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 inow. The machine
is tted with a oat 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, 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.
