DANGER
Unintentional start-up of the device /
electric shock
Unintentional start-up of the suction motor
can cause injuries. Voltage present on
electrical parts can cause an electric shock.
Switch off the device and unplug the mains
plug before performing any work on the de-
vice.
Have all checks and work on electrical
parts performed by an qualified technician.
Note
The device must be switched off immedi-
ately in the event of a malfunction. The mal-
function must be eliminated before
switching the device on again.
If the malfunction cannot be corrected, the
device must be checked by the Customer
Service department.

8. Check the condition of the inert liquid.
a Check the filling level of the inert liq-
uid, top up the inert liquid if necessary
(see chapter Fill the dirt receptacle
with inert liquid).
b Check the quality of the inert liquid, re-
place the inert liquid if necessary (see
chapter Drain the inert liquid from the
dirt receptacle and chapter Fill the dirt
receptacle with inert liquid).
Suction power not present
The mechanical switch-off interrupts the
volume flow because there is too little inert
liquid in the dirt receptacle.
1. Top up the inert liquid (see chapter Fill
the dirt receptacle with inert liquid).
Escaping dust when vacuuming
1. Check the seating of the dirt receptacle.
2. Check the seating of the filter and cor-

device with a wet separator (see chapter
Fill the dirt receptacle with inert liquid).
