Frequently Asked Questions - Power Pack 1620 THOMAS

The suction power gradually decreases, what should I do?

Check that the pores of the filter are not blocked, that the dust bag is not full, and that the nozzles, extension tubes or hoses are not obstructed. If the hose is obstructed, pull on it while the appliance is running to dislodge the material.

Dust comes out of the vacuum cleaner in suction mode, why?

This may be due to an improperly installed and/or defective filter system, or using a filter that is not THOMAS brand. Check the filter installation and replace it if necessary.

Water comes out of the air exhaust vents during wet vacuuming, why?

The float (diagram K) may be blocked by liquids and cannot respond. Clean the float valve and ensure it is in perfect working condition.

The motor no longer turns, what should I check?

Check that the connection cable, connectors and power socket are not defective. Before any inspection, unplug the connector from the mains. Never open the motor yourself, contact customer service.

How to perform wet vacuuming?

Before wet vacuuming, remove the filter cartridge (conical filter or long-life dry filter) and use the long-life wet/dry filter. Make sure the float valve is clean. After use, clean and dry the appliance and accessories.

How to clean the conical filter?

The conical filter (20) can be washed with clean water. Never use washing or cleaning products. Make sure the filter is completely dry before reuse.

1.2 Safety points

• THOMAS POWERPACK is only for use in the home.
- The appliance must not be put into operation if:

• the mains cable is damaged
  – the appliance shows clear signs of damage
• the appliance has fallen or been dropped.

- This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• The voltage data on the appliance's rating plate must conform to the power supply.
• Do not allow nozzles and tubes (when the appliance is switched on) to come within the proximity of the head – danger for eyes and ears, for example.
• Do not vacuum noxious substances or corrosive or solvent liquids.
• Never operate the appliance in rooms where inflammable materials are stored or where gases have formed.
• Store the appliance and its attachments in a dry, clean and enclosed space.
• Materials such as petrol, paint thinner and heating oil can form explosive gases or mixtures by being subjected to centrifugal air from the appliance.
• Never vacuum hot ash or glowing objects.
• Check before every use to be sure that you have correctly fitted the filters required for the specific application.
• Do not vacuum toner dust! Toners such as those used in printers and copiers, can be electric conductors! Furthermore, it is possible that the appliance's filter system will not completely filter out toner dust, and in this way it can enter the air supply of the room.
• Acetone, acids and solvents can attack the materials used in this appliance.
• Extreme care is required when vacuuming stair carpets with your appliance. Ensure that the vacuum cleaner stands firmly on the step and take care that the flexible hose is not stretched beyond its actual length. When using the vacuum cleaner on stairs, always ensure that you hold the appliance steady with one hand.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when switched on.
  • Always pull out the plug

- if the appliance malfunctions during operation

• before cleaning and maintenance
• after use

• when changing the filter.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling at the cable, but only by removing the plug directly from the socket.

• Ensure that the main cable is not exposed to either heat or chemical substances, nor that it is pulled across sharp edges or surfaces.
• Never repair damage to the appliance, to the accessories or to the cable (special cable required); have repairs done only by an authorised customer service station, because modifications to the appliance can pose a risk to your health. Ensure that only original spare parts and accessories are used.
• Do not expose the appliance to the elements, humidity or heating sources.

B Push the castor wheels and the pegs into the base of the collecting bin until they snap into place.

Dry vacuuming

After wet vacuuming, the appliance must be absolutely dry; dry off the flexible hose or tubes if necessary beforehand.

Never dry vacuum without filters or with damaged filters.

C Only Model POWER PACK 1616: Use the taper filter (20) in addition to the paper filter sack. By doing this you achieve the best retention of the residue dust. Place the taper filter (20) on the underside of the motor head (2). Depending on the model in position 1 or 2 and lock with the rotary clips. In the case of stubborn dirt weak suction power the taper filter (20) can be washed out with clear water without adding washing detergents or cleaning agents. Make

sure that the filter is completely dry when using the vacuum cleaner the next time.

D Use long-term wet and dry filter (23) and lock with rotary clips.
E Press the filter sack on the suction connection firmly and lay it against the wall of the collecting bin.
F Place the motor block on top and secure it by means of snap-on fasteners.

Connect the mains cable.

H Turn the appliance on with the On/Off switch (5).
i Suction control (11, figure J) allows you to vary the suction power.

- Sliding air trap closed = full suction power

- Sliding air trap open = reduced suction power

Model THOMAS POWER PACK30 SE

Electric tools with a rating from 60 - 2000 W can be connected up to the appliance plugbox (6).

This makes two modes of operation possible which can be selected by means of the selector switch (7) on the appliance.

H Selector switch (7)

Normal operation: Button with control lamp must not be pressed.

Immediate start of all-purpose vacuum cleaner for all suction work by pressing the ON/OFF switch (5).

Automatic operation:

Select this mode of operation if an electric tool with dust extraction is to be connected. Connect the electric tool to the appliance plugbox and the suction hose to the electric tool. Press the button with control lamp in the selector switch (7) and switch on by means of the ON/OFF switch (5).

The control lamp indicates readiness for operation. The vacuum cleaner is automatically switched on at the same time by switching the electric tool on and off. When connected up to the mains cable (10) the appliance plugbox (6) is under voltage; this applies also when both the ON/OFF switch (5) and the selector switch (7) are switched off.

Wet vacuuming

Always remove the filter assembly (figure C,D+E) before commencing wet vacuuming, since otherwise the filter assembly will be ruined. Do not forget to unplug the line cord before removing the motor housing (2) from the tank.

When vacuuming out containers in which the liquid level is higher than the top of the collecting bin and which have a larger volume than the capacity of the collecting bin, liquid can continue to be vacuumed beyond the capacity of the collecting bin if the float valve is closed.

In such cases, vacuum only in partial amounts and intermittently empty the collecting bin.

Lift the tube and flexible hose out of the liquid first and then turn off the appliance afterwards, in order to prevent an afterflow of liquid.

Keep the float valve (27, fig. K) clean and accessible at all times. It automatically interrupts vacuuming when the collecting bin is full.

After completion of wet vacuuming, please clean and dry the appliance and the accessories used.

If unexpected difficulties arise

If your appliance does not operate to your satisfaction, you do not have to contact customer service straight away. Please check first as to whether the fault is due one of the following minor causes:

Dust escaping from suction sockets:

• Has the filter system been fitted in accordance with the instructions?
• Has an original THOMAS filter been used?

Gradual reduction in suction power:

• Are the pores of the tissue filter clogged up by dust or soot?
  • Is the collecting bin full?
• Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube or flexible hose?/Stretch the flexible hose while the appliance is switched on – this will loosen the obstruction.)

Water is coming out of the air expulsion openings of the appliance during vacuuming:

- Is the float (figure K) blocked when vacuuming liquid and unable to operate?

Sudden reduction in suction power

- Has the float stopped the flow of air? This can happen if the appliance is standing at a slant or if the appliance falls over. Turn off the vacuum

cleaner – the float will fall back into place – the appliance is ready for use again.

The motor does not function:

• Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or socket?
• Pull out the plug before checking.
  • Never open the motor yourself!

For the sake of the environment

Do not just throw away packaging material and worn out appliances!

Appliance packaging:

• The packaging carton can be placed in the waste paper collection bin
• The plastic bag made of polyethylene (PE) should be placed in the appropriate disposal bin for recycling.

Appliance disposal at the end of service life:

- Appliance disposal in accordance with the local regulations but before doing so disconnect and cut off the mains plug.

The symbol on the respective product or its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed of as household waste. Instead, it should be handed into the

collection point for recycling electrical and electronic equipment.
