How long is the FastDry program?

The FastDry program can dry small volumes of synthetic and thin clothing in approximately 40 minutes.

How often should I clean the lint filter?

It is recommended to clean the lint filter after every drying cycle to maintain optimal efficiency and prevent extended drying times.

Troubleshooting

Dryer won't turn on

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the door is fully closed. Check your household's circuit breaker or fuse box.

Clothes are not drying properly or taking too long

Clean the lint filter thoroughly. Ensure the AutoDry setting is appropriate for the load's desired dryness level. Avoid overloading the dryer; ensure there is enough space for clothes to tumble freely. Check if the condensate container needs emptying. *Consult your manual for heat exchanger/condenser cleaning instructions.*

Excessive noise or vibration during operation

Ensure the dryer is placed on a stable, level surface. Adjust the appliance's feet if necessary to eliminate wobbling. Make sure the load is balanced and not too heavy for the capacity.

Display shows an error code

Refer to your user manual for a list of error codes and their corresponding solutions. Often, turning the dryer off and on again (power reset) can resolve minor glitches.

Water is leaking from the dryer

Check that the condensate container is correctly inserted and not overflowing. If using direct drainage, ensure the hose is properly connected and not blocked or kinked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance and longevity from your Bosch Tumble Dryer, follow these guidelines.

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Keep the user manual for future reference.
  2. Placement: Position the dryer on a stable, level surface. The dimensions are approximately 842 mm (H) x 598 mm (W) x 613 mm (D) (depth excludes knobs). Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.
  3. Levelling: Use a spirit level to ensure the dryer is perfectly level. Adjust the feet if necessary. Proper leveling is crucial for the effectiveness of the Anti Vibration design and quiet operation.
  4. Power Connection: Plug the dryer into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the appliance's requirements (check the rating plate).
  5. Water Container/Drainage: As a heat pump dryer, it collects condensed water in a container. Ensure this container is correctly placed. Alternatively, it may have an option for direct drainage; consult your manual for setup if you prefer this.

Compatibility

  • Electrical: Compatible with standard domestic electrical outlets (e.g., 220-240V, 50Hz in most regions).
  • Space: Ensure sufficient space for the appliance dimensions and allow for door opening and ventilation.

Care & Maintenance

Regular care ensures your dryer operates efficiently and reliably.

  1. Clean the Lint Filter: After every load, clean the lint filter located inside the door opening. A clogged filter reduces airflow, increases drying times, and wastes energy.
  2. Empty the Condensate Container: After each cycle (or when indicated), empty the water collected in the condensate container. If using direct drainage, this step is not needed.
  3. Clean the Heat Exchanger/Condenser: As a heat pump dryer, it has a heat exchanger that needs occasional cleaning. *Consult your user manual for specific instructions on how and when to clean the heat exchanger/condenser, as this is crucial for efficiency.*
  4. Wipe Down Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  5. Clean the Drum: Periodically wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not use harsh chemicals.
