Algae removal instructions from the Bosch Ecologixx 7 Dryer

STEP-BY-STEP CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS


1. Remove the Condenser Tank from top left corner of the machine

2. Pour 2½ dl of raw white vinegar down the drain opening on the front floor of the Condenser Tank cavity into the Water Reservoir

3. Run the dryers Warm-program without the Condenser Tank in place for a few minutes and observe with a flashlight that the vinegar is circulating up from the Water Resevoir back up into the the Condenser Tank (eject hole at the back ceiling in the Water Tank Cavity).

The solution will drain down the secondary drain in the middle of the cavity back to the Water Reservoir while the Condenser Tank is not present.

4. Half fill the Condencer Tank with hot water to rince and dilute the vinegar out of the system

5. Reinsert the Condencer Tank with hot water and run the Warm-program for 30min

6. You might experience mild vinegar smell in the first few dryerfuls of clother but after that it will subside.

7. Repeat treatment every 3-6 months and before leaving the dryer unused for multiple weeks at a time.

8. If the algae clog is bad enough to result in the indicative ”Condencer Tank Full”-warning even thou the tank is nearly empty you might need to first have the pump changed by a Bosch technician for a clean one.
