PLEASE NOTE
We therefore recommend that you only
use our original 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

vacuum cleaner is working at the energy
effici
ency class, dust pick-up rate and
dust retention capacity listed on its EU

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.

Rugs and carpets =>

If you are vacuuming up relatively
large particles, make sure that you
vacuum them up successively and
carefully to ensure that the vacuum
channel of the floor tool does not
become blocked. If necessary, you
should raise the nozzl
e in order to
better vacuum up the dirt particles.
9
! Please note:
Floor tools are subject to a certain
amount of wear, depending on the
type of hard floor you have (e.g.
rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you
must check the underside of the floor
tool at regular intervals. Worn under-
sides of floor tools may have sharp
edges that can damage sensitive hard
floors, such as parquet or linoleum.
The manufacturer does not accept
any responsibility for damage caused
by worn floor tools.
