Wet vacuuming
Assembly
A Remove the motor head (2) after connection cable has been
disconnected from the mains plug.
Caution! Remove the filter unit before vacuuming liquids.
L Always ensure that the float (38) is kept clean and in good
condition. It acts as a safety device and automatically interrupts
the flow of air when the collecting bin is full.
D Put the motor block (2) back in position. The control knob on
the appliance must be set at „0".
F Plug the appliance into a mains socket.
Switching on the appliance
M When using the appliance in the wet vacuuming mode, the control
knob (7) must be set at the „carpet + floor nozzle" symbol.
The pilot lamp (6) should not be lit up.
The appliance is ready for use.
Liquids can be directly vacuumed out of containers with either the
vacuum hose or the suction tube.
Take care when vacuuming liquids from high­sided
containers or basins, where the quantity level exceeds
the liquid capacity of the collecting bin. Remember that,
in such a case, the liquid will continue to flow from the
container even if the collecting bin is full and the float has
stopped the suction flow of the appliance.
Therefore, vacuum only small quantities of liquid at a time and empty
the collecting bin before switching on again.
Always lift the suction tube out of the liquid before switching off the motor.
Warning! If petrol, paint thinner, fuel oil etc. are allowed to mix with
the suction air flow, explosive fumes or compounds may be formed.
Acetone, 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.
Operating the spray­extraction system
Before spray-extraction cleaning
Make sure that what is to be cleaned by spray-extraction is suitable
for this purpose.
Do not use the appliance for delicate, hand-woven or non-fast carpets.
Test the colour-fastness of your carpet by pouring a little cleaning
solution onto a white cloth and rubbing this onto a normally hidden
section of the carpet. If there are no traces of dye on the cloth, it can
be assumed that the carpet is colour-fast.
However, if dye comes off onto the cloth, do not clean the carpet by
spray-extraction.
If you are in doubt, contact a specialist dealer.
Before shampooing your carpet, vacuum-clean the whole area
thoroughly.
Ensure that the room is well-aired during and after spray-extraction
cleaning to enable the carpet to dry quickly.
Carpet shampooing
A Pull out the plug and lift off the motor block (2).

ensure that the extraction liquid tank (28) is inserted in the
collecting bin.
