Wet Vacuuming; If Unexpected Difficulties Arise; Customer Service - Hoover WET & DRY S 5135 User Instructions

Wet vacuuming

Always remove the filter assembly (figure
D+E) before commencing wet vacuuming,
since otherwise the filter assembly will be
ruined. Do not forget to unplug the power
cord before removing the motor housing (2)
from the tank.
When vacuuming out containers in which the
liquid level is higher than the top of the collecting
bin and which have a larger volume than the
capacity of the collecting bin, liquid can continue
to be vacuumed beyond the capacity of the
collecting bin if the float valve is closed.
In such cases, vacuum only in partial amounts and
intermittently empty the collecting bin.
Lift the tube and flexible hose out of the liquid first and
then turn off the appliance afterwards, in order to
prevent an overflow of liquid.
Keep the float valve (27, fig. K) clean and
accessible at all times. It automatically interrupts
vacuuming when the collecting bin is full.
After completion of wet vacuuming, please clean
and dry the appliance and the accessories used.

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 HOOVER filter been used?
Gradual reduction in suction power:
- Are the pores of the paper filter bag clogged up by
dust or soot?
- Is the collecting bin 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.
Water is coming out of the air expulsion
openings of the appliance during
vacuuming:
- Is the float (figure K) blocked when vacuuming liquid
and unable to operate?
8
Sudden reduction in suction power
- Has the float stopped the flow of air? This can
happen if the appliance is standing at a slant or if
the appliance falls over. Turn off the vacuum
cleaner – the float will fall back into place – the
appliance is ready for use again.
The motor does not function:
- Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or socket?
- Pull out the plug before checking.
- Never open the motor yourself!
