Picking up liquids
Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag. Check that the float works properly. If foam
develops or liquid emerges, stop work immediately and empty the dirt tank.
Cleaning the filter element
If suction performance drops:
1. Switching on the vacuum cleaner.
2. Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm of your hand.
3. Press the button to start filter cleaning for at least three times for two seconds each. The resulting
stream of air removes attached dust from the slats of the filter elements.
4. If the suction power is too low after filter cleaning: replace filter.

Blower function
The cleaner has a blower function to clean inaccessible places or to dry the surface of wet items.
Do not direct the air into rooms in an uncontrolled manner. When using the blower function, always
use a clean hose. Stirred-up dust can be hazardous to health. Do not use the blower function in closed
rooms.
