2.4 Using Other Accessories
Your vacuum cleaner comes with several accessories for various cleaning tasks:
- Hard Floor Nozzle: Specifically designed for deep cleaning of floors with gaps and joints, such as tile and plank floors. Also suitable for delicate cleaning of parquet floors.
- Crevice Nozzle: Ideal for cleaning corners, crevices, and narrow spaces.
- Upholstery Nozzle: For cleaning upholstered furniture, mattresses, and cushions.
- Furniture Brush: For gentle cleaning of furniture and delicate surfaces.
These accessories can be stored in the integrated holder for convenience.
3. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.
3.1 Emptying the Dust Container
The dust container has a net capacity of 2.4 liters. Empty the dust container when the 'Sensor Control' indicator light signals that cleaning performance is reduced, or when the container is full. The container is easy to remove and empty without direct contact with dust.
3.2 Cleaning the Filter System (SelfClean System)
The Bosch BGS5335 features a fully automatic SelfClean system. This system cleans the filter automatically, minimizing maintenance effort and ensuring consistent suction power. The cartridge filter with GORE CLEANSTREAM membrane and the washable HEPA hygiene filter are designed for allergy sufferers, providing exhaust air cleaner than the ambient room air.
To manually initiate a filter cleaning cycle, press the 'SelfClean System' button on the control panel if available, or follow the instructions in the full manual for specific steps.
3.3 Cleaning the ProAnimal Turbo Brush
The ProAnimal turbo brush features an EasyClean function for simple maintenance. To clean the brush:
- Disconnect the turbo brush from the telescopic tube.
- Locate the release mechanism on the side of the brush head.
- Remove the brush roller.
- Remove any tangled hair or debris from the brush roller and the brush housing.
- Reinsert the brush roller and secure it until it clicks into place.
