Commissioning/ Operations

Caution! When the water tank is filled,
the appliance may only be operated in
the horizontal position. Prior to moving
the appliance into the upright position,
the water tank must be drained. Other-
wise the floor can be damaged.
Note
Should the mains fuse trip upon switching
on the appliance, it could be due to the fact
that other electronic devices are simultane-
ously connected and operated on the same
electric circuit. Refer to chapter "Technical
data" for mains fuse.
The appliance will shut down automatically
if there is risk of overheating. Turn the ap-
pliance off and pull the power plug. Replace
the HEPA filter. After the elimination of the
disturbance, allow the appliance to cool
down for a at least 1 hour; then the appli-
ance is ready for operation again.
Connect accessories
Illustration
 Connect suction hose to the appliance.
 Connect the handle to the telescopic
vacuum pipe and attach the floor noz-
zle.
Illustration
 Activate the release and extend or re-
tract the interior pipe to the desired
length.
Note: Adjust the telescoping pipe
matching your height so that you will be
able to work comfortably while walking
upright.

Fill the water filter reservoir
Caution
Do not use the device if the water filter con-
tainer is empty!
When the appliance is delivered, the inter-
mediate filter and the baffle plate are al-
ready installed. When filling, make sure that
these components are installed properly
(see: SCOPE OF DELIVERY). This could
be the cause of poor vacuuming perfor-
mance or untimely failure of the intermedi-
ate filter (see: FINISH OPERATION).
Illustration
 Open the appliance flap and remove
the defoamer liquid (FoamStop) as well
as the water filter container.
Illustration
 Remove the lid from the water filter con-
tainer and take out the baffle plate, then
fill the water filter container with tap wa-
ter until the level settles between the
MIN and MAX markings (approx. 1.7 l)!
Illustration
 Add one cap full of the defoaming liquid
(FoamStop) to the water filter reservoir.
Note: The functioning of the vacuum
cleaner is based on the whirling of the
suction air in the water filter. In the pro-
cess, sucked-in materials and deposits
of cleaning agents from floors get col-
lected in the water bath. This can some-
times lead to the formation of foam. It is
necessary to add a capful of the de-
foamer liquid to the water bath to avoid
this situation. Slight foam formation is
normal and does not hamper the func-
tioning of the machine.
Illustration
 Note: Please refill water as soon as the
water level in the reservoir sinks below
the MIN mark.
Insert the baffle plate and reattach the
lid of the water filter container. Install
the complete water filter container in the
appliance.
