Electrical connections
Note
The voltage indicated on the type plate must corre-
spond to the voltage of the electrical source.
Safety class I - Appliances may only be connected
to sockets with proper earthing.
While working with fluids (such as detergents), we
recommend the use of a safe socket with overcur-
rent protection switch (max. 30 mA).
Please use the mains cable prescribed by the man-
ufacturer; the same is also applicable when you re-
place the cables. See Operating Instructions
Manual for Order Number and Type.
Check the power cord with mains plug for damage
before every use. If the power cord is damaged,
please arrange immediately for the exchange by an
authorized customer service or a skilled electrician.
The appliance may only be connected to an electri-
cal supply which has been installed by an electrician
in accordance with IEC 60364.
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
Make sure that the power cord or extension cables
are not damaged by running over, pinching, ragging
or similar. Protect the cable from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
The power cord must be checked regularly for dam-
ages, such as cracks or aging. If damage is found,
the cable must be replaced before further use.
If couplings of the power cord or extension cable are
replace the splash protection and the mechanical
tightness must be ensured.
Do not clean the appliance with a water hose or
high-pressure water jet (danger of short circuits or
other damage).
ATTENTION
Operating procedures create short term power sink-
ings.
During unfavorable net conditions other devices
might be disturbed.
With a net impedance lower then 0.15 Ohm no dis-
turbances are to be expected.
Application
DANGER
Appliances with working equipment, specifically the
power cord and the extension cable, must be
checked to ensure that it is in proper working order
and is operating safely prior to use. Otherwise, im-
mediately pull out the power plug. The appliance
must not be used.
The water level limiter must be cleaned regularly
and checked for signs of damage.
Never spray and vacuum up explosive liquids, com-
bustible gases, explosive dusts as well as undiluted
acids and solvents! This includes petrol, paint thin-
ner or heating oil which can generate explosive
fumes or mixtures upon contact with the suction air.

must be observed. It is not allowed to use the appli-
ance in hazardous locations.
Only use cleaners recommended by the manufac-
turer and comply with their application, disposal and
warning guidelines.
Do not use the recommended detergents in an un-
