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".

receptacle when vacuuming high volumes of liquid,
as the receptacle can be filled within a matter of sec-
onds and could overflow.

wastewater treatment.
– 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 "Semi-
