Frequently Asked Questions - VL100 NILFISK

How to use the vacuum for dry cleaning?

Make sure the tank is empty of any liquid, install a clean and dry cloth filter, and use the dry debris pickup tool. Adjust the suction regulator as needed.

How to use the vacuum for wet waste?

Remove the dust bag, use the wet pickup tool with rubber blades. Make sure the float is in place. When the tank is full, suction stops automatically.

How to clean the filter after use?

After vacuuming, unplug the appliance. Open the tank, remove the filter assembly and shake it. Use a soft brush if necessary. The cloth filter can be washed with water and dried before reuse.

What to do if suction power decreases?

Check that the filters are not clogged. Clean the steel filter and the cloth filter. Make sure the hose is not blocked. If the problem persists, the float may need cleaning.

How to empty the liquid tank?

Use the drain hose located at the bottom of the tank (55L and 75L models) to drain the water. For the 35L model, remove the motor head and empty the tank manually.

What materials should never be vacuumed?

Never vacuum hazardous dusts, hot materials (cigarettes, ashes), flammable or explosive liquids (gasoline, solvents), or explosive dusts (magnesium, aluminum).

Operation Instructions

Starting and operating of the machine

Check that suitable filters are installed in the machine. Then connect the suction hose into the Multi-fit inlet on the container by pushing the hose forward until is fits firmly in place (This Operation is referred to in Page 3 “F5”). Then assemble the drain hose with hoop (This Operation is referred to in Page 4 “F8”; Olny the VL100 55/75L need this operation). Then connect the two tubes and suitable nozzle.

Dry Operation

The dry filter assembly and dust collection bag must always be used. Ensure that the container is emptied of any liquid before using for dry pick-up and that the cloth filter is in a clean and dry condition.

When the suction force is reduced or the machine noise is becomes louder, switch off the machine and remove the power cord plug. Loosen the container catchesand

remove the motor head assembly. Shake and clean the filter assembly into the container. This should be done while the hose is still connected to avoid dust exiting from the open hose connection. Having shaken the filter, allow a few moments for the dust to settle. Remove the dust filter assembly from machine and empty the container. If the filter's surface appears to be heavily contaminated, it is advisable to brush the filter material clean with an ordinary soft household brush. This ensures continued peak performance. Having emptied the container, replace the dust filter assembly, replace the motor head assembly and lock tank catches. You are now ready to start again. If the above procedure does not resolve the low suction, please check if the suction hose is blocked.

(Dry Control and Operation is referred to in Page 3 "F3")

Use crevice tool for narrow spaces eg narrow gaps and corners (Control and Operation is referred to in Page 3 "F7")

Use Dusting tool to clean more sensitive or fabric surfaces e.g. curtains (Control and Operation is referred to in Page 3 “F6”)

Wet Operation

Ensure to empty any dry dust from the container before using the machine for wet pick-up.

Always be sure to use wet pick-up tool with rubber blades.

Take out dust bag for wet applications, If the fluid is likely to generate foam, we suggest use the Dry Filter Assembly, which will help prevent foam entering the motor head. When the container fills to its maximum, the suction will stop and the sound of the machine will increase. Switch off the machine and remove the power cord. Remove the motor head and float valve assembly.

Move the machine to the drain and empty the liquid from the container via the drain hose.

If the suction power becomes lower, the float and filter system may require cleaning. Switch off the machine, remove the power cord and loosen the float basket by turning the basket to the left. A filter is located in the float basket. Check and clean the filter, then reinstall the float system, and make sure that the cup's “TOP” side is installed upwards in the direction towards the motor top. To mount the float basket-align the arrow on the basket to the arrow on the housing. Then secure the float basket by turning it to the right. (Control and Operation can be referred Page 3 “F4”)
