fine, dry dirt.
Information: Coarse, dry dirt can also be vacuumed
up without the paper filter bag.
If the filter status display is lit red, the paper
filter bag is full or the flat pleated filter or
accessory is blocked. Please read the chapter
on "Regular maintenance procedures".
Wet vacuuming
Always work without a paper filter bag.
The dry-vacuuming tool (Pos. F) contains
components which are subject to corrosion,
therefore please use for dry-vacuuming only.
Information:If the container is full of liquid, a float
closes the intake and the suction motor runs at an
increased rate. Switch off the appliance immediately
and empty the container.
When the container has been emptied, you
can continue vacuuming immediately.
