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.

the

risk

of

fire,

do

not

into

a

chimney,

furnace

cold

air

duct,

attic,

crawl

space,

or any other

ductwork

used

for venting.

7.

DO

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 buildĆup

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.

A qualified

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

lifeĆtime.

FourĆinch

(approx.

100

mm) diameter

ducting

should be used. Use either

rigid metal

or

flexible metal ducting

material.

DO

NOT

use plastic or

nonĆmetal

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.

add one 90° turn to

the chart.

More than

two

are not

recommended.

For

best performance,

separate

all turns by at
