Initial Operation
Before plugging in the device, check that the rated mains voltage and mains
frequency, as specified on the rating label, match your power supply.
Australia: Always use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply
with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
6.1 Assembly
Insert the guide roller axles (8) until they engage Fig. A. Fit the wheels (9)
and secure with screws (place a shim under the screw head) Fig. B.
Fit the pipe support (10) until it clicks into place, as shown (for ASA 32 L
only) Fig. C.
6.2 Fitting the pleated filter
Fig. D+E: Fit the pleated filter (11) on the housing as far as the limit
stop and secure by twisting the bayonet fitting (12).
6.3 Inserting the paper filter bag
Paper filter bags (13) are not suitable for wet vacuuming. Switch off the
appliance, remove the mains plug and open the snap locks (3). Remove the upper
part (1) from the container (4). Push the paper filter bag together with its
cardboard tab into the filter bag holder located on the suction piece (inside
the container) Fig. F.
Adjust the paper filter bag (13) so that it is flush with the container wall
and is not damaged when you replace the upper part. Remove the paper filter
bag if you want to vacuum coarser materials or liquids.

Use
8.1 Dry Vacuuming
Vacuum using a dry filter, dry appliance and dry accessories only. If the
cartridge is damp, dust may stick and form a crust. Always use the paper
filter bag (13) with the pleated filter (11).
8.2 Wet vacuuming
** Never operate the machine without inserting a pleated filter (11). The
machine may be destroyed and water may also escape.
Vacuum without a paper filter (13) bag. The pleated filter (11) is suitable
for wet vacuuming.
Before carrying out any wet vacuuming, remove the dry vacuumed material. This
process will prevent severe soiling and encrustation.
The float valve interrupts the suction process if the container is full.
Switch off motor and empty container.
After switching off, some water may run back out of the hose.
Before emptying, first of all take the suction hose out of the liquid.
Use a dry pleated filter to carry out dry vacuuming afterwards. If you are
frequently switching between dry and wet vacuuming, we recommend the use of a
second (replacement) pleated filter. Allow the pleated filter, container and
accessories to dry: otherwise dust may adhere to damp components.
8.3 Transport**
Leave the hose on the machine to prevent dust from accidentally being
released. Wrap the suction hose about the vacuum cleaner. Wind the mains
connection lead (2) about the upper part, as shown.
The upper part (1) must be securely sealed to the container (4) – check that
the snap locks (3) are closed.
