Operation Summary
Switching On/Off: Move the On/Off switch (2) to position "I" to turn on and "O" to turn off. Always unplug the device when leaving it unattended or finished.
Washer Function: Press the pump switch (3) to position "1" and then switch on the device. To turn off, switch the device off and then press the pump switch (3) to position "O".
Work Breaks: The assembled suction set can be stored on the switched-off appliance. Store the suction pipe (18) in the accessory holders (9) on the castors (10).
Dry Vacuuming: Ensure a filter is always used. For efficient use, a paper filter bag (15) is recommended with the foam filter (14). Refer to filter installation instructions.
Vacuuming Fine Dust: Never vacuum without a filter. Fine dust may require a special fine dust filter bag.
Wet and Dry Vacuuming: Use the water tank (26). Add cleaning agent if needed. Switch off immediately if foam or liquid escapes. Ensure the suction nozzle is not fully submerged to allow air intake. Remove the suction pipe (18) when the tank is full. The suction unit should be higher than the water surface. A float interrupts suction when the dirt container (8) is full; empty the container.
