• je nach Ausstattung33 We are very pleased that you have chosen to purchase a cordless hand-held vacuum cleaner from Bosch. This instruction manual describes various appliance models, which means that some of the equipment fea- tures and functions described may not apply to your model. You should only use original Bosch accessories, which have been specially developed for your vacuum cleaner, in order to achieve the best possible vacu- uming results.

Plug the charging cable plug into the socket.

The charging indicator flashes during the charging process.

Once the battery is fully charged, the charging indi- cator lights up in blue and no longer flashes.

It is normal for the charging cable and hand-held va- cuum cleaner to become hot and this is not a cause for concern. Battery charging status indicator Fig.

The battery charging status indicator for the appliance corresponds to one of the two following variants: a) The indicator shows the charging status of the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator lights up in blue.

When the indicator flashes, the battery must be re- charged. b) The indicator LEDs show the charging status of the battery. Battery fully charged Battery semi-charged Battery low

Move the on/off button in the direction of the arrow. Controlling the suction level Fig.

To adjust the suction power, slide the on/off switch to the desired position:

Power level 1 1 Suction without the electric brush switched on. For simple cleaning tasks on hard floors and particu- larly low operating noise. The appliance achieves the maximum run time at this level.

Power level 2 2 Vacuuming at normal power and with the electric brush switched on. For normal cleaning tasks on all floors at an average run time.

Turbo level Turbo Vacuuming at full power and with the electric brush switched on. For particularly demanding cleaning tasks on all sur- faces (carpets, in particular) and when using an op- tional accessory. The appliance achieves a shorter run time at this level. Fig.

During short pauses in vacuuming, the appliance can be left standing anywhere in the room. To do this, tilt the vacuum cleaner forwards slightly in the direction of the nozzle.

Caution: When the appliance is left standing, it must be switched off because, if the brush is turning while the appliance is standing still, it could cause damage to the floor covering. Vacuuming with accessories Fig.

a) Plug the accessory adapter into the hand-held vacuum cleaner and lock it into place. To release the accessory adapter, press the release button and pull out the accessory adapter. b) Fasten the carrying strap to the handle. When doing so, lay down the appliance; do not rest it on the adapter or the hose. Fig.

Fit nozzles as required to the flexible hose with the accessory adapter handle:

Upholstery nozzle for vacuuming upholstered furni- ture, curtains, etc.

Crevice nozzle for vacuuming crevices and corners, etc. After using the appliance Fig.

Switch off the appliance after vacuuming. Emptying the dust container Fig.

In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming re- sults, 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 marking. We recommend that you not fill the dust container bey- ond the marking, as this leads to considerable soiling of the filter. When emptying the dust container, always check how dirty the outer filter unit is and, if necessary, clean it as detailed in the "Cleaning the outer filter unit" instruc- tions. Fig.

Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli- ance is switched off. Never vacuum without the outer filter unit and its fitted filter cartridge. Fig.

Use the release button to unlock the dust container and remove it from the appliance. Fig.

Take the filter unit out of the dust container.

Remove any dirt which may have been lodged under- neath the container ejector opening.

Insert the filter unit into the dust container, making sure it is correctly seated.

Insert the dust container in the appliance, so that it "clicks" audibly into place.

Caution: If you notice any resistance when inserting the dust container, check that the filter is complete and that the filter unit and dust container are correct- ly seated. Filter care

Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli- ance is switched off. Fig.

Cleaning the outer filter unit The outer filter unit should be cleaned at regular in- tervals in order to ensure optimum operation of the vacuum cleaner.

Please switch off the appliance to clean the outer filter unit.

Remove the dust container from the appliance. Fig.

Clean the outer filter unit. a) It is usually sufficient to lightly shake or tap out the whole filter unit when the dust container is emptied in order to dislodge any particles of dirt. b) If this is not sufficient, you can use a dry cloth to remo- ve dirt particles from the surface. If you want to wash the outer filter unit, you must first remove the filter cartridge from the filter unit. The filter cartridge must only be reinserted after the outer filter unit has completely dried.

Cleaning the filter cartridge

Switch off the appliance.

Remove the dust container from the appliance. Fig.

a) Turn the filter cartridge lid anti-clockwise and remove the filter cartridge from the filter unit. b) Firstly, clean the filter cartridge by tapping out the dirt. c) Then, under running water, rinse out the filter cartridge, foam filter and motor protection filter together or separately from each other. If the foam filter is heavily contaminated, the filter cartridge can also be cleaned in the washing machine at a maximum temperature of 30 °C and at the lowest spin speed. Allow the foam filter and motor protection filter to dry completely (approx. 24 hours) d) After fitting the foam filter, insert the filter cartridge into the dust container. e) Insert the filter cartridge into the filter unit and lock it by turning the lid clockwise. New filters can be obtained from our after-sales service, if required. Cleaning the floor nozzle Before carrying out any maintenance, switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect it from the charging cable. Fig.

a) Release the brush roller using the release button and pull it sideways out of the floor nozzle. b) Using the groove provided, cut through threads and hairs wound round the rollers with scissors and then remove them. c) Push the brush roller in sideways along the guide rod in the floor tool and lock in place using the release button.

Caution: The floor nozzle must only be put into ope- ration with the brush roller fitted. Care Before cleaning the hand-held vacuum cleaner, it must be switched off and disconnected from the charging cable. The vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned with an ordinary plastic cleaner.

Caution: Do not use abrasive materials, glass- cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaning products. Never immerse the vacuum cleaner in water. Subject to technical modifications.
