IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle
completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The
machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction action when the container
reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an increase in motor speed. When this
happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, and drain the liquid into a
suitable receptacle or drain. To continue
vacuuming, refit the container with the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine
off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the container, clean and dry the inside
