Please note Using unsuitable or inferior-quality spare parts, (special) accessories and dust bags can damage your vacuum cleaner. Damage caused by the use of such products is not covered by our guarantee. Safety information This vacuum cleaner complies with the recognised rules of technology and the relevant safety regulations. The appliance may be used by children over the age of 8 years and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacity or by per- sons with a lack of experi- ence or knowledge if they are supervised or have been inst- ructed on the safe use of the appliance and the have un- derstood the potential dan- gers of using the appliance.

Proper use Only connect and use the vacuum cleaner in ac-cordance with the specifications on the rating plate. Never vacuum without the dust bag or dust container, motor protection or exhaust filter. >= This may damage the vacuum cleaner. Always keep the vacuum cleaner away from your head when using nozzles and tubes.>= This could cause injury! When vacuuming stairs, the appliance must always be positioned below the user. Do not use the power cord or the hose to carry or transport the vacuum cleaner. For safety reasons, if this appliance's mains power cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sales service department or a similarlyqualified person. If using the appliance for longer than 30 minutes, pull out the power cord completely. When disconnecting the appliance from the mains, pull on the plug itself to remove it; do not pull on the power cord. Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges or allow it to become trapped. When the cable is being automatically rewound, en- sure that the mains plug is not thrown towards per-sons, body parts, animals or objects. >= Use the mains plug to guide the power cord. Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work on the vacuum cleaner. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is de-tected. For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs and fit replacement parts to the vacuum cleaner. Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather, moistu-re and sources of heat.

At the end of its life, the appliance should immediately be rendered unusable, then disposed of in an appro-priate manner. Please note The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16 amp circuit breaker. If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electri-cal appliances which have a high current draw are connected to the same power circuit. To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select the lowest power setting before switching the ap-pliance on, and increase the power only once it is running.

• Depending on model Replacement parts and special accesso- ries A Replacement filter package To get the most out of your appliance, we recom- mend using PowerProtect genuine replacement bags (00577549). Contents: - 4 dust bags with fasteners - 1 micro-hygiene filter We therefore recommend that you only use our origi- nal dust bags. Your appliance is a highly efficient vacuum cleaner that achieves excellent cleaning results when used with high-quality dust bags. Only by using high- quality dust bags (such as Bosch original dust bags) can you ensure that your vacuum cleaner is working at the energy efficiency class, dust pick-up rate and dust retention capacity listed on its EU energy label. The use of inferior-quality dust bags (e.g. paper bags) can have a negative effect on the service life and performance of your appliance. Using unsuitab- le or inferior-quality dust bags can also damage your vacuum cleaner. Such damage is not covered by our guarantee. You can find more information about this at www.bosch-home.com/dust-bag. You can order our original vacuum cleaner bags here.

Caution: Floor nozzles are subject to a certain amount of wear, depending on the type of hard floors you have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles). You must therefore check the underside of the floor nozzle at regular intervals. Worn undersides of floor nozzles may have sharp edges that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not ac- cept any responsibility for damage caused by worn floor nozzles.

Set the adjustable floor nozzle: Rugs and carpets => Hard floors/parquet => Fig. 11* Vacuuming with accessories Attach the nozzles to the suction pipe or handle as re- quired: a) Crevice nozzle for vacuuming crevices and corners, etc. b) Upholstery nozzle for vacuuming upholstered furni- ture, curtains, etc. c) Upholstery nozzle with attachable hard furnishings brush for vacuuming window frames, cupboards, cornicing, etc.

Caution: Always switch off the appliance before changing the filter. Replacing the dust bag Fig.

If the dust bag change indicator lights up conti- nuously when the nozzle is lifted from the floor and the highest power setting has been selected, the dust bag must be changed, even though it may not yet be full. In this case, it needs to be changed due to the type of dust which has been vacuumed.

The nozzle, suction pipe and flexible hose must not be blocked, even if this does not trigger the dust bag change indicator. Fig.

Open the lid by moving the locking lever in the direc- tion of the arrow. Fig.

a) Close the dust bag by pulling on the locking tab, and remove the bag. b) Push the new dust bag into the holder until it clicks into place. When doing so, leave the dust bag folded as it was when removed from the packaging. Do not crease or kink the dust bag, and ensure that it is not pinched when the lid is closed.

Caution: The lid will only close if a dust bag has been inserted. Motor protection filter

Caution: The vacuum must not be operated without the motor protection filter. Cleaning the motor protection filter The motor protection filter should be cleaned regularly by tapping out the dirt and rinsing. Fig. 19*

Open the dust bag compartment lid. Fig.

Release the motor protection filter by pulling on the side tabs and pull it out in the direction of the arrow.

Clean the motor protection filter by tapping out the dirt.

If it is very dirty, the motor protection filter should be rinsed. The filter must then be left to dry for at least 24 hours.

After cleaning, refit the motor protection filter into the appliance and lock it in place at the top. Close the dust bag compartment lid.

• Depending on model Exhaust filter The exhaust filter must be cleaned or replaced at least once a year. Replacing the micro-hygiene exhaust filter Fig. 20*

Unlock the filter holder by moving the locking tab in the direction of the arrow.

Insert the filter holder into the appliance and lock it in place. Cleaning the (H)EPA* exhaust filter The (H)EPA* filter is designed so that it does not need to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as inten- ded in the household. To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op- timum power level, the (H)EPA* filter should be rinsed out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re- mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco- loured. Fig. 21*

Unlock the (H)EPA* filter by moving the locking tab in the direction of the arrow, and remove it from the appliance.

Tap out the filter unit and rinse it under running wa- ter. Alternatively, the unit can be cleaned in a washing machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle programme and the lowest spin speed. TIP: To protect other laundry items, put the filter unit into a laundry bag.
