Wet Vacuuming

 Do not vacuum inflammable or explosive fluids; for ex-
ample, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents. Do not vacuum
hot or burning dust. Do not operate the machine in
rooms where the danger of an explosion exists. The
dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or explode.
 The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a water pump.
The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming air and wa-
ter mixtures.
 Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the
mains plug.
– Before wet vacuuming, remove the plastic bag 19 or the
dust bag and empty the container 1.
Note: Use the wet filter 21, which separates the liquid from
the solids, to make disposal easier when vacuuming water-
solid mixtures.
– Insert the wet filter into the container (see "Inserting the
Wet Filter", page 11).
– Mount the rubber lips into the floor nozzle (see "Inserting
the Rubber Lip", page 11).
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a float. Vacuuming is
stopped when the maximum filling level is reached.
– Set the mode selector switch 4 to the "Switching Off" sym-
bol (GAS 15 PS) or set the On/Off switch 5 to "Off"
(GAS 15).

To prevent the formation of mould after wet vacuuming:
– Remove the vacuum lid 8 and leave it to dry thoroughly.
– Remove the wet filter 21 and also leave this to dry thor-
oughly.
Semi-Automatic Filter Cleaning (see figure G)
The filter cleaning system must be actuated at the latest when
the vacuuming performance is no longer sufficient.
The filter cleaning frequency depends on the type and amount
of dust. With regular usage, the maximum vacuuming perfor-
mance is maintained longer.
During semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC), the air flow is re-
versed to clean deposited dust from the flaps of the filter.
