2 Preventing material
damage
Follow these instructions to avoid ma-
terial damage and damage to the ap-
pliance.
ATTENTION!
The functionality of the appliance
may be impaired if you use the
wrong quantity of fabric softener, de-
tergent, care product or cleaning
agent.
Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer.
Exceeding the maximum load capa-
city impairs the function of the appli-
ance.
Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do
not exceed it.
→"Programmes", Page26
The function of the appliance may be
impaired if the appliance overheats.
During operation, keep the air inlet
on the appliance clear.
Make sure that the area is ad-
equately ventilated.
Light objects such as hair and fluff
may be sucked into the air inlet on
the appliance during operation and
impair the function of the appliance.
Keep the area around the appli-
ance clean during operation.
Keep light objects away from the
appliance.
Foam and foam rubber may deform
or melt during the drying process.
Do not dry laundry that contains
foam or foam rubber.
Unsuitable cleaning products may
damage the surfaces of the appli-
ance.

3 Environmental protec-
tion and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.
Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Operate the appliance in a well-vent-
ilated room and keep the air inlet on
the appliance clear.
a
If air exchange is impeded, this ex-
tends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
Spin the laundry in the washing ma-
chine before drying.
a
If the laundry is excessively damp,
this extends the programme dura-
tion and increases energy con-
sumption.
background
en Installation and connection
12
Observe the programme's maximum
load capacity.
→"Programmes", Page26
a
If the maximum load is exceeded,
this extends the programme dura-
tion and increases energy con-
sumption.
After drying, clean the fluff filter
→Page31.
a
If the fluff filter is dirty, this reduces
the air flow in the appliance, ex-
tends the programme duration and
increases energy consumption.
3.3 Energy saving mode
If you do not use the appliance for an
extended period, it automatically
switches to energy-saving mode. All
displays go out and Start/ Reload
flashes.
Energy-saving mode ends when you
use the appliance again.

cing
To keep your appliance working effi-
ciently for a long time, it is important
to clean and maintain it carefully.
Note:You can find further information
in the digital instruction manual by
scanning the QR code in the table of
contents or on www.bosch-
home.com.
16.1 Tips on cleaning and
care
Wipe down the
housing and the
controls with
nothing but water
and a damp
cloth.
This ensures the
parts of the appli-
ance will remain
clean and hy-
gienic.
Remove all de-
tergent residue,
spray residue or
other residues
immediately.
Fresh deposits
are easier to re-
move without
leaving any
residue.
Leave the appli-
ance door open
after use.
This allows the
residual water to
dry, reducing
odours in the ap-
pliance.
16.2 Moisture sensor
The moisture sensor in this appliance
measures how damp the laundry is
during the drying cycle. The appli-
ance changes the duration of the
automatic programme depending on
the residual moisture in the laundry.
Cleaning the moisture sensor
Over time, residue from limescale,
detergents and care products can
build up on the moisture sensor.
Clean the moisture sensor regularly.
ATTENTION!
Hard or rough objects may damage
the moisture sensor.
Do not use hard or rough objects,
abrasive cleaning products or steel
wool for cleaning.
Note:If you do not clean the appli-
ance as described, the appliance's
functionality may be impaired.
1. Open the door.
2. Clean the moisture sensor with a
sponge.

The filter is cleaned automatically
when the condensation container is
emptied. Check the filter regularly
and clean the filter if it is dirty.

The Cottons Eco programme
(denoted by the arrow symbol) is
suitable for drying cotton laundry with
a normal dampness level, and is the
most efficient programme for drying
damp cotton laundry in terms of com-
bined energy consumption.
The consumption values for this pro-
gramme that are declared on the en-
ergy label refer to a moisture content
of the laundry of 60%.
The values specified for other pro-
grammes are indicative only and
were determined in accordance with
the applicable standard EN61121.
The actual values may deviate from
the indicated values depending on
the type of fabric, composition of
laundry to be dried, residual moisture
in the fabric, set degree of dryness,
amount of laundry being loaded, en-
vironmental conditions and the activ-
ation of additional functions.
The expected programme dura-
tion/"Ready in" time that is shown on
the appliance display when selecting
the programme is based on the spin
speed in the washing machine of
1000 rpm when the appliance is de-
livered.
