Caution!
When changing from wet to dry vacuuming
note the following:
If you vacuum dry dust while the filter is still
i
wet, the dust will stick to the filter making it
impermeable, and may thus damage it beyond
repair.
Therefore: Always allow wet filters to dry
before use!
Dry vacuuming - carpets
! As it capacitates dust-free emptying, we
recommend that you insert the paper filter bag
as well. This has the added advantage that the
filter does not become dirty so quickly.
