Cleaning and care of the AQUA filter
system
For reasons of hygiene, empty, clean
and dry the AQUAFILTER system the
waterfiltercartridge and the collecting
bin after each use. Dirty water and
damp parts will promote the growth of
bacteria and mildew.
Clean the waterfiltercartridge – according to how dirty
it is – with clear water, without adding any detergents
or cleaning fluids. Please make sure that the filter is
completely dry before next using the vacuum cleaner.
Wet vacuuming
Keep the float valve (40, fig. P) clean and
accessible at all times. It automatically interrupts
vacuuming when the collecting bin is full.
When vacuuming out containers in which the liquid
level is higher than the top of the collecting bin and
which have a larger volume than the capacity of the
collecting bin, liquid can continue to be vacuumed
beyond the capacity of the collecting bin if the float
valve is closed.
In such cases, vacuum only in partial amounts and
intermittently empty the collecting bin.
Lift the tube and flexible hose out of the liquid first
and then turn off the appliance afterwards, in order to
prevent an afterflow of liquid.
A Open the snap-on fasteners and lift the motor
block.
Remove the filters from the appliance, because
they will otherwise be damaged
(figures C and D).
If the cleaning fluid tank is fitted, remove it
(figure H).
F Place the motor block onto the collecting bin and
snap shut with snap-on fasteners.
Connect the mains cable.
G Connect flexible hose. Remove the hose by
turning the hose connecting piece to the side and
withdrawing the hose.
M
Close the suction power control (11) on the
handle.
K Switch on the appliance with the On/Off (6)
switch.
The pump switch (7) must not light up.
After completion of wet vacuuming, please clean
and dry the appliance and the accessories used.
Spray extraction (shampooing) of
carpets and hard floor coverings
Shampoo only carpets which can be cleaned wet.
Fine, hand-woven or non-colour-fast carpets
should not be shampooed.
If the carpet has been shampooed before, it is
possible that you will obtain a great deal of foam
when you use THOMAS PRESTIGE for the first
time.
If this is the case, switch off the appliance and
empty the collecting bin.
Thereafter, in order to prevent excess foam, put
1
⁄
2
cup of vinegar into the collecting bin.
Excess foaming will not occur after you have
thoroughly cleaned the carpet once with
THOMAS cleaning concentrate, because it
contains a special anti-foam substance.
Ensure that there is always liquid in
the fresh water container when the
spraying function is switched on, in
order to avoid possible damage to the
pump.
Carpet cleaning
A Open the snap-on fasteners and lift the motor
block.
H
Remove the lid of the cleaning fluid tank and fill
the tank with THOMAS ProTex Cleaning Fluid.
See the bottle label for dosage instructions.
Use only lukewarm (max. 30 °C) water.
Replace the lid and insert the filled cleaning fluid
tank into the appliance.
E
Take the suction hose for cleaning fluid out of its
holder on the motor block.
I Place the motor block onto the collecting bin such
that the suction hose (36) is immersed all the way
to the bottom of the cleaning fluid tank and is not
bent.
G Connect flexible hose. Remove the hose by
turning the hose connecting piece to the side and
withdrawing the hose.
J Insert the cut-off valve into its receptacle on the
suction tube. Snap the handle into the suction
tube and fasten the cleaning fluid hose to the
flexible hose by means of the plastic clips.
K Snap the cleaning fluid hose into the quick
coupling on the motor block.
L Fit the carpet spray extraction nozzle onto the
