General
– If wet dirt is vacuumed with the uphol-
stery or crevice nozzle, or if water is
sucked up from a container, it is recom-
mended to deactivate the "automatic fil-
ter cleaning" function.
– If the maximum liquid level is reached
the appliance will turn off automatically.
– In case of non-conductive liquids
(such as emulsion drilling fluids,
oils, and greases) the appliance is
not turned off when the container is
full. The filling level must be continu-
ously monitored and the container
must be emptied in time.
– After the wet vacuuming: Clean the flat
folded filter with the filter cleaning.
Clean the electrodes with a brush.
Clean the container with a damp rag
and dry it.
