Assembly Instructions
Congratulations on your new purchase! Enjoy
your appliance to the full through correct usage.
To obtain the best service from your new appliance,
please read these instructions before use and follow
them carefully when operating the appliance.
Assembling the appliance
The parts required for the chassis are to be found
loosely packed in the carton.
Assembling the chassis
Place the chassis ring upside down on a stable
surface.
Drive the shafts by the ribbed end into the bore-
holes provided on the chassis. (Some appliances
are supplied with the shafts ready-mounted.)
Then push the wheels in as far as they will go.
Turn the collecting bin upside down (i.e. opening
facing the floor).
Place the chassis ring on the collecting bin and
press down firmly until the ring snaps into place.
Stand the appliance back in an upright position.
Inserting the cartridge filter
Pull out the plug
Place the new cartridge filter in an upright position
on the motor flange and gently but firmly slide
it into place on the filter mounting. Secure the
cartridge filter by means of the swivel clips.
Changing
Undo the snap fasteners, remove the motor block
from the collecting bin and turn over.
Turn the swivel clips in the direction indicated
and carefully remove the cartridge filter in an
upright position from the filter mounting.
Inserting the paper filter bag
Place the filter bag inside the collecting bin,
making sure that the opening located in the card-
board inlay is placed in line with the suction
soket.
Then press the filter bag evenly around the
sides of the collecting bin.
THOMAS paper filter bags are essential when
vacuuming fine dust. However, they are also
recommended for normal use, as they not only
improve the retention of dust, but also make filter
changes more hygienic.
Fitting the motor block
Place the motor block onto the collecting bin,
making sure that the operating switch lies directly
in line with the middle of the suction socket.
Lastly, secure the motor block by means of both
snap fasteners.
Connecting the flexible hose
Firmly insert the flexible hose in the suction socket
and turn the hose until the button clicks into place
and the markings on both the suction socket and
the hose connecting piece correspond. (Remove
the hose by turning the hose connecting piece and
slowly withdrawing the hose.)
Then attach the desired accessories and the
appliance is ready for use.

Operating the appliance
The MultiVac is switched on and off by means of
the switch located on the motor block casing.
The mains supply voltage must correspond to the
voltage given on the rating plate.
Operation
C
Dry-vacuuming
Important!
The cartridge filter and the paper filter bag must be
fitted when dry-vacuuming. Plug in the appliance.
After use
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug.
Wind the mains cable loosely in the hand and
store under the carrying handle.
Vacuuming liquids
D
If a paper filter bag has been fitted in the
appliance, remove it before vacuuming liquids, as
it will otherwise disintegrate.
When vacuuming liquids from a container, use only
the flexible hose or suction tubes.
Always ensure that the float 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.
Take care when vacuuming water from high-sided
containers or basins where the quantity Ievel
exceeds the liquid capacity of the collecting bin.
Remember that, in such a case, the water will
E
continue to flow from the container even if the
collecting bin is full and the float has stopped the
suction flow of the appliance.
