Dust Bag Replacement:
The vacuum cleaner uses a 3.5-liter dust bag. Replace the dust bag when the dust bag indicator (if present) signals it is full, or when suction power noticeably decreases. Always use genuine Bosch replacement dust bags.
- Switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet.
- Open the dust bag compartment cover (refer to Figure 2 for location).
- Carefully remove the full dust bag, ensuring the opening is sealed to prevent dust leakage.
- Insert a new dust bag, making sure it is correctly seated in the holder.
- Close the dust bag compartment cover until it clicks securely.
Filter Maintenance:
The appliance is equipped with a HEPA filter and a motor protection filter. Check these filters regularly and clean or replace them as recommended in the full user manual (not provided here). A clean filter is crucial for maintaining suction power and air quality.
- Motor Protection Filter: Typically located near the dust bag compartment. Clean or replace as needed.
- Exhaust Filter (HEPA): Located at the rear or side of the appliance. Replace this filter periodically to ensure optimal exhaust air filtration.
General Cleaning:
- Wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
