some air can also be drawn in along with the liquid.
The appliance is equipped with a float switch (5) (Fig. 18)
that will stop the vacuuming when the tank is full. You
will notice that suction has stopped by the motor now
running faster. In this event, switch the appliance off and
unplug it.
Be aware that the full tank can be very heavy.
Remove the cap from the drain outlet (21) and pour the
rest of the liquid into a suitable tank or drain. Then, you
can continue vacuuming after you have replaced the
drain outlet cap.
After wet vacuuming, switch off the appliance and un-
plug it. Empty the container and clean/dry it inside and
outside before putting it away.
IMPORTANT! After wet vacuuming, please proceed as
described in the section entitled „Dry Vacuum cleaning"
before you dry vacuum again.

VI - Maintenance
▪ Make sure that the appliance is not plugged into the
power mains.
▪ Remove the suction hose (13) from the tank.
▪ Loosen the clamps (Fig.1) and separate the upper
section from the tank (Fig.2).
▪ Remove all the dirt and residue from the tank and the
hose.
▪ Clean the foam plastic filter (19) by washing it with a
mild detergent.
▪ Check the hoses and connections and check the
power cord for any damage.
▪ When the foam plastic filter (19) is removed, check the
float (5). To do this, take the upper section by the han-
dle and tip it carefully so that the filter basket is facing
upwards. The float should move freely up and down
(Fig.18).

cleaning agent. Never use caustic agents to clean
plastic parts.
WARNING: Water must never come into
contact with the electric appliance.
