IMPORTANT!
When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction action when the container reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an increase in the pitch of motor sound. When this happens, turn of the machine, disconnect from power supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable receptac le or drain.To continue vacuuming, refit the container w ith the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug fro.m power supply. Empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.
