When disconnecting the appliance from the mains,
pull on the plug itself to remove it; do not pull on the
power cord.
Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges or allow
it to become trapped.
When the cable is being automatically rewound, en-
sure that the mains plug is not thrown towards per-
sons, body parts, animals or objects.
= Use the mains plug to guide the power cord. >
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work
on the vacuum cleaner.
Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged.
Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is de-
tected.
For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales service
personnel are permitted to carry out repairs and fit
replacement parts to the vacuum cleaner.
Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather, moistu-
re and sources of heat.
Do not pour flammable substances or substances con-
taining alcohol onto the filters (dust bag, motor pro-
tection filter, exhaust filter, etc.).
The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on con-
struction sites.
= Vacuuming up building rubble could damage the >
appliance.
When not in use, switch off the appliance and pull out
the mains plug.
At the end of its life, the appliance should immediately
be rendered unusable, then disposed of in an appro-
priate manner.
!
Please note
The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16
amp circuit breaker.
If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the
vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electri-
cal appliances which have a high current draw are
connected to the same power circuit.
To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select
the lowest power setting before switching the ap-
pliance on, and increase the power only once it is
running.
Disposal information
Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum
cleaner from being damaged during transportation.
It is made of environmentally friendly materials and
can therefore be recycled. Dispose of packaging that
is no longer required at an appropriate recycling
point.
Old appliance
Old appliances still contain many valuable materials.
Therefore, please take appliances that have reached
the end of their service life to your retailer or recyc-
ling centre so that they can be recycled. For current
disposal methods, please enquire at a retailer or
your local council.
Disposal of filters and dust bags
Filters and dust bags are manufactured from envi-
ronmentally friendly materials. Provided they do
not contain substances that are not permitted in
household waste, you can dispose of them with your
normal household waste.
General information
Dust bags
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-
quality 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 unsuitab-
le or inferior-quality dust bags can also damage your
vacuum cleaner. Such damage is not covered by our
guarantee. You can find more information about this
at www.bosch-home.com/dust-bag. You can order
our original vacuum cleaner bags here.
