Wet use
vacuuming liquids
Note: When you vacuum water from a place that is located higher than the appliance itself (e.g. a roof
gutter or roof water tank), the appliance inevitably functions as a syphon. As a result, the container fills up
more quickly than usual and may overflow. Make sure you never exceed the maximum capacity of the
container (9 litres/2 gallons) (Fig. 36).
To make sure that the container does not overflow when you vacuum liquids, perform the following
procedure at regular intervals:
1 Lift the nozzle out of the water.
2 Press the motor on/off button to switch off the appliance.
3 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
4 Empty the container.
shampooing carpets
1 Start as far away from the door as possible and then work your way towards the door.
2 Apply shampoo by squeezing the trigger on the handgrip of the tube (Fig. 37).
3 Make overlapping strokes to cover the entire area to be cleaned.
Note: If there are still traces of liquid on the area you have just cleaned, pass the vacuum cleaner over
this area once more without applying shampoo.
4 After shampooing, release the trigger and switch off the pump. Keep the appliance switched
on (Fig. 38).
5 Lift the nozzle off the floor. Then simply let the appliance suck in dry air for some time to dry
the inside of the suction hose and tube (Fig. 39).
6 Switch off the appliance.
