During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is
recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element (for

In the event a filter bag is unavailable, the appliance can still be used for its intended
purpose by suctioning the dust through water. Make sure the Dust
/
Water container is
filled with a small amount of water, and change the water frequently. DO NOT operate
the appliance for too long without changing the water. When you notice that the water is
getting too full of dust and fuzz, throw it away and replace it with clean water. Always
empty the water container after each use.

warning that the water container is overfilled.
