Dry-vacuuming

Caution!
Never use the appliance for dry vacuuming
without a filter.
Plug the unit into the mains. Use the switch 3 on the
motor casing to switch the general-purpose vacuum
cleaner on and off.
Use of tools and accessories
Insert both suction tubes into the curved tube with suc-
tion control.
Universal brush nozzle
For use on smooth floors (tiles, stone and PVC) and car-
pets, as well as for vacuuming liquids.
Triangular nozzle
For vacuuming coarse debris, leaves, shavings etc.
Crevice nozzle ø 32 mm

For heavy soiling (e.g. wood shavings) in hard-to-reach
places.
After use
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug. Wind
the mains cable loosely in the hand and store under the
carrying handle.
Vacuuming liquids
If a paper filter bag has been fitted in the app liance,
remove it before vacuuming liquids, as it will otherwise
disintegrate.
When cleaning moist or wet dirt, insert the THOMAS
long-life wet and dry filter. The paper filter bag must
be removed.
When vacuuming liquids from a container, use only the
flexible hose or suction tubes.
Always ensure that the float is kept clean and in good
condition. It acts as a safety device and automaticalIy
interrupts the flow of air when the collecting bin is full.
Take care when vacuuming water from high-sided
containers or basins where the quantity level exceeds
the liquid capacity of the collecting bin. Remember that,
in such a case, the water will continue to flow from the
container even if the collecting bin is full and the float
has stopped the suction flow on the appliance.
Therefore, vacuum only small quantities of water at a
time and empty the collecting bin before switching on
again.
Always lift the suction tube out of the water before
switching off the motor. Pull out the plug.
Warning! If petrol, point thinner fuel oil etc.
are mixed with suction air flow, explosive
fumes or compounds may be formed.
Acetones, acids and solvents may attack the materials
on your appliance.
It is quite safe to vacuum water which contains ordinary
household cleaning agents.
After vacuuming liquids, the collecting bin and all
accessories used should be wiped clean and left to dry.

Care and maintenance

Always pull out the plug before cleaning the
appliance! Never immerse the motor block in water!
Clean the motor block casing and collecting bin with a
moist cloth and wipe dry.
If there is a reduction in suction power, change the
paper filter bag.
If necessary, the collecting bin can be washed out with
water. Ensure that the bin is completely dry before
using again.
Rinse out collecting bin and all accessories used with
warm, soapy water after wet-vacuuming (particularly
sticky liquids).
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents!
