 Bring the appliance to working position
- secure it, if required, with parking
brakes.

suction hose.
 Ensure that the vacuum material con-
tainer has been inserted properly.
 Insert the appliance plug into the mains

There is a manometer on the front side of
the appliance; this indicates the suction un-
der-pressure in the device. If the under or
negative pressure falls below -0.16 bar (-16
kPa), then you must switch off the appli-
ance and clean the filter.

Switch off the appliance using the On/
Off switch.
 Move the lever for cleaning the filter
back and forth a couple of tomes.
If this cleaning does not bring about any im-
provement, then remove the filter and wash
it or replace it (see chapter "Replacing the
filter").
Caution
Please note the following when switch-
ing from wet to dry vacuum cleaning:
If you vacuum dry dust while the filter ele-
ment is still wet the filter will become ob-
structed and may be damaged beyond
repair.
Dry the wet filter properly before use or re-
place it with a dry one.
Change the filter, if required, according to
instructions under the section "Mainte-
nance and Care".
Caution
For sucking in wet substances, the vacu-
uming material container available in the
standard model must be replaced with a
"container for wet and dry vacuuming" that
is available as an accessory.
The floater switch in the container for wet
and dry vacuuming interrupts the suction
flow when the maximum filling level is
reached.
When the suction flow is interrupted by the
floater switch:

Switch off the appliance using the On/
Off switch.
 Drain off the liquids by opening the
drain valve located at the base of the
container.
 Switch off the appliance using the On/
Off switch.
 If necessary, dismantle the accessory
and rinse it with water and let dry.
 Empty the vacuuming material contain-
er (refer chapter "Emptying vacuuming
material container").
 Vacuum and wipe the appliance inside
and outside with a damp cloth.
Note
The vacuuming material container needs to
be emptied if it is full until about 3 cm below
the upper rim.
