Dry vacuuming
Never use your AQUAFILTER appliance in
dry vacuum mode without the Aquafilter, the
fine particle textile filter, tissue filter and an
appropriate water level.
Do not vacuum up large quantities of particle
dust, e.g. flour, cocoa powder, cement, etc.
Preparation
A Remove the motor head (2) with the cable
disconnected from the mains plug.
B Remove fresh water tank (28).
L Press the suction hose (37) fitted to the motor
head (2) in the holder (36) provided for this
purpose.
H Fit tissue filter (26) by means of the clamping ring
(25) and fasten with turning clips (31).
I Connect up the three-piece AQUA filter, pushing
it together until the two parts fit snugly, and push
it firmly onto the suction socket.
Note the marker
guides!
The AQUA filter has to snap into place on
the floor of the suction canister and has to lie
there evenly.
Fill 2 litres of clear water into the collecting bin.
J Place the fine particle filter on the rim of the
suction tank.
D Mount motor head (2). The rotary switch on the
appliance must be set to "0".
G Connect up mains connection cable (10).
To put into operation
Switch on appliance
M The rotary knob (7) must be set to the carpet
nozzle symbol when dry vacuuming.
The pilot lamp (6) should not be lit up.
Appliance is ready to use.
Cleaning and care of the AQUA filter
system
For reasons of hygiene, empty, clean
and dry the AQUAFILTER system and
the collecting bin after each use. Dirty
water and damp parts will promote the
growth of bacteria and mildew.
Clean the fine particle filter – according to how dirty
it is – with a dry or damp cloth. If it is very dirty, clean
it out with clear water, without adding any detergents
or cleaning fluids. Please make sure that the filter is
completely dry before next using the vacuum cleaner.

Wet vacuuming
Assembly
A Remove the motor head (2) after connection
cable has been disconnected from the mains
plug.
Caution! Remove the filter unit (26, 27 + 30)
before vacuuming liquids.
L Always ensure that the float (38) is kept clean and
in good condition. It acts as a safety device and
automatically interrupts the flow of air when the
collecting bin is full.
D Put the motor block (2) back in position. The
control knob on the appliance must be set at „0".
G Plug the appliance into a mains socket.
Switching on the appliance
M When using the appliance in the wet vacuuming
mode, the control knob (7) must be set at the
„carpet + floor nozzle" symbol.
The pilot lamp (6) should not be lit up.
The appliance is ready for use.
Liquids can be directly vacuumed out of containers
with either the vacuum hose or the hose with a sec-
tion.
Take care when vacuuming liquids from
high­sided containers or basins, where the
quantity level exceeds the liquid capacity
of the collecting bin. Remember that, in
such a case, the liquid will continue to flow
from the container even if the collecting bin
is full and the float has stopped the suction
flow of the appliance.
Therefore, vacuum only small quantities of liquid at a
time and empty the collecting bin before switching on
again.
Always lift the suction tube out of the liquid before
switching off the motor.
Warning! If petrol, paint thinner, fuel oil etc. are allo-
wed to mix with the suction air flow, explosive fumes
or compounds may be formed.
Acetone, acids and solvents may attack the materials
on your appliance. It is quite safe to vacuum water
which contains ordinary household cleaning agents.
After vacuuming liquids, the collecting bin and all
accessories used should be wiped clean and left to dry.
