Without a nozzle

Liquids can be directly vacuumed out of

containers using the vacuuming hose, the

vacuuming pipe or the groove nozzle.

Remove these parts from the liquid prior to

switching off the appliance to ensure that the

vacuuming pipe is vacuumed clean.

0 Exercise caution when vacuuming from containers e.g. bowls whose

liquid level is higher and whose contents is larger than the capacity of

the dust container; in such an event, if the dust container is full and

the flotation valve has therefore closed, liquid will continue to flow up

in accordance with the siphoning principle. For this reason, in such

cases only vacuum up a portion of the total amount and empty the

dust container at intervals.

When the dust container’s maximum capacity has been attained, this

can be heard by the higher-pitched sound made by the motor, and no

more liquid will be extracted. Then immediately switch off the

appliance and empty the dust container.

If the appliance tips over while wet vacuuming, first right the appliance

while the motor is still running and then switch off the motor. After a

short while, when the flotation ball has dropped back to its normal

position, the motor can be switched on again.

Caution: Petrol, thinner, heating oil and other flammable liquids can

form explosive vapours or mixes due to turbulence with the vacuum air.

Acetone, acids and solvents can corrode the materials used to construct

the appliance.

Water used for cleaning and dirty water containing commercially

available household detergents can be vacuumed up without any cause

for concern.

Spray vacuum cleaning

0 Only spray vacuum those surfaces and upholstery which are suitable to

be wet vacuum cleaned. Do not wet fragile hand-woven carpets or

carpets which are not colour-fast.

Caution: When spray vacuum cleaning be sure to use only AEG

detergent with foam inhibitor for spray vacuum appliances.

Preparation:

0 Prior to treating a carpet for the first time, test the fastness of the

colour by applying some detergent concentrate to a white cloth and

rub it onto a patch of carpet that is not so visible.

If no traces of colour remain on the cloth, the carpet can be cleaned

using water. In any other event, do not use water when cleaning the

carpet.

Prior to spray vacuum cleaning carpets, thoroughly vacuum the entire

area in order to remove any loose dirt in advance.

Before commencing spray vacuuming always remove the paper filter

and the foam filter.

0 Pour water and detergent concentrate into the

detergent tank: 20 ml detergent concentrate per

litre of water.

Use only lukewarm water, as higher

temperatures could damage the appliance and

carpets and upholstery.

Place the detergent tank inside the dust

container.

0 To draw up the cleaning liquid out of the tank,

free the thin hose located on the motor head

from where it has been fastened.

Then attach the motor head on the dust

container such that the switch is located

vertically above the suction hole. When doing

this, ensure that the thin hose is immersed in the

cleaning liquid.

Then press the two vice action latches.

Connecting the vacuuming hose, pressure hose and vacuuming

pipes

0 Insert the hose inserts into the suction hole as in

the picture and turn it to the right until it locks

0 Press the pressure hose into the clips and secure

these to the vacuuming hose such that they are

evenly spaced.

0 At the other end of the vacuuming hose connect

the two vacuuming pipes to the handle, by first

connecting the pipe without hook-in pins and

then the one with pins.

Insert the shut-off valve located on the pressure

hose into the track located on the upper

vacuuming pipe as far as it will go. Then turn the

vacuuming pipe such that the shut-off valve is

located on the underside of the handle.

Align the second lower vacuuming pipe such that the clamping pieces

for the pressure hose are located on the same side as for the upper

pipe.

Working with the nozzles when spray vacuuming

The nozzles are all attached to the vacuuming pipe by pressing and

twisting and are removed by pulling and twisting.

Spray suction nozzle for carpet

For using water when cleaning carpeting

0 Attach the wide transparent nozzle to the end of

the lower vacuuming pipe press the pressure

hose attached to it into the clamping pieces

located on the vacuuming pipes or secure the

pressure hose to the stainless steel pipe using

pipe clips.

0 Attach the coupling piece located at the upper

end of the pressure hose to the shut-off valve

and lock it by turning it clockwise.

To detach the pressure hose from the shut-off

valve, turn the coupling piece anti-clockwise to

unlock it and remove it from the shut-off valve.

Hard flooring adapter

For using water when cleaning hard floors made

of ceramic, stone or synthetic materials.

Spray suction nozzle for upholstery

For using water when cleaning upholstery, car

seats etc. For better handling, the small

transparent nozzle can be connected directly to

the handle of the vacuuming hose:

0 If necessary, unlock the pressure hose by turning

it anti-clockwise and remove it if it is still

connected to the shut-off valve. Pull the shut-

off valve out of the track located on the

vacuuming pipe.

Remove the vacuuming pipes from the vacuuming hose handle by

gently twisting them.

0 Attach the upholstery spray suction nozzle onto

the vacuuming hose handle and push the shut-

off valve into the track located on the nozzle as

far as it will go. Attach the coupling piece

located at the upper end of the pressure hose

which is on the nozzle to the shut-off valve and

lock it by turning it clockwise.

Switching on the appliance

0 While spray vacuuming and afterwards the room should be well aired in

order to facilitate rapid drying.

0 The rocker switch must be pressed in the

direction of the spray suction nozzle symbol

” ”. Plug the cable into the power outlet: To

switch the appliance on, turn the rotary switch

to the ”I” symbol.

The rocker switch will illuminate.

Spray vacuum cleaning of carpets

0 Place the spray suction nozzle for carpet on the

carpet in one corner of the room. Press and hold

down the valve handle located on the handle

until the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the

carpet. Then slowly pull the nozzle that has been

placed on the carpet in a straight line across the

carpet in the direction of the arrow. The

cleaning liquid which has been sprayed into the

carpet pile is vacuumed up together with the

released dirt in the same step. In this way the carpet becomes damp,

but not wet through.

0 At the end of the strip of carpet, or when pausing, release the valve

handle in order to stop the jet of spray. When the liquid that has been

sprayed out is vacuumed up again, lift up the nozzle and begin

vacuuming a new strip of carpet with a small overlap. In this way the

entire area can be treated strip by strip. Should traces of liquid remain

on a strip of carpet that has been cleaned, these areas can be

vacuumed over again with the valve handle released. All that this is

doing is removing additional moisture from the carpet. The amount of

moisture extracted can be checked by looking through the transparent

top section of the nozzle. For a longer penetration time and in order to

achieve a certain soaking effect, the detergent can be applied with the

spray suction nozzle for carpet held above the carpet and then,

following a short soaking period, the detergent can be vacuumed up.

However, one must ensure that not too much liquid is sprayed onto the

carpet, as this could cause (according to the material) ripples or raised

areas to appear in the carpet.
