0 Off

☐ Vacuum cleaning on and detergent spray enabled

Carpet and furniture cleaning (Fig. G)

Vacuuming will remove larger particles, which can't be cleaned effectively with the cleaning nozzles. It is highly recommended to first vacuum the carpet or furniture before cleaning. Use the crevice nozzle (11) to remove particles from furniture crevices.

Preparation:

1. Remove the dust bag (7) from the container (3).

2. Install the foam filter (6) (refer to the previous paragraph "Filters").

3. Mount the applicable cleaning nozzle (8/9) on the machine (refer to the previous paragraph "Nozzle/brush").

4. Fill the detergent tank (16)
5. Set the on/off switch (1) to the position.
6. Press and hold the spray gun trigger (25) until detergent starts to spray from the nozzle (8/9). Note that it may take some time before the detergent fills the tube (20) and reaches the nozzle.

Cleaning:

1. Apply the nozzle (8/9) to the carpet or furniture surface.
2. Press the trigger (25) to spray detergent while moving the nozzle slowly and evenly across the surface.

Dry vacuuming

Clean the HEPA filter (4) regularly to maintain the suction power.

To avoid clogging of the HEPA filter (4) it is recommended to use a dust collection bag (7).

Very small particles, such as dust from cement, soot and plaster are too fine to be used with only the HEPA filter (4) and risk getting into the motor and damaging it. Therefore we strongly recommend using a dust collection bag (7) when cleaning these types of materials.

An overfilled, clogged dust collection bag (7) can burst. Make sure to replace the dust collection bag in a timely manner!

1. Install the HEPA filter (4) (refer to the previous paragraph "Filters").
2. Place a dust bag (7) in the container (3).
3. Mount the applicable brush or nozzle (10/11) on the machine (refer to the previous paragraph "Nozzle/brush").
4. Set the on/off switch (1) to the "I" position.

Wet vacuuming

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cut-off float (24). The suction power will be cut off when the maximum filling level is reached. When this happens, switch the

vacuum cleaner off immediately. Remove the power plug from the mains outlet and empty the container (3).

Clean the float (24) at regular intervals, and inspect it for damage. A damaged float must be replaced to ensure the safe operation of the machine.

Never reach into the water to be suctioned up. Danger of electric shock.

Immediately switch the machine off if foam forms or liquids escape!

Do not use a dust collection bag (7) when vacuuming liquids.

1. Remove the dust bag (7) from the container (3).
2. Install the foam filter (5) (refer to the previous paragraph "Filters").
3. Mount the applicable brush or nozzle (10/11) on the machine (refer to the previous paragraph "Nozzle/brush").
4. Set the on/off switch (1) to the "l" position.

Airflow adjustment (Fig. G)

Use the slider (26) on the handle (13) to adjust the suction.

Blower function (Fig. A, H)

Empty the container (3) and make sure it is clear of debris before using the blower function. The performance of the blower function may be improved by removing the filters (4/5/6).

Always wear safety goggles before using the blower function.

Risk of flying objects. Keep bystanders away while using the blower function.

1. Disconnect the flexible hose (14) from the container (3).

2. Insert the end of the flexible hose (14) in the blower port (27) on the other side of the machine and turn clockwise to lock it in place.

3. Set the on/off switch (1) to the "I" position. Air will blow out of the flexible hose.

Shut-off float

When the machine is used to clean up liquids the container may become full at a certain point. The shut-off float (24) in the air inlet will activate once the container is at full capacity. Activation of the float will cut off the suction power to prevent water from entering into the air inlet. When this happens, turn off the machine immediately and empty the container before continuing to use the machine.

The shut-off float (24) may also be activated when the machine is tilted or turned over. Turn off the machine immediately and ensure it is in a fully upright position before continuing to use it.

5. MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the machine and remove the mains plug from the mains.

Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that the ventilation openings are free of dust and dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia, etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the synthetic components.

Container

Always empty and dry the container (3) after using to the machine to vacuum liquids. The container is not designed to store liquids for a prolonged period and may corrode if it is not dried out after each use.

Built-in filter cleaning function (Fig. I)

When you notice a decrease in suction power, the filters may be clogged. The machine is equipped with a cleaning function to help unclog the filters.

1. Set the on/off switch (1) to the "I" position.
2. Push down on the filter cleaning button (28) a few times to unclog the filter.

Temporarily blocking the vacuum cleaner suction will make this cleaning function more effective at unclogging the filter. The vacuum handle (13) may be blocked by hand, while pressing the button (28) with the other hand. For one-handed operation, use the tip of the handle (13) to press down on the button (28) – this will simultaneously enable the cleaning function and block the airflow in the handle.

Manually cleaning the filters

For optimal performance it is recommended to regularly change or clean the filters (4/5/6) depending on level of use.

1. Release the clamps (17) and remove the top section (2) from the container (3).
2. Carefully remove the filters (4/5/6) from the filter cage (22).
3. Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the filters. Rinse the filters with clean water afterwards.
4. Allow the filters to air-dry before re-installing and using them again.
5. Re-install the filters (refer to previous paragraph "Filters")

Shut-off float and filter cage

Regularly clean the shut-off float and the filter cage using a soft cloth. While cleaning, inspect the parts for damage. A damaged shut-off float or filter cage must be replaced to ensure safe operation of the machine.
