Model 3400:
The vacuum head (1) is equipped with a floater which stops the air flow when
the water has reached its maximum level in the vacuum drum (5). The appliance looses
suction power and there is a change in the noise of the motor.
Model 3400S:
Also on this model, equipped with a separator, there is a loss in suction power
and a change in the noise of the motor when the water has reached its maximum level in the
vacuum drum (5).
(i) Turn off the vacuum power switch (2) and unplug the power cord (3). Lift the vacuum head
(1) from the vacuum drum (5) by releasing the latches (6) and empty the drum making sure to
have detached the vacuum hose (24) before. If necessary rince the drum and refill it as
described in step (b) of this section.
(j) When the red "low water" indicator (14) lights up, turn off the main power switch (13) of the
boiler and unplug the power cord (23) from the main current. Wait until the residual pressure

Warning:
the boiler
cap, for safety purposes, does not permit removal with pressure inside the boiler.
