This appliance has been designed for use in private
households and is not intended for commercial use.
The appliance is intended for use as a dry vacuum
cleaner corresponding to the descriptions given in these
operating instructions and the safety notes.

–
Use this appliance only with a filled water filter con-
tainer.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage that may
occur on account of improper use or wrong operation.
The three-step filter system of the water filter vacuum
cleaner, which consists of a water filter, an intermediate
filter and a HEPA filter, retains 99.95%* / 99.5%** of all
particles above 0.3 μm vacuumed up. The outgoing air
is fresh and cleaned. As the water in the water filter
binds the dirt particles, no dust is raised upon draining
the water. Therefore, this appliance is also suitable for
individuals suffering from allergies.
