Information on accessories and spare parts can be
found at www.kaercher.com.

Dry vacuuming

ATTENTION

Vacuuming cold ashes

Device damage
Only vacuum cold ash with an ash pre-separator.

ATTENTION

Defective or wet foam filter / cartridge filter

Device damage
Before starting up, check the foam filter / cartridge filter
for damage, and replace it if necessary. Only vacuum
with a dry foam filter / cartridge filter.

Depending on the equipment variant, a foam filter or a
cartridge filter is included.



For devices with a foam filter: Always use the filter
bag in addition to the foam filter when dry vacuum-
ing.



For devices with a cartridge filter: Always use the fil-
ter bag in addition to the cartridge filter when vacu-
uming fine dust.

Note

Replace the filter bag in good time, as a filter bag that is
too full could be damaged. The fill degree of the filter
bag depends on the amount of dirt vacuumed. The filter
bag should be replaced more frequently when vacuum-
ing fine dust, sand, etc.

Wet vacuuming

ATTENTION

Wet vacuuming with a filter bag

Device damage
Do not use a filter bag when vacuuming wet.

ATTENTION

Operation with full container

When the container is full, a float switch closes the suc-
tion opening and the device runs at a higher speed.
Switch off the device immediately and empty the con-
tainer.

Note

If the device falls over, the float can also close. To make
the device capable of vacuuming again, set up the de-
vice, switch it off, wait 5 seconds and then switch it on
again.
