended period of time, you should:
1. Turn off the circuit breaker.
2. Unplug the power supply plug if
possible.
3. Clean the lint filter.
4. Turn off the water supply (applies
only to Steam dryers).

Identification of fabrics

Observe the treatment symbols on the
textile labels. They provide valuable
information as well as limitations about
the drying process.
Do not dry the following textiles in the
dryer:
- Air tight textiles (e.g. rubberized)
- Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic
curtains)
i
Dry woolen or wool rich textiles
with the dryer rack only!
i Use the time program Air fluff/No
heat" to dry articles containing
foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber like materials.

Drying tips

In principle, the following applies to all
drying programs:
- To ensure a uniform drying result,
sort the laundry according to fabric
type and drying cycle selected.
- Fasten zippers, hooks and eyes,
loose belts, apron strings, etc.
- Do not overdry easy care laundry
to reduce the risk of wrinkling!
Hang laundry up promptly to dry in
the air.
- Do not iron laundry immediately
after drying. Place the laundry in a
pile for a short while. Residual
moisture will then be distributed
uniformly.
- Knit textiles (e.g. T shirts,
sweatshirts, and other similar
types of laundry) often shrink when
dried for the first time. Do not use
the "Very dry/Extra dry" cycles the
first time you dry these types of
laundry to reduce potential
shrinkage.
Some items such as these can
also shrink during later laundering.
Use caution in cycle selection to
avoid shrinkage.
