solid and liquid suction unit with the appropri-
ate accessories upon request.
It has only been designed for these uses.
DANGER:
The manufacturer can not be held respon-
sible for any damage due to improper or
incorrect use.
Any other use releases the manufacturer
from liability for harm to persons and/or

- Aspirate flammable, explosive, corrosive
and toxic substances.
- Aspirate hot substances.
- Do not use the appliance in liquid suction
mode to suction powder and vice versa
Do not use the appliance in areas at risk of
explosion.
PREPARING THE
APPLIANCE
Assembling the hoses
- Insert, as far as possible, the sleeve (1
Fig. 1) of the suction hose into the nozzle
(2 Fig. 1) on the drum.
- To release the sleeve (1 Fig. 2) move the
lever (3 Fig. 2) clockwise then pull the
sleeve outwards (1 Fig. 2).
- Connect the (4 Fig. 3) detergent delivery
hose to the quick coupling (5 Fig. 3); to
release it push the quick coupling (5 Fig.
3) inwards.
- Connect the detergent suction (6 Fig. 4)
hose to the quick coupling (7 Fig. 4); to
release it push the quick coupling (7 Fig.
4) inwards.
Rigid pipe assembly for washing
carpets or floors (if present)
After connecting the suction hose to the out-
let the drum, do as follows:
- Make sure the lever (8 Fig. 5) is in verti-
cal position then attach the first extension
(10 Fig. 5) to the ergonomic handle (9
Fig. 5) of the flexible hose and lock it in
place by turning the lever (8 Fig. 5) to the
horizontal position.
- Attach the first extension (10 Fig. 6) to the
second extension (11 Fig. 6) and lock it
in place using the lever (12 Fig. 6) as de-
scribed previously for the first extension.
- Attach the floor nozzle (13 Fig. 7) to the

present)
After connecting the suction hose to the out-
let the drum, do as follows:
- Make sure the lever (8 Fig. 8) is in vertical
position then attach the fabric nozzle (15
Fig. 8) to the ergonomic handle (9 Fig. 8)
and lock it in place by turning the lever (8
Fig. 8) to the horizontal position.
Professional hose assembly for fab-
ric washing (if present)
After connecting the suction hose to the out-
let the drum, do as follows:
- Insert the fabric nozzle (16 Fig. 9) into the
flexible hose (17 Fig. 9).
- Connect the detergent hose (18 Fig. 9)
to the quick coupling (19 Fig. 9) on the
flexible hose; to release it push the quick
coupling (19 Fig. 9) towards the hose.
Filling the detergent tank
- Remove the cap (20 Fig. 10) and pour
the detergent liquid (suitable for the sur-
faces to be washed) into the tank (21 Fig.
10).
NOTE:
For detergent dosing refer to the manufac-
turer’s instructions.
- Put the cap back on (20 Fig. 10).
USING THE APPLICANCE
- The appliance is fitted with wheels and
can therefore be pulled along using the
flexible hose.
- To lift it up, insert your fingers under the
handle (22 Fig. 11) on the top of the cov-
er.
Starting up the appliance
- Insert the plug (23 Fig. 12) into the electri-
cal socket.
- Push the switch (24 Fig. 13) on “I” to start
the suction motor; the switch lights up.
- Push the switch (25 Fig. 13) on “I” to start
the detergent pump; the switch lights up.
NOTE:
The suction motor and the detergent pump
operate independently; therefore, it is pos-
sible to:
- wash fabrics or floors/ carpets by starting
only the detergent pump;
- wash and suction liquid simultaneously
by starting up the detergent pump and
suction motor at the same time;
- suction liquids by only starting the suction
motor.
NOTE:
For the ergonomic handle (if present) it is
possible to adjust the suction force using the
selector (26 Fig. 14).
The suction force is decreased by opening
the window (27 Fig. 14).
Washing floors or carpets
- To wash floors or carpets it is necessary
to mount the hose with ergonomic handle
(9 Fig. 15), the rigid extensions (10 and
11 Fig. 15) and the floor nozzle (13 Fig.
15), if present.
- Start the suction motor and the detergent
pump by pressing the relative switches
(24 - 25 Fig. 13).
- Press the switch (28 Fig. 15) to dispense
the detergent, release the button to stop
dispensing.
The switch (28 Fig. 15) can be blocked
in the pushed position (continuous deter-
gent dispensing) by moving the slide (29
Fig. 15) towards the switch (28 Fig. 15).
When the slide (29 Fig. 15) is moved
back to its original position the switch is
released and detergent dispensing stops.
- The detergent released washes the floor/
carpet / and the dirty liquid is suctioned
into the tank of the appliance.
