Setup
Unpacking

Electrical Connection
Connect the dryer to a properly installed and grounded power outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications on the appliance's rating plate.
Drainage Connection
The Bosch WTE84107EE offers the possibility of direct drainage connection. A drainage hose is included for this purpose. Connect the hose to the designated outlet on the dryer and route it to a suitable drain, ensuring there are no kinks. If not using direct drainage, the condensate will collect in the reservoir.
Operating Instructions
Control Panel Overview
Familiarize yourself with the control panel, which typically includes a program selector dial, start/pause button, and indicator lights for program status, emptying the condensate reservoir, and cleaning the lint filter.
Loading Laundry
Open the front-loading door and load the laundry into the drum. Do not overload the dryer; ensure clothes can tumble freely. Close the door securely. The dryer has a capacity of 7 kg.
Selecting a Program
Turn the program selector dial to choose the appropriate drying program for your laundry type. Special programs include:
- Sport: For sportswear and synthetic fabrics.
- Timed Warm 20 min: A quick 20-minute warm drying cycle.
- Quick 40 min: A rapid 40-minute drying cycle for small loads.
Special Functions
Press the relevant button to activate special functions such as Gentle Drying for delicate items.
Starting the Drying Cycle
Once the program and any desired functions are selected, press the Start/Pause button to begin the drying cycle.
End of Program
The dryer will signal the end of the program with an audible alert and/or an indicator light. A special 120-minute anti-crease cooling cycle automatically activates after the program finishes to minimize wrinkles if laundry is not removed immediately.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Lint Filter
After each drying cycle, the "Clean Filter" indicator light will illuminate. Open the door and remove the lint filter. Clean it thoroughly under running water or with a soft brush to ensure optimal drying performance and prevent fire hazards. Reinsert the clean filter.
Emptying the Condensate Container
If you are not using the direct drainage option, the "Empty Reservoir" indicator light will illuminate when the condensate container is full. Pull out the container and empty the collected water. Reinsert the container securely.
Cleaning the Appliance
Wipe the exterior of the dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically clean the heat exchanger according to the instructions in the full user manual (not provided here).
Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer service, please refer to the following common issues and their solutions:
- Dryer not starting: Check if the power plug is inserted correctly, the door is fully closed, and a program has been selected.
- Poor drying results: Ensure the lint filter is clean, the condensate container is empty (if applicable), and the load size is appropriate for the selected program.
- Unusual noises: Check for foreign objects in the drum or filter area. Ensure the dryer is level.
- Indicator lights remain on: Refer to the specific indicator light in the operating section for its meaning (e.g., "Clean Filter," "Empty Reservoir").
