Important
• Read these instructions in conjunction with the illustrations before using the appliance.
• Before wet use (i.e. vacuuming liquid and shampooing), never forget to
- remove the Micro-filter and the paper dustbag;
- place red diffusor and the float unit.
• Before plugging in for the first time, check that the mains voltage indicated on the rating plate
corresponds with the mains voltage in your home. You will find the rating plate in the
container, at the underside of the motor part.
• Do not insert the mains plug into the wall socket until the appliance is completely ready for
use. Ensure that your hand and the mains plug are dry when (dis)connecting the appliance.
• Always remove the mains plug from the wall socket:
- if the appliance does not function properly;
- before cleaning the appliance;
- before opening the container.
• Only vacuum dry material and dust if the paper dustbag (type "Athena" HR 6947, service nr.
4822 015 70058, for normal dust) or the fabric filter (type HR 6944, service nr. 4822 466 93298,
for coarser material) has been fitted.
• Never vacuum ashes (from ash-trays and fireplaces) until they are completely cold.
• Never vacuum petrol, white spirit, gas-oil, paraffin-oil or other inflammable or explosive
liquids.
Do not use the appliance in rooms with explosive vapours (petrol, thinners, solvents).
• When vacuuming ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances, the pores of the
paper dustbag may become clogged. In that case, the paper dustbag must be replaced,
although perhaps far from being full.
• For replacement, use only the special paper dustbags (type "Athena") which are obtainable
from your dealer.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the motor protection filter.
• Never immerse the motor unit in water.
• The container can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Never point the jet of shampoo to plugs, sockets or electrical appliances.
• Only switch the pump on if the shampoo reservoir has been filled, placed and connected by
means of the two shampoo tubes. Switch the pump off as soon as the reservoir is empty.
The pump may be damaged when running dry!
• Keep the appliance and the cleaning liquid away from children.
• After use always switch off and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
• Always empty, clean and dry the container after wet use. Let the appliance operate with dry
clean air for a couple of minutes to dry the inside of the tubes and hose. (By doing so, you
prevent an unpleasant smell to occur the next time you use the vacuum cleaner. It also
prevents your paper dustbag from becoming wet.)
• Do not store at temperatures below 0 °C to prevent freezing.
