Start up
 Bring the appliance to working position - secure it,
if required, with parking brakes.
 Insert the suction hose into the suction hose con-
nection.
 Attach the desired accessoried to the suction hose.
 Ensure that the vacuum material container has
been inserted properly.
Warning
The highest allowed net impedance at the electrical
connection point (refer to technical specifications) is not
to be exceeded.
In case of confusion regarding the power impedance
present on your connection, please contact your utilities
provider.
LP appliances
LP appliances are equipped with a waste hose system.
Devices with a waste hose system are not suitable for
wet vacuum cleaning.
Inserting the waste hose
 Remove all 4 loops of the waste hose (length:
22 m).
 Open the intake by a rotation to the left and pull it
out towards the bottom.
 Insert the waste hose as shown in the illustration.
 Insert the intake and lock it by clockwise rotation.
 Pull down the waste hose 40-50 cm.
 Close the end of the waste hose by means of a ca-
ble tie.
Operation
After vacuuming moist or liquid substances, observe the
notes in chapter "Changing from wet vacuuming to dry
vacuuming".
IVS 100/40
 Insert the appliance plug into the mains socket.
 Turn the On/Off switch to "1".
IVS 100/55 and IVS 100/75

 Turn the On/Off switch to "1".
 Press "Switch-on appliance" button.
 Perform the suction process.
 Regularly check the filling level in the dirt recepta-
cle, since the device does not switch off automati-
cally.
 Empty the vacuum cleaner waste container as nec-
essary (described in the chapter "Emptying the
vacuum cleaner waste container").
 If necessary, clean or replace the filter (described
in chapter "Care and maintenance").
Wet vacuum cleaning
ATTENTION
Risk of damage! Devices with a waste hose system are
not suitable for wet vacuum cleaning.
Caution: Constantly monitor the fill level in the dirt
receptacle when vacuuming high volumes of liquid,
as the receptacle can be filled within a matter of sec-
onds and could overflow.
 On completion of wet vacuum cleaning: Dry the fil-
ter. Clean the container with a moist cloth and dry
it off.
Changeover from wet to dry vacuum
ATTENTION
Please note the following when switching from wet
to dry vacuum cleaning:
If you vacuum dry dust while the filter element is still wet
the filter will become obstructed and may be damaged
beyond repair.
 Dry the wet filter properly before use or replace it
with a dry one.
 Change the filter, if required, according to instruc-
tions under the section "Maintenance and Care".
A pressure gauge showing the vacuum inside the de-
vice is located on the front of the device. If the vacuum
is greater than the value given in the table, then the de-
vice must be switched off and the filter cleaned.
