3 When I use my vacuum cleaner I sometimes feel electric shocks.
- Your vacuum cleaner has built up static electricity. The lower the air humidity in the rooms,
the more static electricity the appliance builds up. Discharge the appliance by frequently holding
the tube against other metal objects in the room (for example the legs of a table or chair,
a radiator etc.). You can also raise the air humidity level in the room.
4 The amount of water in the dust bucket is below the minimum level indication.
- The performance of the vacuum cleaner is not optimal. Fill the dust bucket with water.
Make sure the water level is between the minimum and maximum level.
5 The amount of water in the dust bucket exceeds the maximum level indication.
- Empty the dust bucket until the water level is below the maximum level.
6 I used the vacuum cleaner to pick up water or other liquids.
- The appliance is not suitable for picking up water or liquids. Make sure the water level does not
exceed the maximum level in the dust bucket (see point 4).
7 Water leaks out of the appliance.
- Perhaps you tilted the appliance too much. This can cause water leakage. Keep the vacuum
cleaner flat on the ground.
8 Foam develops inside the dust bucket while I am using the vacuum cleaner.
- If you add soap or perfume to the water, make sure that this is non-foaming soap or perfume.
- If foam develops inside the dust bucket, stop vacuum cleaning. Empty the dust bucket and fill it
with fresh water.
