Contents:
- 4 dust bags with fasteners

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.

Caution:
Floor nozzles are subject to a certain amount of
wear, depending on the type of hard floors you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). You must therefore check
the underside of the floor nozzle at regular intervals.
Worn undersides of floor nozzles may have sharp
edges that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as
parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not ac-
cept any responsibility for damage caused by worn
floor nozzles.
