• Due to the high suction force and fl ow-promoting container shape,
some water may fl ow out of the hose when the appliance is switched
off.
• Use a dry fi lter for subsequent dry vacuum cleaning. Use a second
(exchange able) fi lter when frequently alternating between dry and wet
vacuum cleaning.
Filter cleaning
The vibrating device should be activated (switch position AR) at the latest
when the volume fl ow display 2c (warning light) lights up or when the
suction power decreases
Emptying the container
Turn off (2a), disconnect the plug (6), and open the lock-in closure (9).
Remove the top section (1) and hose from the container (7). Empty the
container or remove the paper fi lter bag from the suction opening.
Paper fi lter bag (Accessory)
Hold of the paper fi lter bag by the fl ange and push vertically from above into
the guide of the suction opening (8) until the stop point is reached. Bags
increase the dust-retaining capacity and ensure hygienic disposal. Paper
fi lter bags must only be used for dry vacuum cleaning.
Cleaning
Dry the fi lter and container thoroughly so that dust cannot adhere to moist
parts. To prevent dirt accumulation and encrustation, dry dust must be
removed before changing over to wet vacuum cleaning. Clean the container
and accessories with water. Wipe the top section (1) with a moist cloth.
Maintenance
The fi lter cassettes (12) must be renewed when the suction power declines
and does not increase again after the fi lter w has been cleaned. Obviously,
this presupposes that the container (7) has been emptied and a full paper
fi lter bag (12) has been replaced. Shake the fi lter cassettes once again
before the fi lter is exchanged. Use a coin or similar object to turn the lock
(5) on the locking bar (4) anti-clockwise by 90°, and then push the locking
bar (4) to the back. Fold open the hood and lift out the fi lter cartridges (12).
Insert new fi lter cassettes. Ensure that the fi lters are correctly and securely
seated. The motor protection fi lter (13) must be cleaned from time to time.
Remove the fi lter from the motor case. Wash the fi lter under fl owing water
and then dry thoroughly. Return the motor protection fi lter. Remove any dirt.
Fold down the hood and press it lightly so that the locking bar (4) returns to
its initial position. The appliance is now properly closed.
Remedying faults
Functional faults are not necessarily always due to a defective appliance.
Fault: Possible Cause/Remedy:
Decreasing suction force. Clogged fi lter – Clean
Paper fi lter is full – Change
Container full – Empty
Clogges motor protection fi lter – Clean
Clogged nozzle, tube or hose – Clean
Appliance does not start. Is the plug inserted in the socket?
Mains failure?
Is the power supply cable broken?
Has the appliance hood been properly
closed?
