Charging* There are three different ways you can charge the bat- tery - directly using the charging cable (rie. EM), in the fitted docking station (rie. EM) or using an original quick charger. Charging with a charging cable only* Fie. EN To charge the vacuum cleaner, place it near to a so- cket. Plug the charging cable into the connection point at the bottom of the appliance. Plug the charging cable plug into the socket The vacuum cleaner's indicator light will slowly flash green as it charges. Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will remain continuously lit for a few minutes before going out. Disconnect the appliance from the mains briefly to check it. The indicator will then light up green again. It is normal for the charging cable and vacuum clea- ner to heat up and this is not a cause for concern. You can charge the vacuum cleaner whenever it is not in use. Fitting the docking station* Fig. EM Fit the docking station close to a socket. To do this, remove the front plate from the docking station. Insert your finger into the docking station from below, and push the front plate from the inside and out of the locking mechanism. Use the screws provided (or equivalent screws) to mount the do- cking station on the wall. Insert the small connector on the charging cable into the docking station from below, and then up and into the preformed recess. Put the front plate back on and lock it in place to secure the connection in place. Plug the charging cable’s mains plug into the socket Charging in the docking station* Fig. ES Place the vacuum cleaner into the docking station from above The vacuum cleaner's indicator light will start to flash slowly once the vacuum cleaner is connected to the mains power supply via the docking station The vacuum cleaner's indicator light will flash green as it charges. Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will remain continuously lit for a few minutes before going out. Disconnect the appliance from the mains briefly to check it. The indicator will then light up green again. It is normal for the charging cable and vacuum clea- ner to heat up and this is not a cause for concern. You can charge the vacuum cleaner whenever it is not in use

Charging using the quick charger* To use the quick charger for charging, the battery must be removed from the appliance (ris. EM) Please see the user manual provided for more infor- mation on how the quick charger works. Charge time The charge time stated here may vary due to charge status, battery temperature and battery age 18V 2,5Ah | 18V 3,0Ah | 18V6,0ah with the included 0,65A | with the charging cable included 1,0 char- ging cable Via charging | approx. | approx approx. cable or 85h ah 5h docking station (80%)** Via charging | approx. | approx approx. cable or do- | 4h 5h 6,5h cking station (100%)"** Via Bosch | Reference to quick charger User Ma- quick char | nual ger Assembling the appliance GPA 5] « Fit the end of the suction tube onto the vacuum cleaner's connection port and lock it in place. + To release the suction tube, press the release button and pull the suction tube down to remove it Fig. EH «Insert the end of the suction tube into the floor nozz- le and lock it into place + To release the floor nozzle, press the release button and pull the suction tube out of the floor nozzle Vacuum-cleaning Fig. The vacuum cleaner can be switched on and off by pushing the On/Off switch on the handle in the direc- tion of the arrow.

The indicator light will flash green rapidly. Runtime* Like every other Li-lon battery the Power for ALL bat- tery is subject to natural wear as well. That means the battery capacity and thus runtime decrease over time. This is a natural aging process and not the result of a material/production failure or a product defect.

With the 18V 3,0Ah and 2,5Ah Power for ALL batteries, the appliance is optimized for runtime. With the 18V 6,0Ah Power for ALL battery, the appliance is opti- mized for performance (see table) The natural wear can be prolonged with the following measures: Charge the battery only within a temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C. Store the battery only within a temperature range between -20 °C and 50 °C. Do not store the battery fully-charged or completely discharged over a long period of time.

After using the appliance «Switch off the appliance once you have finished va- cuuming. rie. Fig. HU Emptying the dust container In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming re- suits, the dust container should be emptied after every use or, at the latest, when dust at one point in the dust container has reached the mark. We recommend that you do not fill the dust container beyond the mark as this may lead to the filter becoming clogged with dust. When emptying the dust container, always check how much dust there is in the filter unit and, if necessary, clean it as detailed in the "Filter care" instructions. Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli- + ance is switched off. Never vacuum-clean without the filter unit in place. e.Fl «Use the release button to release the dust container, and remove the dust container from the appliance.
