before using the appliance. These precautions will
reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to
persons. When using laundry appliances, basic safety

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 a Use and Care Manual
with Installation Instructions. 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 the drying
compartment) 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 moving.
▯
Do not tamper with the controls.
▯
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any service unless specifically recommended
in these user maintenance instructions.
▯
Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made by
using a 3D printer).
▯
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
▯
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 or equivalent. Foam rubber
materials can ignite by spontaneous combustion.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from the dryer.
