OPERATION

DRY VACUUM CLEANING

 

 WARNING

It is absolutely necessary for you to read, understand, 

and  observe  the  “Safety  Information  and  Warnings” 

section.

 

Never vacuum up hazardous materials. If an incorrect 

dust bag is used, then the guarantee becomes void.

 

Make sure that the appliance is not plugged into the 

power mains.

 

Make  sure  that  the  foam  filter  is  clean  and  dry  and 

installed over the filter basket. See figure 13.

 

Slide  the  dust  bag  over  the  hose  connection  in  the 

tank. Press it until it snaps firmly into place.

 

In  the  process,  make  sure  that  the  dust  bag  is  not 

damaged. See figures 14 - 15.

 

Place the upper section on the tank once again and 

close the clamps. See figures 8 - 9.

 

Place the large end of the hose on the front air intake 

stub on the tank. See figure 10.

 

Select  the  desired  nozzle  or  the tube; 

connect it to the vacuum hose. See figure 11.

 

Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the appliance is 

in the “OFF” position (position “0”) before you plug the 

power plug into the receptacle.

 

Plug the power plug into the receptacle.

 

Switch the motor on (ON/OFF switch in position “l”).

 

When you have finished vacuuming, switch the motor 

off  by  putting  the  ON/OFF  switch  into  the  “OFF” 

position (position “O”).

 

Unplug the power plug.

 

Check the dust bag regularly and change it when it is 

2/3 full. The bag is designed such that only air, and no 

dust, can pass through the paper. Therefore a used 

dust bag may not be reused.

NOTE:

 Don’t use the dust bag for vacuuming up objects 

with sharp edges or wet objects.

CARTRIDGE FILTER (NON WASHABLE)

 

When  using  the  cartridge  filter,  no  dust  bag  is 

necessary.

 

Place the cartridge filter on the filter basket from the 

top, turn on the cartridge filter cap. See figure 18.

 

After extended use, it can be cleaned by tapping out 

or brushing out.

WET VACUUM CLEANING

 

 WARNING

It is absolutely necessary for you to read, understand, 

and  observe  the  “Safety  Information  and  Warnings” 

section.

NOTE:

 Never vacuum up hazardous materials.

 

Make sure that the appliance is not plugged into the 

power mains.

 

Check to make sure that the tank is free of dust and 

dirt.

 

Remove  the  dust  bag  and  only  leave  the  foam  filter 

over the filter basket. See figure 16.

 

Place the upper section on the tank once again and 

close the clamps. See figures 8 - 9.

 

Place the large end of the hose on the front air intake 

stub on the tank. See figure 10.

 

Select a nozzle or the telescopic tube and slide it over 

the suction tube. See figure 11.

 

Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the appliance is 

in the “OFF” position (position “0”) before you plug the 

power plug into the receptacle.

 

Plug the power plug into the receptacle.

 

Switch the motor on (ON/OFF switch in position “l”).

 

When  you  have  finished  wet  vacuuming,  switch  the 

motor off by putting the ON/OFF switch into the “OFF” 

position (position “0”).

 

Unplug the power plug.

 

After use, empty and dry the tank.

TIP:

  If  you  want  to  vacuum  up  a  large  quantity  of 

liquid from a sink or a tank, please don’t put the entire 

suction nozzle in the liquid; rather leave a little space 

so that some air can also be drawn in along with the 

liquid.

 

The appliance is equipped with a float switch that will 

stop the vacuuming when the tank is full. In this event, 

switch the appliance off and unplug it.

 

Be aware that the full tank can be very heavy. In this 

event, place the appliance over a drain and carefully 

open the outlet screw. The contents of the tank can 

now drain out to a great extent. See figure 17.

 

Now, remove the upper section from the tank and pour 

the rest of the liquid into a suitable tank or drain. Then, 

you can continue vacuuming after you have replaced 

the upper section.

 

After  wet  vacuuming,  switch  off  the  appliance  and 

unplug it. Empty the container and clean/dry it inside 

and outside before putting it away.
