15. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conversion when going from dry to wet pick up. Wet pick up
requires the foam sleeve to be in position over the lid cage. Do not use the reusable dry filter for wet pick up. Misting in exhaust air may occur if the foam
sleeve becomes saturated during wet pick up. If misting occurs, remove and dry the saturated foam sleeve or replace with another dry foam sleeve to elimi-
nate the misting and possible dripping of liquid around the lid. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and ready
to be emptied. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. The interior of the tank should be periodically cleaned.
16. The foam sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
a. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover. Place tank cover in an upside down position. Remove foam sleeve
by sliding it up and off the lid cage.
b. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
c. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside. A water wash is not always required, depending on the condition of
the foam sleeve.
d. Gently wring out excess water, blot foam sleeve with a clean towel, and allow to dry. The foam sleeve is now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage.
noTe:
WET PICK UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET, STICKY KITCHEN ACCIDENTS.
THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.

over the foam sleeve for dry pick up.
WARning:
KEEP FILTERS CLEAN.
EFFICIENCY OF THE VACUUM IS LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE FILTER. A CLOGGED FILTER CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE
THE CLEANER. CHECK THE FILTER PERIODICALLY AND REPLACE AS REqUIRED.
noTe:
Ensure that the mounting ring is completely secure and in position by pressing down firmly around the ring in several places. Be sure the reusable dry
disc filter completely covers the foam sleeve. Check to ensure that all edges of the reusable dry filter are secure under the mounting ring.
