Dry vacuuming

Never use your AQUAFILTER appliance in dry
vacuum mode without the Aquafilter, the fine
particle textile filter and an appropriate water level.
Do not vacuum up large quantities of particle
dust, e.g. flour, cocoa powder, cement, etc.
Items C, D and E are already preassembled
in the works.
C Connect up the two-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.
D Hang the fine particle filter in the collecting bin by
turning down the top edge.
E Fit tissue filter (18) by means of the clamping
ring (19) and fasten with turning clips.
F Place the motor block onto the collecting bin and
snap shut with snap-on fasteners.
G Connect flexible hose. Remove the hose by

withdrawing the hose.
Assemble the desired accessories.
Connect the mains cable.
Switch on the appliance with the On/Off (5) switch.
Suction control (9, figure H) allows you to vary
the suction power.
– Sliding air trap closed = full suction power
– Sliding air trap open = reduced suction power
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. J) 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.
