Operating Considerations
The BOSCH GAS 18V-1 Filter is an integral part of your vacuum cleaner's filtration system. Proper operation of the filter involves:
- Ensuring the filter is always installed before operating the vacuum cleaner.
- Monitoring the vacuum cleaner's suction power; a decrease may indicate a clogged filter requiring cleaning or replacement.
- Avoiding vacuuming liquids or extremely fine dust without appropriate pre-filters, as this can prematurely clog the main filter.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your filter ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner. The BOSCH GAS 18V-1 Filter is designed to be reusable.
- Frequency: Inspect the filter regularly, especially after heavy use. Clean the filter when visible dust accumulation is present or when suction power decreases.
- Cleaning Method:
- Gently tap the filter against a hard surface to dislodge loose dust. Perform this outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
- For more thorough cleaning, rinse the filter under cool running water. Do not use hot water or detergents.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstallation. Do not use heat sources (e.g., hair dryer, oven) to dry the filter, as this can damage the material.
- Replacement: Replace the filter if it shows signs of damage (tears, holes) or if cleaning no longer restores adequate suction power. Bosch recommends replacing the filter annually or as needed based on usage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced suction power | Clogged or dirty filter | Clean or replace the filter as per maintenance instructions. |
| Dust escaping from vacuum | Filter not installed correctly or damaged | Ensure the filter is seated properly. Inspect for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Filter does not fit | Incorrect filter model | Verify that you have the correct BOSCH 2 608 000 664 filter for your GAS 18V-1 vacuum cleaner. |
