If you vacuum dry dust while the filter element is still wet the filter will become obstructed and may be damaged beyond repair.

Dry the wet filter properly before use or replace it with a dry one.
Change the filter, if required, according to instructions under the section “Maintenance and Care”.

Note: The dirt container needs to be emptied if it is full until about 3 cm below the upper rim.

Check the fill level of the dirt container at regular intervals, as the appliance does not shut off automatically during dry vacuuming.

Wet vacuum cleaning

CAUTION

Caution! If the appliance is used while the dirt container is full, there is a chance that the shutoff mechanism will respond late and the appliance might become overfilled.
If wet dirt is vacuumed with the crevice nozzle or if high volumes of liquid are sucked up from a container, it is recommended to deactivate the “Filter Dedusting” function.
If the maximum liquid level is reached the appliance will turn off automatically.
After the wet vacuuming: Clean the flat-fold filter.
