Wet vacuuming
- Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or solvents. Do not vacuum hot, burning or explosive dust. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner in areas subject to explosion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can ignite or explode.
- The vacuum cleaner must not be used as a water pump. The vacuum cleaner is designed for vacuuming air and vacuuming water mixtures.
Note: When wet vacuuming, ensure that the main filter (19) is removed from the vacuum cleaner.
Steps to Take before Wet Vacuuming
- Open the catches (8) and remove the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7).
- Turn the filter holder (29) as far as possible in the direction of rotation
and take the filter holder, together with the main filter (19), out of the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7).
- Remove the plastic bag (18) or dust bag if necessary.
- Place the wet filter (20) over the filter basket (30).
- Put the top part of the vacuum cleaner (7) on and close the catches (8).
- Place the rubber lip (22) in the floor nozzle (24).
Vacuuming up liquids
- Switch the dust extractor on (GAS 15: On/off switch (4) to "on"; GAS 15 PS: Mode selector switch (4) to the "extraction" symbol).
The dust extractor is equipped with a float. Extraction is stopped when the maximum filling level is reached.
- Set the on/off switch (4) to "off" (GAS 15) or set the mode selector switch (4) to the "switch off" symbol (GAS 15 PS).
- Empty the container (1).
To prevent mould growth after wet extraction:
- Remove the top part of the dust extractor (7) and leave it to dry thoroughly.
- Remove the wet filter (20) and also leave this to dry thoroughly.
