Wet use
Vacuuming liquids
When you vacuum water from a place that is located higher than the appliance itself (e.g. a
roof gutter or roof water tank), the appliance inevitably functions as a syphon. As a result, the
container lls up more quickly than usual and may overow. Make sure you never exceed the
maximum capacity of the container (9 litres/2 gallons). At regular intervals, lift the nozzle out
of the water, switch off the appliance, remove the mains plug from the wall socket and empty
the container. (Fig. 36)
Shampooing carpets
1 Start as far away from the door as possible and then work your way towards the door.
2 Apply shampoo by squeezing the trigger on the handgrip of the tube. (Fig. 37)
3 Make overlapping strokes to cover the entire area to be cleaned.
Note:If there are still traces of liquid on the area you have just cleaned, pass the vacuum cleaner over
this area once more without applying shampoo.
4 After shampooing, release the trigger and switch off the pump. Keep the appliance switched
on. (Fig. 38)
5 Lift the nozzle off the oor. Then simply let the appliance suck in dry air for some time to dry
the inside of the suction hose and tube. (Fig. 39)
6 Switch off the appliance.
