Wet Vacuuming

 CAUTION! This appliance is not suitable for picking up
hazardous dust. Do not vacuum inflammable or explo-
sive fluids; for example, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents.
Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not operate the
machine in rooms where the danger of an explosion ex-
ists. The dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or explode.
 The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a water pump.
The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming air and wa-
ter mixtures.
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
Note: Before wet vacuuming, the dust bag 14 must be re-
moved and the container 5 must be emptied.
– The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a float 12. When the
maximum filling height is reached, the vacuum cleaner
switches off. Set the On/Off switch 9 to position "0" and
empty the container 5.
– After vacuuming, remove the permanent filter 11 to pre-
vent the forming of mould and allow it to dry thoroughly;
especially before using it for dry vacuuming.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the vacuum
cleaner and ventilation slots clean.
Bosch Power Tools
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
Removing/Replacing the Permanent Filter (see figure C)
– To maintain the optimum performance of the vacuum
cleaner, clean the permanent filter 11 by brushing off or
rinsing with water after each use.
– The permanent filter 11 can be replaced, if required. Cut
through the band at the soiled permanent filter 11 and re-
move the inserted plastic basket 15. Press the plastic bas-
ket 15 firmly into the new permanent filter 11.
Container
– Wipe out the container 5 from time to time with a commer-
cially available, non-scouring cleaning agent and allow to
dry.
Malfunctions
In the case of insufficient vacuuming performance, check the
following:
– Is the vacuum lid 10 attached properly?
– Is the hose system clogged?
– Are the extension tubes connected firmly?
– Is the container 5 full?
– Is the dust bag 14 full?
– Is the permanent filter 11 clogged with dust?
Emptying at regular intervals ensures optimum vacuuming
performance.
If the vacuuming performance is not achieved thereafter, take
the vacuum cleaner to customer service.
