Grounding
instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for the electric
current.
For Canada the dryer comes with a
cord which has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet which has been
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local regulations
and ordinances.
Improper

Have the appliance
checked
by
a qualified electrician
or service
technician
if you are in doubt as
to whether the dryer has been
properly grounded.
Exhaust air connection
1. To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer
MUST BE EXHAUSTED
OUTDOORS.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, do not
use the ductwork longer than
recommended.
3. DO NOT use a plastic or
non-metal duct with this dryer.
4. DO NOT use a duct smaller than 4
inches in diameter.
5. DO NOT use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
6. DO NOT exhaust the dryer into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct,
attic, crawl space, or any other
ductwork used for venting.
7. DO NOT install a flexible duct in an
enclosed wall, ceiling or floor.
8. DO NOT crush or kink the duct.
9. Do clean and inspect the exhaust
system on a regular basis; at least
once a year.
10. The exhaust duct must terminate
in a manner to prevent back drafts
or entry of birds or other wildlife.
The Bosch dryers are intended to be
vented outdoors. To prevent build up
of moisture and accumulation of lint
indoors, as well as to maintain
maximum drying efficiency, it is
recommended that the dryer is vented
outdoors.
Exhaust
air outlet
on the dryer
The dryer is delivered with an exhaust
air outlet on the rear of the appliance.
To take account of the spatial
requirements and an existing exhaust
air system, the following connection
options are possible for the exhaust air
outlet:
-
on right side of the appliance,
-
on the underside of the appliance.

Special exhaust air connections must
be obtained from your dealer or part
supplier for either connection type (see
page 8).

Bottom exhaust kit
A qualified technician should change
the exhaust air outlet to the optional
connection location.
Ductwork
To ensure optimum performance, the
ducting system of the dryer should be
as short as possible with a minimum
number of elbows. Your dryer will work
best when the venting system has as
few air flow restrictions as possible.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
recommended may extend drying time,
cause lint to accumulate and affect
dryer performance and dryer life-time.
Fourqnch (approx. 100 mm) diameter
ducting should be used. Use either
rigid metal or flexible metal ducting
material.
DO NOT use plastic or non-metal duct
with this dryer.
DO NOT assemble the ductwork with
screws or fasteners that extend into the
duct. They will serve as an
accumulation point for lint.
Joints should be secured with
aluminum tape.
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
The male end of each duct section
must point away from the dryer.
Whether connecting to an existing
venting system or a new venting
system, make sure that all ducting is
clean and free of lint.
The maximum permitted length for both
rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in
the table below.

Note:
Side and bottom exhaust installations
have a 90 °turn inside the dryer. To
determine maximum exhaust length,
add one 90° turn to the chart.
More than two 90 ° turns are not
recommended. For best performance,
separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance
between last turn and exhaust hood.
