Tips on saving energy
To save energy, money and time,
Bosch recommends the following:
Drain 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!
Use maximum recommended
loads. However, do not exceed
loads.
Clean filter!
Clean the filter before and after
each drying process
(see page 25).
Ventilate the room!
During the drying process
provide an adequate supply
of fresh air.
Do not dry unsuitable
materials!
Do not dry rubberized or
air tight items.
Do clean and inspect the
exhaust system on a regular
basis!
Blockages may extend drying
time.

Drying tips
In principle, the following applies to
all drying programs:
To ensure a uniform drying
result, sort the laundry
according to fabric type and
