IMPORTANT

**** When vacuuming large volumes of liquid, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow for air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction when the container reaches its maximum capacity an increase in motor speed will be heard. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply and empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the power head to the container. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the machine becoming moldy, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container and remove the foam filter and allow to air dry before storage.

The float valve is a safety feature. Do not attempt to remove or modify this in any way. If the cleaner should overturn during wet operation, switch off immediately and return it to an upright position. Wait for the valve to reset before commencing cleaning.
