IMPORTANT
When vacuuming large volumes of liquid, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the
liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow for air inow. The machine is
tted with a oat valve that stops the suction when the container reaches its maximum
capacity an increase in motor speed will be heard. When this happens, turn off the
machine, disconnect from power supply and empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or
drain. To continue vacuuming, ret the power head to the container. After wet vacuuming,
turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the machine
becoming moldy, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the
container and remove the foam lter and allow to air dry before storage.
The oat valve is a safety feature. Do not attempt to remove or modify this in any way. If
the cleaner should overturn during wet operation, switch off immediately and return it to
an upright position. Wait for the valve to reset before commencing cleaning.
