without the squeegee accessory.
Warning! Your product is designed for light spills only.
uThis appliance can also be used to pick up everyday liquid
spills. Use the squeegee accessory on non-absorbent,
hard surfaces. On absorbent surfaces, such as carpet,
your appliance will pick up wet spills better without the
accessory.
uFor best performance on hard surface wet pickups, insert
squeegee into the bowl nozzle opening.
uFor best results when using this accessory, hold the appli-
ance at an angle of 45° and pull it slowly towards you.
uDo not ll the bowl beyond the end of the intake chute. If
there is any liquid in the bowl, do not turn the unit upside
down, sideways, point the nozzle upward, or shake the
vac excessively.
uAfter picking up liquid substances clean the appliance and
lter immediately. Mold and mildew may form if the unit is
not properly cleaned after wet pickups.
uBefore charging, be sure to empty all liquid contents and
dry thoroughly, to avoid damage to your appliance.
