,/k IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The warnings and safety
instructions in this manual can not
cover all possible risks, conditions
and situations that may arise. Use
common sense and exercise
caution when installing, maintaining
and operating this or any other
appliance.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons and/or damage when
using your dryer, follow basic
precautions, _ncluding the
following.
1. Read all instructions before using
the dryer. Bosch dryers are
provided with Operating, Care and
Installation Instructions.
2. Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
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
themselves.
5. Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance at any time;
severe injury or death could
result. Children should be kept a
safe distance away from
appliances at all times. Children
should only be permitted within an
appliance's vicinity if under close,
constant adult supervision.
6. Do not allow children's toys, or
other items that might encourage
children to climb on the dryer, to
be stored on or in the dryer or on
shelves or in cabinets or other
storage areas adjacent to the
dryer.
7. Do not sit or stand on the top of
the dryer.
8. 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.
9. To reduce the risk of poisoning or
chemical burns, keep all cleaning
products out of the reach of
children.
10.
11.
12.
Store all laundry chemicals and
aids in a cool dry place according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure children cannot reach
them. Gasoline, combustible
materials and materials that
produce flammable vapors,
flammable liquids, and substances
that pose a fire hazard must not be
stored near the dryer.
Keep pets away from the dryer.
BEFORE THE APPLIANCE IS
REMOVED FROM SERVICE OR
DISCARDED, REMOVE THE
DOOR TO THE DRYING
COMPARTMENT.
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
laundry load to catch fire.
3. The dryer must only be used for its
intended purpose.
Do not reach into the appliance if
the drum is rotating.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather or the elements,
such as water/moisture, dirt,
corrosive/salt air, and excessive
cold.
4. When children become old
enough to operate the appliance, it
is the responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that
they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.
15. Do not tamper with the controls.
16. 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.
17.
18.
Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the fabric
manufacturer.
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.
19. Do not dry articles containing
spunbonded olefin. Spunbonded
olefin can melt and can ignite by
spontaneous combustion.
20. Check the lint screen before each
laundry load and clean as needed.
Excess lint buildup can damage
the dryer and create a potential
fire hazard.
21. Keep area around the exhaust
opening and adjacent surrounding
areas free from the accumulation
of lint, dust and dirt. An obstructed
port might reduce the airflow and
cause overheating.
22. The interior of the machine and
exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified service
personnel.
23. Removing any panel or cover,
including the light cover, may
expose live electrical circuits.
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.
24. To avoid fire hazards, do not use
an extension cord, an adapter, or
any other non-manufacturer
supplied electrical connector or
cord, to connect the dryer to the
electrical supply. Dryers require
substantial amounts of electrical
power and must have dedicated
electrical outlets.
25. Always check clothing pockets
and shake out all laundry items
before placing into dryer;
