Please read and comply with these original operating instruc-
tions prior to the initial operation of your appli-
ance and store them for later use or
subsequent owners.
Proper use
The appliance is intended for use as a wet and dry vacuum cleaner corresponding to the descriptions given in these operating instructions and the safety notes.
- Protect the unit from rain. Do not store outside.
- This device may not be used to suck in ash and soot.
Use the wet/dry vacuum cleaner only with:
- Original filter bag.
- Original spare parts, accessories and special accessories.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages that may occur on account of improper use or wrong operations.
Environmental protection
The packaging material can be recycled. Please do not place the packaging into the ordinary refuse for disposal, but arrange for the proper recycling.
Old appliances contain valuable materials that can be recycled. Please arrange for the proper recycling of old appliances. Please dispose your old appliances using appropriate collection systems.
Disposing the filters and filter bags
Filters and filter bags are made from environment-friendly materials.
They can therefore be disposed off through the normal household garbage provided you have not sucked in substances that are not permitted to be thrown into household garbage.
Safety instructions
- This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or lacking experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or are instructed by these persons on the use of the device.
Children should be supervised, to ensure that they do not play with the device.
- Switch the appliance off after every use and prior to every cleaning/maintenance procedure.
- Risk of fire. Do not vacuum up any burning or glowing objects.
- The appliance may not be used in areas where a risk of explosion is present.
Electrical connection
The appliance may only be connected to alternating current. The voltage must correspond with the type plate on the appliance.
⚠️ Risk of electric shock
Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.
Do not pull the plug from the socket by pulling on the connecting cable.
Check the power cord with mains plug for damage before every use. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange immediately for the exchange by an authorized customer service or a skilled electrician.
To avoid accidents due to electrical faults we recommend the use of sockets with a line-side current-limiting circuit breaker (max.
30 mA nominal tripping current).
Caution
Certain materials may produce explosive vapours or mixtures when agitated by the suction air!
Never vacuum up the following materials:
- Explosive or combustible gases, liquids and dust particles (reactive dust particles)
- Reactive metal dust particles (such as aluminium, magnesium, zinc) in combination with highly alkaline or acidic detergents
– Undiluted, strong acids and alkalies
- Organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinners, acetone, heating oil).
In addition, these substances may cause the appliance materials to corrode.

For a dust-free disposal of the vacuuming material we recommend to insert the paper filter bag as well. This provides the additional advantage that the cartridge filter will not become contaminated that quickly.

→ Therefore: Always let the cartridge filter dry thoroughly before using it!
⚠ Added filter bags can burst!
→ Therefore: Change the filter bag at the appropriate time!
⚠️ Always use a filter bag while sucking in fine dust!
