When vacuuming liquids, it is crucial to remove any dry filters (like dust bags or HEPA filters) and install a foam filter if provided, or ensure the wet filter system is in place. The tank has a capacity of 25 liters.
- Important: Remove all dry filters and dust bags. Install the foam filter for wet use if applicable.
- Connect the vacuum cleaner to a suitable power outlet.
- Turn the power switch to the 'ON' position.
