Tips: If you want to vacuum up a large quantity of liquid from a sink or a tank, please don't put the entire suction nozzle in the
liquid; rather leave a little space so that some air can also be drawn in along with the liquid, or use the air-leak slider that is
included on the handle section (18). To do this, connect the suction tube (4) and leave the air-leak slider open.
The appliance is equipped with a float switch (12) (B1) that will stop the vacuuming when the tank is full. You will notice that
suction has stopped by the motor now running faster. In this event, switch the appliance off and unplug it.
Be aware that the full tank can be very heavy. In this event, place the appliance over a drain and carefully open the outlet screw.
