About this manual

more than one model of dryer. Illustrations used may 

show details that differ from your particular model.
Read your user manual. It contains valuable information 

about safety, installation and operation of your new 

appliance.
This can save you time, make it easier to correctly install 

and use your dryer, and improve your overall satisfaction 

with your new appliance.

Special features

A distinctive feature of your dryer is low energy 

consumption.

Bosch® dryers feature advanced operation 

philosophy, customized drying programs and a solid 

touch and feel making them a user-friendly household 

assistant.

Bosch® load sensing feature controls power 

consumption for each cycle based on the amount and 

type of laundry. This automatic feature optimizes 

energy efficiency.

Environmentally friendly use of your dryer

Your new Bosch® dryer is designed to use energy in a 

highly efficient way to help reduce operating costs, 

conserve resources and protect the environment.
To save energy, money and time, Bosch® recommends 

the following:

Spin 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 spin speeds 

reduce the drying time and the energy consumption.

Use optimum load

 

Utilize the maximum amount of laundry for the 

appropriate cycle. However, do not exceed 

recommended loads.

Clean filter

any button. 

Energy-saving mode is not activated if a program is 

running.
If Wi-Fi is activated the appliance will not automatically 

switch off (automatic switch-off function is
