Product Information
Full details
The Bosch Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner - PAS30-240PRS is designed for users who need robust cleaning power for both wet and dry messes in workshops, garages, or around the home. Its key benefit is its versatile 1,300 W motor with 240 mbar suction, capable of handling tough debris and liquids with sustained performance. A potential caveat is its 30L container, which may be large for very small spaces or frequent emptying of small amounts of debris.

FAQs
Can this vacuum cleaner be used for fine dust like drywall dust?
Yes, the PAS30-240PRS is designed for both wet and dry dirt, including fine dust. However, for optimal performance and filter longevity when dealing with large amounts of fine dust, it's recommended to perform the semi-automatic filter cleaning frequently and consider using the fleece bag.
How do I switch between wet and dry vacuuming?
For dry vacuuming, ensure the fleece bag is installed and the flat pleated filter is in place. For wet vacuuming, remove the fleece bag and ensure the flat pleated filter is installed and dry. No filter changes are needed between wet and dry tasks.
What is the purpose of the semi-automatic filter cleaning?
The semi-automatic filter cleaning function helps to dislodge dust and debris from the flat pleated filter, restoring optimal suction power and extending the filter's life without the need for manual removal and cleaning every time.
How does the UniversalAdapter work with power tools?
The UniversalAdapter allows the vacuum cleaner to be connected to compatible power tools. When the tool is switched on, it triggers the vacuum cleaner to start automatically (auto-start) via a wired connection, ensuring dust is captured at the source. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity for wireless triggering with compatible tools.
What is included in the box?
The package typically includes the PAS30-240PRS vacuum cleaner, 2x extension pipes, 1x suction hose (2.2 m), 1x handle pipe, 1x floor nozzle, 1x crevice nozzle, 1x fleece bag, 1x flat pleated filter, 1x UniversalAdapter, and 1x Remote.
How often should I clean or replace the filter?
The semi-automatic cleaning function should be used regularly, especially when suction decreases. Inspect the filter for damage during cleaning. It's advisable to replace the filter if it appears worn, torn, or if suction power cannot be restored even after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
No suction power
Check if the fleece bag is full or if the filter is clogged. Perform the semi-automatic filter cleaning. Ensure the hose and nozzles are not blocked. Verify the correct filter is installed for the type of debris (wet/dry).
Vacuum won't turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position. Test the outlet with another appliance.
Weak suction after filter cleaning
The semi-automatic cleaning may not be fully effective for heavily clogged filters. Manually inspect and clean the filter if possible, or consider replacing it if it is old or damaged.
Water not being vacuumed effectively
Ensure the fleece bag is removed for wet vacuuming. Check that the flat pleated filter is correctly seated and dry. Do not exceed the maximum fill level of the 30L container.
Auto-start function not working
Confirm the UniversalAdapter is correctly connected to both the vacuum and the power tool. Ensure the power tool is compatible. Check Bluetooth connection if applicable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Unpack all components.
- Attach the desired nozzle (floor or crevice) to the suction hose.
- Connect the suction hose to the vacuum inlet.
- For dry vacuuming, ensure the flat pleated filter is correctly installed. For wet vacuuming, remove the fleece bag and ensure the filter is dry.
- Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
Compatibility:
- The UniversalAdapter is designed to connect to power tools with a dust extraction port. Check your power tool's specifications for compatibility.
- Bluetooth connectivity requires a compatible Bluetooth-enabled tool or remote control.
Care and Maintenance:
- Filter Cleaning: After each dry vacuuming task, or when suction power decreases, initiate the semi-automatic filter cleaning by pressing the button firmly for a few seconds. This dislodges dust from the filter, restoring suction.
- Emptying the Container: For dry debris, use the included fleece bag. For wet messes, remove the bag. Empty the 30L container regularly by tilting it and disposing of the contents. Rinse the container with water if necessary and ensure it is completely dry before re-installing for dry use.
- Filter Maintenance: Inspect the flat pleated filter periodically for damage. Clean it gently as per the semi-automatic function. Replace the filter if it shows signs of wear or damage.
- Hose and Nozzle Cleaning: Detach and clean the suction hose and nozzles with water. Ensure they are dry before re-attaching.
- Storage: Store the vacuum cleaner and accessories in a dry, protected area.
