Frequently Asked Questions - AquaWash & Clean BWD41700 BOSCH

How do I use the wet cleaning function?
First, vacuum the surface dry. Install the water filter module with partition and fill the container with 1.3–1.5 L of water. Add cleaning fluid (e.g., Bosch G 500 O Tens) to the cleaning liquid container. Attach the spray unit and a suitable atomizing nozzle. Press the pump switch and adjust water flow with the button on the handle. Move the nozzle slowly over the surface, then switch off pump and dry by moving nozzle without spraying.
What should I do if the pump makes a loud noise?
A loud pump noise indicates the cleaning liquid container is empty or not properly installed. Check that the container is filled with solution and correctly seated. Also ensure the stub pipe is fully inserted into the valve and the hose is attached securely to the nozzle.
How often should I replace the EPA outlet filter?
The EPA outlet filter should be replaced after approximately 30 hours of operation (about 6 months) or earlier if heavily soiled. It can be rinsed under running water and dried before reuse, but replacement is recommended for optimal performance.
Can I vacuum liquids without the water filter module?
No. For liquid pickup, you must use the water filter module with the partition and without water in the container. Attach the water pickup nozzle or atomizing nozzles. The float valve will automatically block suction when the container is full (max 5 L). Never use the dust bag for liquids.
How do I clean the foam filters?
Remove Foam Filter I by opening the filtration unit lid and lifting it out. Foam Filter II can be grabbed and removed from the body. Wash both under running water without wringing or using hot water. Dry at room temperature away from heaters. Do not use washing machines or detergents.
Why does the motor power pulsate and the clogged inlet indicator light up?
This indicates either a clogged air inlet (e.g., full dust bag or blocked tube) when using dry mode, or a dirty foam filter or excess liquid when using wet mode. Switch off, unplug, and clear the obstruction or clean/replace filters or empty the container.
Can I use any cleaning fluid for wet cleaning?
Bosch recommends using original Bosch cleaning fluid G 500 O Tens (for carpets) and anti-foam agent G 478 Buz Defoam. Other fluids may cause excessive foaming or damage. Always test colourfastness on a hidden area before cleaning carpets.
How do I rewind the power cord?
Press the cord rewind button (located on the vacuum cleaner) while holding the plug to prevent it from whipping. Ensure the cord is not tangled. Pull the cord gently if it does not rewind fully.
Is the vacuum cleaner safe for use around children?
Children aged 8 years and above can use it under supervision. Children must not play with the appliance. Unsupervised children should not clean or maintain it. Keep plastic bags away from children to avoid suffocation.
What accessories are included with the BWD41700?
The BWD41700 includes: suction hose, telescopic suction tubes, combination brush, crevice nozzle, small nozzle, small brush, parquet brush, large and small atomizing nozzles, water pickup nozzle, and a washing set. A turbo brush is not included but can be purchased separately.

TIP

Product information and directions for use

● This appliance is intended for household use only.
- Clean the caster wheels periodically. The dirt accumulating on the caster wheels may prevent smooth rolling.
- Roll the vacuum cleaner carefully over doorsteps and uneven surfaces to prevent excessive splashing of the water inside the tank. This could result in spilling a small amount of water.

Static electricity

In the process of vacuuming of some surfaces in areas of low air humidity the device may become electrically charged. It is a natural phenomenon – it does not damage the device, and it is not considered to be a fault.

In order to minimize the phenomenon, we recommend you to:

● discharge the device by touching metal items in the room with the pipe,
- increase air humidity in the room,
use widely available antistatic agents.

Appliance features

The vacuum cleaner is designed to remove more than 2.5 litres of liquid, but it also vacuums dry surfaces and removes dust, fibres, threads and lint. The vacuum cleaner also features a wet-cleaning function by spraying and extraction, ie. by covering the surface to be cleaned with water and detergent solution, and then removing it along with the impurities by the air flow due to suction generated inside the appliance.
