We therefore recommend that you only use our origi-
nal dust bags.
Your appliance is a highly efficient vacuum cleaner
that achieves excellent cleaning results when used
with high-quality dust bags. Only by using high-quali-
ty dust bags (such as Bosch original dust bags) can
you ensure that your vacuum cleaner is working at
the energy efficiency class, dust pick-up rate and
dust retention capacity listed on its EU energy label.
The use of inferior-quality dust bags (e.g. paper
bags) can have a negative effect on the service life
and performance of your appliance. Using unsuitable
or inferior-quality dust bags can also damage your
vacuum cleaner. Such damage is not covered by our
guarantee.
