Dry vacuum cleaning
CAUTION
Please note the following when switching from wet
to dry vacuum cleaning:
If you vacuum dry dust while the filter element is still wet
the filter will become obstructed and may be damaged
beyond repair.
 Dry the wet filter properly before use or replace it
with a dry one.
 Change the filter, if required, according to instruc-
tions under the section "Maintenance and Care".
Note: The dirt container needs to be emptied if it is full
until about 3 cm below the upper rim.
– Check the fill level of the dirt container at regular in-
tervals, as the appliance does not shut off automat-
ically during dry vacuuming.
Wet vacuum cleaning
CAUTION
Please observe the local provisions regarding the
wastewater treatment.
– Caution! If the appliance is used while the dirt
container is full, there is a chance that the shut-
off mechanism will respond late and the appli-
ance might become overfilled.
– If wet dirt is vacuumed with the crevice nozzle or if
high volumes of liquid are sucked up from a con-
tainer, it is recommended to deactivate the "Filter
Dedusting" function.
– If the maximum liquid level is reached the appli-
ance will turn off automatically.
– After the wet vacuuming: Clean the flat-fold filter.

with a moist cloth. Clean the container with a damp
rag and dry it.
