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, paint thinner, fuel oil
etc. are allowed to mix 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 (see section "Care and maintenance").
Care and maintenance
Always pulI 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 alI accessories used
with warm, soapy water after wet-vacuuming
(particularly sticky liquids).
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents!
If unexpected difficulties arise
Before contacting your dealer, check whether the
fault is due to one of the following minor causes:
When dust is expelled during vacuuming:
Is the paper filter bag or the long-life wet and dry
●
filter correctly fitted, sealed and in order?
Is an original THOMAS filter fitted?
●
Gradual reduction in suction power:
Are the filter pores blocked by fine dust or
●
soot? (remove the long-life wet and dry filter for
cleaning.)
Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube
●
or flexible hose?
Sudden reduction in suction power:
Has the float stopped the flow of air ?
●
This can happen if the appliance is standing
at a slant or if the appliance falls over.
Turn off the vacuum cleaner – the float will falI
back into place – the appliance is ready for use
again.
The motor does not function:
Has the fuse blown?
●
Is ithere damage to the mains cable, plug or
●
socket?
Pull out the plug before checking!
●
Never open the motor yourself!
●
