6. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the risk of
possible mildew, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container, and remove
the foam filter and allow to air dry before storage.
IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the
liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float
valve that stops the suction action when the container reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an
increase in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, and
empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the power head to the
container. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the
risk of possible mildew, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container, and
remove the foam filter and allow to air dry before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge filter must be
installed before dry vacuuming again.

NOTICE! The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles.
The cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up and small amounts of liquids. A dry cartridge filter is
necessary to pick up dust. If the cartridge filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be difficult to clean. Handle
the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing. Check the filters for tears or small holes,
a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it,
replace it immediately.
