suction tube on the bottom of the appliance.

Appliance switches on; rating 850 Watt (ECO stage);
green indicator lamp comes on
- Hold down key:
Infinitely variable electronic suction power control
between 650 and 1600 Watt
Signal lamp green: MIN. 650 Watt to 1125 Watt;
Signal lamp yellow: 1125 Watt to MAX. 1600 Watt.

mum capacity.

The AQUAFILTER system offers particularly good filtration at
a rating between 850 W (ECO stage) and MAX 1600 W.
Consequently only use the appliance at MIN rating (650 Watt)
for a short time (when vacuuming curtains, for example).
Mechanical suction power control
The suction power can also be adjusted by means of the mechanical
suction power controller (auxiliary air slide).
Auxiliary air slide closed = full suction power
Auxiliary air slide open = reduced suction power.
The auxiliary air slide must always be closed when using the
electronic suction power control system.
Dust vacuuming
Information for use
● Do not use the GENIUS AQUAFILTER for dry vacuuming when
the AQUAFILTER system has not been appropriately fitted accor-
ding to the operating instructions. This could cause damage to the
appliance.
● Do not suck up any liquids when dry vacuuming.
● Do not suck up any large quantity of fine dust, for example, cho-
colate powder, flour, etc.
To make the AQUA filter ready for use
Your GENIUS AQUA FILTER is set ready for dry vacuuming at the
works.
Open appliance cover by lifting up the cover catch.
Draw out the AQUA filter from the dirty water tank by means
of the grip. Fill up the dirty water tank with 1 litre of clean
water.
Insert the complete AQUA filter up to the stop behind the two
guide ribs of the dirty water tank.
At the same time make sure that the wet filter is fitted and the
circumventing AQUA filter seal is tight up against the inside of
the dirty water tank.
Connect up suction hose and fit telescopic suction tube. Connect the
required accessory.
To achieve optimal filtration we recommend rinsing out the
AQUA filter quickly with clear water after approx. 40-60
minutes continuous operation or when a large number of
drops of water can be seen on the underside of the cover.
You should also change the water in the dirty water tank.
For hygienic reasons the AQUAFILTER system is to
be emptied and cleaned every time the appliance
is used. Dirty water and moist parts propagate the
growth of bacteria and fungi (see cleaning and main-
tenance instructions).
To suck up liquids
Information for use
You can suck up spilled, non-hazardous water-based liquids
(for example, water, coffee, etc.) with the THOMAS GENIUS
AQUAFILTER.
● Caution! Petrol, thinners, heating oil, etc., can develop explosive
vapour and mixtures when mixed with the intake air.
● Acetone, acids and solvents can attack the materials used to pro-
duce the appliance. Clean and dirty water can be sucked up wit-
hout any hesitation.
● Clean and dry the dirty water tank and all the used parts after
sucking up liquids.
● Never suck up liquids without the dirty water tank.
● Your THOMAS GENIUS AQUAFILTER is not suitable for sucking up
larger quantities of liquid from containers or basins.
● Empty and clean the appliance every time it is used for wet clea-
ning. Dirty water and moist parts propagate the growth of bacte-
ria and fungi (see cleaning and maintenance instructions).
Put the 2-piece anti-swash insert together.
Draw out the AQUA filter from the dirty water tank by the grip
and insert the anti-swash insert.
Remove the HEPA filter from the appliance.
Insert the anti-swash insert and dirty water tank in the
appliance. Make sure that both the wet filter (10a) and the
motor protection filter (12) are fitted.
Connect up suction hose.
Select a suitable nozzle and fit it on the respective suction tube or
hand grip.
Pull the mains power plug and cable out of the appliance and connect
up.
Switch on the appliance and set for maximum suction power.
Make sure that the mechanical suction power control (21) is comple-
tely closed.
