General notes

Before using your appliance for the
first time, read these original operating
instructions, act in compliance with
them, and keep them for later use or
for subsequent owners.
This appliance has been designed for use in private
households and is not intended for commercial use.
The appliance is intended for use as a dry vacuum
cleaner corresponding to the descriptions given in these
operating instructions and the safety notes.
As an option, small volumes of liquid can be vacuumed.
– Use this appliance only with a filled water filter con-
tainer.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage that may
occur on account of improper use or wrong operation.
Description and effectiveness
The three-stage filter system of the water filter vacuum,
which consists of a water filter, intermediate filter and
HEPA filter, retains * 99.95% / 99.5% of all particles
above 0.3 μm that are sucked in. What flows out is
fresh, purified exhaust gas. Since the water in the water
filter binds the dirt particles, no dust is stirred up when
the water is emptied. This means that the unit is also
suitable for allergic persons.
