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

Keep the float valve (40, fig. S) clean and
accessible at all times. It automatically interrupts
vacuuming when the collecting bin is full.
When vacuuming out containers in which the liquid
level is higher than the top of the collecting bin and
which have a larger volume than the capacity of the
collecting bin, liquid can continue to be vacuumed
beyond the capacity of the collecting bin if the float
valve is closed.
In such cases, vacuum only in partial amounts and
intermittently empty the collecting bin.
Lift the tube and flexible hose out of the liquid first and
then turn off the appliance afterwards, in order to
prevent an afterflow of liquid.
A Open the snap-on fasteners and lift the motor
block.
Remove the filters from the appliance, because
they will otherwise be damaged (figures C and
D). If your appliance is an AQUAFILTER
appliance, remove the AQUA filter and the fine
particle filter (figures C, E and F).
If the cleaning fluid tank is fitted, remove it (figure
K).
H Place the motor block onto the collecting bin and
snap shut with snap-on fasteners.
Connect the mains cable.
J Connect flexible hose. Remove the hose by
turning the hose connecting piece to the side and
withdrawing the hose.
P Close the suction power control (11) on the
handle.
N Switch on the appliance with the On/Off (6)
switch.
The pump switch (7) must not light up.
After completion of wet vacuuming, please clean
and dry the appliance and the accessories used.
Spray extraction (shampooing) of
carpets and hard floor coverings
Shampoo only carpets which can be cleaned wet.
Fine, hand-woven or non-colour-fast carpets
should not be shampooed.
If the carpet has been shampooed before, it is
possible that you will obtain a great deal of foam
when you use THOMAS BRAVO for the first time.
If this is the case, switch off the appliance and
empty the collecting bin.
