- Assemble the Telescopic Tube: Connect the telescopic tube to the hose handle. Adjust the tube length to a comfortable working height by pressing the release button and extending or retracting.
- Attach the Floor Nozzle: Securely attach the universal floor nozzle to the end of the telescopic tube. Ensure it is firmly seated.

- Adjust Suction Power: Use the rotary control or slide switch (if present) on the main unit or hose handle to adjust the suction power according to the surface being cleaned. Lower settings are suitable for delicate fabrics or light cleaning, while higher settings are for carpets and heavily soiled areas.
- Floor Nozzle Adjustment: The universal floor nozzle typically has a switch to adjust between hard floor and carpet settings. Ensure the correct setting is selected for optimal cleaning performance.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner.
5.1 Replacing the Dust Bag
- Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power supply.
- Open the dust bag compartment cover.
- Carefully remove the full dust bag from its holder. Most bags have a self-closing mechanism to prevent dust leakage.
- Insert a new, genuine Bosch dust bag into the holder, ensuring it is correctly seated and sealed.
- Close the dust bag compartment cover until it clicks shut.
5.2 Cleaning the HEPA Filter
The HEPA filter should be checked regularly and replaced when heavily soiled, typically every 6-12 months depending on usage.
- Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
- Locate the HEPA filter compartment, usually at the rear or side of the appliance.
- Remove the filter. Some HEPA filters are washable; if yours is, rinse it under cold running water without detergents and allow it to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. If it's not washable, replace it with a new one.
- Reinsert the clean or new HEPA filter and close the compartment cover.
5.3 Cleaning the Nozzle and Accessories
Periodically check the floor nozzle and other accessories for blockages (e.g., hair, threads). Remove any obstructions to maintain effective suction.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your vacuum cleaner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
