Warnings for the Use of the Appliance

WARNING:

• Only use the appliance in damp rooms if a residual current circuit breaker has been connected upstream in the circuit for your protection. If in doubt, consult an authorized electrician.
• If the appliance, which is filled with water, should accidentally tip over, always unplug it from the wall socket before standing it up again.
• Never use it to suck up explosive liquids (such as heating oil, petrol, paint thinner, acetone) and dust (such as magnesium and aluminum dust), flammable gases as well as undiluted solvents and acids, there is a risk of explosion! Explosive vapors or mixtures could be created by swirling the suction air. These substances could attack the parts and materials used.

CAUTION:

• Pay attention to the limited range due to the cable length!

• Switch off the appliance immediately in the following situations:
  – In case of foam formation.
  – In case of liquid leakage.
  – When the container is full.
  – If the appliance is tipped over.

• Do not vacuum foam-forming cleaning agents with the appliance!

• When vacuuming liquids, always remove the permanent filter. Insert the sealing ring instead.

• Check that the protective filter is correctly seated.

• Before you vacuum dry again the next time, all components must be dry again.

CAUTION:

• When vacuuming smooth floors dry with the floor nozzle, be sure to use it with the brushes extended to avoid damaging the floor.

Putting Into Operation

If not already done, remove the supplied parts from the collection container.
Mounting the Carrying Handle
Mount the carrying handle with the two enclosed screws.
Hand-tighten the screws with a suitable screwdriver.
Mounting the Rollers
Before you use the appliance, fasten the rollers to the chassis frame of the collection container.

Inserting the Filter

1. Insert the Permanent Filter (only when Vacuuming Dry)
   The appliance has a permanent filter. It is easy to insert and clean.
   • Put the rubber rim of the permanent filter over the edge of the collection container. It serves as an airtight seal for the motor housing.

2. Protective Foam Filter
   A protective foam filter is located underneath the motor. It is needed for both wet and dry vacuuming.
   • If not already fitted, place the protective filter on the suction strainer.
   • Regularly check that the filter is correctly fitted and in good condition.

Putting on the Motor Housing

• Align the motor housing so that the on/off switch sits above the intake opening.
• The latches on the appliance must be in the recesses of the motor housing. Press the motor housing onto the collection container until the latches engage.

Connect and Disconnect the Hose

  This setting is also best suited for picking up water from larger areas.
  Note that the collection container can only hold a limited amount of liquid! The maximum filling quantity is reduced accordingly for foam-forming additives!

• Use with Brushes ( ):
  – For vacuuming dry, smooth floors and dry carpets (low pile).
  – For cleaning (scrubbing) wet, smooth floors and wet carpets (low pile).

Crevice Nozzle
For vacuuming in corners and slits, etc.
Air Slider
