Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Series 4 Heat Pump Tumble Dryer is designed for households seeking an energy-efficient and gentle solution for drying their laundry. Its key benefit is providing perfectly dried, crease-free clothes while protecting fabrics and minimizing energy consumption thanks to its A++ energy rating and advanced heat pump technology. A potential consideration is that heat pump dryers typically have longer cycle times compared to conventional condenser or vented dryers, which is a trade-off for their energy efficiency and fabric care.

FAQs

How does the Auto Dry function work?

Auto Dry uses sensors inside the drum to continuously monitor the heat and moisture levels of your laundry. Once your selected dryness level (e.g., iron dry, cupboard dry) is reached, the dryer automatically stops, preventing over-drying and saving energy.

Is this dryer energy efficient?

Yes, the Bosch Series 4 Heat Pump Tumble Dryer has an A++ energy rating. Its heat pump technology dries clothes at lower temperatures and reuses hot air, making it highly energy-efficient compared to traditional dryers.

How often should I clean the filters?

You should clean the lint filter after every drying cycle. The easy-to-clean condenser filter should be cleaned periodically, typically every few cycles or when indicated by the appliance, to maintain optimal performance and efficiency.

Can I add clothes after a cycle has started?

Yes, the Bosch Series 4 dryer features a Reload function. You can pause the cycle, open the door, add forgotten items, close the door, and resume the cycle.

What is the Super Quick 40 programme for?

The Super Quick 40 programme is designed for rapidly drying small loads of lightweight fabrics and synthetics. It can dry a small amount of laundry in just 40 minutes, perfect for when you need an item quickly.

Does this dryer prevent creasing?

Yes, it features a Sensitive Drying System that uses mild warm air and soft drum paddles to gently tumble clothes, minimizing creasing. Additionally, an Anti-Crease function gently loosens clothes at the end of the cycle to prevent wrinkles from setting in.

What is the warranty period for this dryer?

The Bosch Series 4 Heat Pump Tumble Dryer comes with a 5-year warranty, offering long-term peace of mind.

Troubleshooting

Dryer not starting or no power.

Check if the dryer is properly plugged into a live electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Check if the door is fully closed and latched. Press the 'Start' button firmly.

Clothes are not drying completely or drying takes too long.

Clean the lint filter after every use. Ensure the water tank is empty. Clean the condenser filter periodically as per the manual. Avoid overloading the dryer. Select the appropriate drying programme for the fabric type and load size. Check if the room temperature is too low (heat pump dryers prefer warmer environments).

Dryer is too noisy or vibrating excessively.

Ensure the dryer is placed on a stable, level surface. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Check that the load inside the drum is balanced and not too heavy. Verify that no foreign objects are in the drum.

Water tank warning light is on, but the tank is empty.

The sensor might be damp. Remove and reinsert the water tank firmly. Check for any blockages in the condensation drainage system or the hose if one is connected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure all transit bolts (if any) are removed from the rear of the appliance before installation.
  2. Positioning: Place the dryer on a stable, level surface. The AntiVibration Design helps with stability, but proper leveling is crucial for optimal performance and quiet operation.
  3. Ventilation: Ensure adequate air circulation around the dryer. Do not block vents.
  4. Power Connection: Plug the dryer into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply meets the appliance's requirements.
  5. Dimensions: The product dimensions are approximately 842 mm (Height) x 598 mm (Width) x 613 mm (Depth, excluding knobs and door). Allow extra space for connections and door opening.

Compatibility

  • This heat pump tumble dryer is compatible with standard household electrical outlets. No special plumbing or venting to the outside is required due to its heat pump technology, which condenses moisture into a water tank.

Care

  1. Empty Water Tank: The water tank needs to be emptied after each drying cycle. A full tank will prevent further drying.
  2. Clean Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter located inside the dryer door after every load. This is crucial for maintaining drying efficiency and preventing fire hazards.
  3. Easy-to-Clean Condenser Filter: Periodically clean the condenser filter. The 'Easy Clean' feature makes this process straightforward. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on accessing and cleaning this filter, typically every few cycles or when indicated by the appliance.
  4. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  5. Interior Cleaning: Occasionally wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
  6. Regular Maintenance: Follow any additional maintenance guidelines provided in your user manual to ensure long-term performance and efficiency.
