moist cloth and wipe dry .
If there is a reduction in suction power, change the
paper filter .
If necessary, the collecting bin can be washed out with
water . Ensure that the bin is completely dry before
using again .
Rinse out the collecting bin and all 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:
Dust escaping from suction socket:
• Are the foam and protective paper filters correctly
positioned and undamaged?
• Have you used the correct original filters?
Gradual reduction in suction power:
• Is the collecting bin full?
• Are the pores of the filter clogged up by dust or
soot?
• Is the paper filter bag full?
• Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube or
flexible hose? (Stretch the flexible hose while the
appliance is switched on - this will loosen the
obstruction .)
• Is the protective motor filter dirty?
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

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
- the float will fall back into place - the appliance is
ready for use again .
The motor does not function:
• Has the fuse blown?
• Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or socket?
Pull out the plug before checking!
• Never open the motor yourself!
Cleaning solution does not flow out:
• Clean the filter mesh at the end of the cleaning
solution tube (37) .
• Is the pump switched on?
(The pilot lamp [6] should be lit up .)
• Is there cleaning solution in the extraction liquid
tank?
• Is the cleaning solution tube dangling freely into the
extraction liquid tank?
• Is the delivery tube nozzle blocked?
(In this case, unscrew the cap nut and place the
nozzle in water for a time . Subsequently, blow
vigorously through the nozzle . When replacing the
nozzle, ensure that the jet spray opening stands
parallel to the suction tube .)
