Maintenance and service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or per-
u
forming maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making
tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting
away the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents
the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the dust extractor and the ventilation slots clean.
Wear a dust mask when servicing and cleaning the va-
u
cuum cleaner.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
Cleaning/replacing the filter (see figures F1–F4)
The suction power is dependent on the condition of the fil-
ter. Therefore, the filter should be cleaned regularly.
Replace any damaged filters immediately.
– Open the catches (8) and remove the top part of the dust
extractor (7).
– Remove the textile filter (32) from the filter (33) and tap
it repeatedly to remove dirt.
– Turn the filter holder (34) as far as it will go in the direc-
tion of rotation and remove the filter (33) from the
container (1).
– Brush the pleats of the filter with a soft brush
or
replace the filter if damaged.
– Place the filter (33) over the filter basket (35) and turn
the filter holder (34) as far as it will go in the direction of
rotation .
Make sure that the opening of the filter (33) is lined up
precisely with the positioning cam on the filter
basket (35). The filter holder (34) clicks into place.
– Place the textile filter (32) over the filter (33). Make sure
that the textile filter (32) covers the filter (33) com-
pletely and the elasticated edge is slotted in the groove
between the filter and the housing.
– Replace the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7) and close
the catches (8).
Cleaning the container
– Wipe the container (1) from time to time using a non-ab-
rasive off-the-shelf cleaning product and leave it to dry.
Cleaning the Permanent Filter (see figure G)
Clean the permanent filter (36) from time to time in order to
ensure that the dust extractor continues to perform optim-
ally.
Bosch Power Tools
– Open the exhaust air cover (26) and remove the perman-
ent filter (36).
– Rinse the permanent filter (36) under running water and
then leave it to dry.
– Reinsert the cleaned filters, ensuring that they are posi-
tioned correctly and securely. Close the exhaust air
cover (26) again.
Faults
If the suction power is insufficient, check:
– Is the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7) positioned cor-
rectly?
– Is the hose system blocked?
– Are the suction tubes (20) firmly joined together?
– Is the container (1) full?
– Is the dust bag (29) full?
– Are the filters clogged with dust?
If the dust extractor overheats, it will switch off. Proceed as
follows:
– Leave the dust extractor to cool down for 60 mins.
– Remove the mains plug from the plug socket and insert it
back into the plug socket.
– Ensure that the container (1) and dust bag (29) are
empty and that the vacuum hose (16), filter (33) and per-
manent filter (36) are not clogged.
Regularly emptying the container (1) will ensure optimum
suction power.
If sufficient suction power is not achieved after following
these steps, please contact a Bosch customer service agent.
Storage and transport (see figure H)
– Insert the suction tubes (20) into the holders (14).
– Wrap the vacuum hose (16) around the top part of the va-
cuum cleaner and place in the holders (11), put the end
of the vacuum hose in one of the two (11).
– Wrap the power cable around the cable holder (37).
– Attach the retaining strap (38) to the cable holders (37).
– Insert the curved nozzle (18) or the extraction
adapter (17) into the holder (15).
– Insert the crevice nozzle (19) into the holder (12).
– Insert the floor nozzle (21) into the holder (13).
