Wet vacuuming

Note: The requirements for the degree of penetration (dust class M) have only been verified for dry extraction.

Empty the container (1) and remove the fleece filter bag (33).

Check the fill level sensor (43) for dirt. The fill level sensor must be clean in order for the dust extractor to switch off automatically when the container is full see Cleaning the fill level sensor (see figures PQ).

  • During wet extraction, the automatic filter cleaning function must be deactivated.

Press the automatic filter cleaning button (10) to activate manual filter cleaning  see Manual Filter Cleaning. This deactivates automatic filter cleaning and LED indicator A (5) goes out.

WARNING

If you notice a foam or water leak, switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately and empty the container. Otherwise, the vacuum cleaner can become damaged.

To switch on the dust extractor, turn the main switch (2) to position 1.

The dust extractor is equipped with fill level sensors (43). If the maximum fill level has been reached, the dust extractor automatically switches off and the two LED indicators A (5) and M (6) flash simultaneously once a second. Restart protection is activated and can be deactivated by switching the dust extractor on and off once.

Note: Check the fill level regularly and empty the container in good time. If, during wet extraction, an acoustic warning signal sounds, no measures are necessary. The operational safety of the dust extractor is not impaired.

To switch off the dust extractor, turn the main switch (2) to position 0.

Hold the container (1) in the rear handle section (25) and twist it forwards to drain the liquid.

After wet vacuuming, always clean the fill level sensor (43)  see Cleaning the fill level sensor (see figures PQ).

To prevent mould growth after wet extraction:

  • Remove the flat-pleated filter (34) and leave this to dry thoroughly.
  • Remove the top part of the dust extractor (16), open the filter cover (40) and leave both elements to dry thoroughly.
