Important tips

When wet vacuuming, always vacuum by drawing the carpet
spray nozzle in straight parallel strokes across the surface
towards you.
In order to avoid soiling the carpet again, you should not
walk on shampooed carpets until they have dried.
In order to achieve quicker drying of shampooed surfaces, it
is helpful to remove residual liquid remaining in the carpet by
vacuuming it again – without engaging the valve hook.
When cleaning parquet floors, please observe the instructions
of the parquet floor manufacturer.

If unexpected difficulties arise

If your appliance does not operate to your satisfaction, you do not
have to contact customer service straight away. Please check first as to
whether the fault is due one of the following minor causes:
Dust escaping from suction sockets:
- Has the filter system been fitted in accordance with the
instructions?
- Has an original THOMAS filter been used?
Gradual reduction in suction power:
- Are the pores of the tissue filter clogged up by dust or soot?
- Is the collecting bin or the paper filter bag full?
- Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube or flexible
hose?/Stretch the flexible hose while the appliance is switched
on – this will loosen the obstruction.)
