Congratulations on your new
purchase!
Enjoy your appliance to the full through
correct usage.
Applications
You are now the owner of one of the most efficient
and versatile appliances available, which can easily be
adapted for any one of its four cleaning functions.
The THOMAS 4 in 1 can be used as a vacuum cleaner
for cleaning carpets, upholstery, smooth floors and for
regular household care; it can vacuum dirt as well as
liquids, e.g. it can clear blocked sinks and drains. With
only a few simple accessories, it can be used for
shampooing your carpets or upholstery.
The THOMAS 4 in 1 is a multi-purpose product.
In conjunction with the cleaning solution, the spray-
extraction function enables you to clean carpets,
upholstery and hard floors. The wet vacuuming mode
is suitable for picking up water-based liquids only and
it should never be used for vacuuming inflammable
liquids. As a vacuum cleaner, it is intended for the
removal of dry dirt and dust from carpets, floors,
furniture and curtains.

Assembly instructions

Assembling the THOMAS 4 in 1.
The parts required for the chassis are to be found
loosely packed in the carton.
Assembling the castor wheels
A Undo the snap-on fasteners (3) and lift off the
motor block (2).
B Take out the extraction liquid tank (28) and
cleaning solution. Turn the collecting bin (1) upside
down, i.e. with the opening facing the floor.
C To facilitate assembly, we recommend lightly
greasing the pegs at both ends.
First insert the pegs (30) in the base of the
collecting bin (1), then push them in, together with
the castors, as far as they will go.
14
Turn the collecting bin (1) back over onto the
castors (4) and check that these have been
correctly assembled by moving the collecting bin
(1) back and forth in all directions.
Fitting the motor block
D Place the motor block (2) on the collecting bin (1),
making sure that the surfaces of both parts
correspond. Secure the motor block (2) by means
of both snap-on fasteners (3).
Connecting the flexible hose
E Insert the flexible hose (13) in the suction socket (8)
in such a manner that the markings on both the
suction socket and the hose connecting piece
correspond and the button clicks into place.
Remove the hose by turning the hose connecting
piece and slowly with drawing the hose.
Then attach the desired accessories.
Suction tube holder
F The suction tubes (14) complete with accessories
and flexible hose (13) can be hooked into the
fixtures at the back of the appliance.
Cable storage
G After use, the mains cable (1) can be wound
loosely in the hand and hung over the notch in the
carrying handle, as shown in the illustration.
Changing the filter
Always pull out the plug before changing
the filter!
NOTE!
Hygienic filter change and emptying of the
collector bin.
Emptying the collector bin and change of all filter
types used in the vacuum cleaner (e.g. foam-/paper
filters, paper filter bags, etc.) can be done hygienically.
To this end, please use the hygienic gloves included in
the delivery.
Replacement gloves are readily available at relevant
supply stores.
Motor protection filter
J After each wet suction and spray extraction
process, check the motor protection filter (33) for
contaminations and clean if required. For this,
open the float valve (38) in the direction of the
arrow, and take the motor protection filter from
the suction opening. Replace the cleaned or new
filter and then put the float valve back in place.
