If you want to find out the date of production of a Siemens or a Bosch machine, no matter wheter it is a vacum cleaner, a washing machine, a dryer, that ist pretty easy: Look at für rating plate, there ist the so called FD number. F stands vor the German Word Fertigung. Fertigung means production. D stands vor Datum, which means date. And then comes the Trick! You have to do math. In your Case the number was FD 7601. The first two numbers indicate the year of production, the third and fourth show the month. But where comes the math? You have to add 20 to the first two numbers. In this case: 20 + 76 =96. So your cleaner was build in 1996, in month 01. January 1996. I learned this when I worked at Siemens for a holiday job in the returns Department. We had to check, how old the returned parts were. I hope this information helps you. I think it works for all household appliances fromm the Siemens group (Siemens, Bosch, Constructa, Neff...)
One week ago, my Pefectaca 83 has blessed the time forever. This device was operating in my house, week by week, since 1996! What an incedie construction...
the green light will be something to do with the optional powered brushhead. plug the powered brushhead into the cleaner and the green light will come on.
+William Anderson No, I discovered what the green light is for. It illuminates when the parking bracket on the head is inserted into the slot at the back of the cleaner when the machine is running. The motor turns off and the light comes on, going out when the nozzle is removed from the parking slot which in turn starts the motor.
Roger, that's a neat Bosch canister vacuum! That would have been a good alternative to Miele in the same time period. As for the green plug light? I have to wonder if that light could have alerted the user to having a electric hose plugged into the receptacle, since it does have the receptacle for a electric hose to run a powerhead. Or, it could have just alerted the user to the cleaner being plugged in & it just happens to be defective on the vacuum you bought.
It's something to do with the parking slot that has a microswitch to turn the cleaner on and off when parked. I recently got a similar Bosch and it does the same thing.
+delegend81 I have been thinking about it, but it is packed away at the moment. I will do a demo sometime this year, but so many more vacs to demo before I get round to the Bosch.

They're absolute beasts, I have one from 1996 as well but mine is built by Pars Khazar with Bosch parts
Made in January 1996 (FD 7601)

Great machine but i prefer the Philips at that time.
Hi are you thinking about making a review and demonstration video about this one
+delegend81 I have been thinking about it, but it is packed away at the moment. I will do a demo sometime this year, but so many more vacs to demo before I get round to the Bosch.
