Wet-vacuuming
Never use this cleaner to vacuum explosive
liquids, acids or solvents.
• The paper filter bag must be removed before
using the cleaner for wet-vacuuming.
• The cartridge or fabric filter must remain in the
unit. Let it dry out before using it again for dry
vacuuming.
• If the container is full, the float closes the inlet,
the suction power is reduced, and the suction
motor runs at a higher speed. When this
happens, switch off and unplug the cleaner
from the mains electricity.
• Hold the hose up high to allow any liquid to flow
into the container.
• Cleaning can be continued as soon as the
container has been emptied.
Emptying the container
• Release the container clips, lift off the
vacuuming assembly, and lay it on its side.
• Within a short period of time wet dirt will start to
decay, therefore empty the container after each
use, and rinse it out with clean water.
