Dry-vacuuming
Caution!
Never use the appliance for dry vacuuming
without a filter.
Plug the unit into the mains. Use the switch 3 on
the motor casing to switch the general-purpose
vacuum cleaner on and off.
Use of tools and accessories
Insert both suction tubes into the curved tube with
suction control.
Universal brush nozzle
For use on smooth floors (tiles, stone and PVC)
and carpets, as well as for vacuuming liquids.
Triangular nozzle
For vacuuming coarse debris, leaves, shavings
etc.
Crevice nozzle ø 32 mm
For vacuuming in corners, grooves and slits.
Crevice nozzle ø 50 mm/inclined tube
nozzle
For heavy soiling (e.g. wood shavings) in hard-to-
reach places.
After use
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug.
Wind the mains cable loosely in the hand and sto-
re under the carrying handle.
Vacuuming liquids
If a paper filter bag has been fitted in the app-
liance, remove it before vacuuming liquids, as it
will otherwise disintegrate.
When cleaning moist or wet dirt, insert the
THOMAS long-life wet and dry filter. The paper
filter bag must be removed.
When vacuuming liquids from a container, use
only the flexible hose or suction tubes.
Always ensure that the float is kept clean and in
good condition. It acts as a safety device and
automaticalIy interrupts the flow of air when the
collecting bin is full.
Take care when vacuuming water from high-sided
containers or basins where the quantity level
exceeds the liquid capacity of the collecting bin.
Remember that, in such a case, the water will
continue to flow from the container even if the
collecting bin is full and the float has stopped the
suction flow on the appliance.
Therefore, vacuum only small quantities of water
at a time and empty the collecting bin before
switching on again.
Always lift the suction tube out of the water before
switching off the motor. Pull out the plug.
Warning! If petrol, point thinner fuel oil etc.
are mixed with suction air flow, explosive
fumes or compounds may be formed.
Acetones, acids and solvents may attack the
materials on your appliance.
It is quite safe to vacuum water which contains
ordinary household cleaning agents.
After vacuuming liquids, the collecting bin and all
accessories used should be wiped clean and left
to dry.
Care and maintenance
Always pull out the plug before cleaning the
appliance! Never immerse the motor block in
water!
Clean the motor block casing and collecting bin
with a moist cloth and wipe dry.
If there is a reduction in suction power, change
the paper filter bag.
If necessary, the collecting bin can be washed out
with water. Ensure that the bin is completely dry
before using again.
Rinse out collecting bin and all accessories used
with warm, soapy water after wet-vacuuming
(particularly sticky liquids).
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents!
