Basic Vacuum Procedures
m
WARNING!
Do not vacuum drywall dust, fireplace soot
or ash with the unit. This is very fine dust which will not be
captured by the filter and may cause damage to motor.
m
WARNING!
The foam filter must be used for wet
vacuuming, and make sure to clean the foam filter after wet
vacuuming.
• Place the equipment on a level surface that is not heat
sensitive.
• Always use the suction hose for vacuuming. Hold the
suction hose at a distance of approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm)
above the material to be vacuumed.
m
WARNING!
When vacuuming large quantities of liquids,
do not immerse the brush attachment completely in the liquid;
leave a gap at the tip of the brush attachment opening to allow
air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the
suction action when the collection tank reaches its maximum
capacity. You will notice a decrease in motor speed. When
this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power
supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain.
To continue vacuuming, refit the collection tank with the power
head.
• To prevent overheating of the motor, stop the unit for one
minute after every 15 minutes of using.
• Turn off and unplug the unit after vacuuming, before
cleaning and maintenance. After wet vacuuming, empty
the collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside
before storage.
• Empty the tank outside in order to avoid a mess.
• Clean or change the filters (see Maintenance section) if the
suction performance deteriorates. Never use the appliance
without the filter.
