Without a nozzle
Liquids can be directly vacuumed out of
containers using the vacuuming hose, the
vacuuming pipe or the groove nozzle.
Remove these parts from the liquid prior to
switching off the appliance to ensure that the
vacuuming pipe is vacuumed clean.
0 Exercise caution when vacuuming from containers e.g. bowls whose
liquid level is higher and whose contents is larger than the capacity of
the dust container; in such an event, if the dust container is full and
the flotation valve has therefore closed, liquid will continue to flow up
in accordance with the siphoning principle. For this reason, in such
cases only vacuum up a portion of the total amount and empty the
dust container at intervals.
When the dust container’s maximum capacity has been attained, this
can be heard by the higher-pitched sound made by the motor, and no
more liquid will be extracted. Then immediately switch off the
appliance and empty the dust container.
If the appliance tips over while wet vacuuming, first right the appliance
while the motor is still running and then switch off the motor. After a
short while, when the flotation ball has dropped back to its normal
position, the motor can be switched on again.
Caution: Petrol, thinner, heating oil and other flammable liquids can
form explosive vapours or mixes due to turbulence with the vacuum air.
Acetone, acids and solvents can corrode the materials used to construct
the appliance.
Water used for cleaning and dirty water containing commercially
available household detergents can be vacuumed up without any cause
for concern.
