Vacuuming liquids

When you vacuum water from a place that is located higher than the appliance itself (e.g. a

roof gutter or roof water tank), the appliance inevitably functions as a syphon. As a result, the

container lls up more quickly than usual and may overow. Make sure you never exceed the

maximum capacity of the container (9 litres/2 gallons). At regular intervals, lift the nozzle out

of the water, switch off the appliance, remove the mains plug from the wall socket and empty

the container. (Fig. 36)

Shampooing carpets

1 Start as far away from the door as possible and then work your way towards the door.

2 Apply shampoo by squeezing the trigger on the handgrip of the tube. (Fig. 37)

3 Make overlapping strokes to cover the entire area to be cleaned.

Note:If there are still traces of liquid on the area you have just cleaned, pass the vacuum cleaner over

this area once more without applying shampoo.

4 After shampooing, release the trigger and switch off the pump. Keep the appliance switched

on. (Fig. 38)

5 Lift the nozzle off the oor. Then simply let the appliance suck in dry air for some time to dry

the inside of the suction hose and tube. (Fig. 39)

6 Switch off the appliance.

Then release the trigger and move the nozzle over the cleaned area a few times without

applying shampoo.

Deep cleaning

For thorough cleaning of a very dirty carpet or part of a carpet, move the nozzle over the area

to be cleaned a few times while you apply shampoo.

Allow the shampoo to act on the area for several minutes before you switch on the motor

again to suck up the shampoo.

Be careful not to apply too much shampoo, as this may damage the carpet.
