in the collecting bin and replacing the motor
block (2).
Operate the spray-system on a smooth floor or
over the sink.

the dismantled parts to dry thoroughly.

Care and maintenance

Always pull out the plug before cleaning the appliance!
Never immerse the motor block in water!
Clean the motor block casing and collecting bin with a
moist cloth and wipe dry.
If there is a reduction in suction power, change the
paper filter.
If necessary, the collecting bin can be washed out with
water. Ensure that the bin is completely dry before
using again.
Rinse out the collecting bin and all accessories used
with warm, soapy water after wet vacuuming
(particularly sticky liquids). Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents!

If unexpected difficulties arise

Before contacting your dealer, check whether the fault
is due to one of the following minor causes:
Dust escaping from suction socket:
Are the foam and protective paper filters correctly
positioned and undamaged?
Have you used the correct original filters?
Gradual reduction in suction power:
Is the collecting bin full?
Are the pores of the filter clogged up by dust or
soot?
Is the paper filter bag full?
Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube or
flexible hose? (Stretch the flexible hose while the
appliance is switched on - this will loosen the
obstruction.)
Is the protective motor filter dirty?
Sudden reduction in suction power:
Has the float stopped the flow of air? This can
happen if the appliance is standing at a slant or if
the appliance falls over. Turn off the vacuum
18
cleaner - the float will fall back into place - the
appliance is ready for use again.
The motor does not function:
Has the fuse blown?
Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or socket?
Pull out the plug before checking!
Never open the motor yourself!
Cleaning solution does not flow out:
Clean the filter mesh at the end of the cleaning
solution tube (37).
Is the pump switched on?
(The pilot lamp [6] should be lit up.)
Is there cleaning solution in the extraction liquid
tank?
Is the cleaning solution tube dangling freely into the
extraction liquid tank?
Is the delivery tube nozzle blocked?
(In this case, unscrew the cap nut and place the
nozzle in water for a time. Subsequently, blow
vigorously through the nozzle. When replacing the
nozzle, ensure that the jet spray opening stands
parallel to the suction tube.)
For the sake of the environment, please
note:
Do not simply throw away packing materials and
discarded appliances, but bring them to a recycling
depot.
Details about the appropriate recycling depot or the
nearest collection point can be obtained from your
local council offices.
Normal house dust can be disposed of along with
household rubbish.
Only cleaning agents which have been diluted with
water may be disposed of in the sewage system.
If the cleaning agent is in concentrated form, it must be
properly disposed of at the nearest recycling center or
at the next hazardous waste collection center.
