Which battery should I use?

The device works with batteries from the Power for ALL 18 V series by Bosch. Use only batteries recommended by the manufacturer.

What suction modes are available?

How to empty the dust container?

Press the release button on the dust container and remove it. Empty the contents into a trash bin. For thorough cleaning, you can also remove the filter and clean it.

How to clean the filters?

Remove the crevice filter and the fluff filter. Never expose them to liquids. Tap or gently brush them. If necessary, you can rinse them with cold water (only the crevice filter) and let them dry completely before reinserting.

What to do if the device does not turn on?

Check that the battery is properly inserted and charged. If the error display flashes red, the battery or device is overheated or undercooled. Let it cool down to room temperature for 30 minutes.

• Only charge the battery in the temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C.
• Only store the battery in the temperature range between -20 °C and 50 °C.
• Do not store the battery for an extended period of time if it is fully charged or fully discharged.
