2. Connect the Suction Hose: Insert the large end of the suction hose into the inlet port on the front of the vacuum unit until it clicks into place. For the blow function, connect the hose to the exhaust port.
3. Assemble Extension Tubes and Nozzle: Connect the extension tubes to the handle end of the suction hose, then attach the desired nozzle (floor nozzle or crevice nozzle).
4. Install Filter: For dry vacuuming, ensure the washable filter is correctly installed. For wet vacuuming, the filter should be removed unless using a specialized wet filter.

Operating Instructions

1. Dry Vacuuming

• Ensure the washable filter is clean and correctly installed.
• Optionally, insert a dust bag for easier disposal of dry debris.
• Connect the vacuum to a suitable power outlet.
• Turn the vacuum ON using the power switch.
• Use the appropriate nozzle for the surface (e.g., floor nozzle for carpets and hard floors, crevice nozzle for tight spaces).

2. Wet Vacuuming

• Remove the dust bag and the standard washable filter. For wet vacuuming, the standard filter must be removed to prevent damage. Some specialized wet filters may be used, refer to their specific instructions.
• Connect the vacuum to a suitable power outlet.
• Turn the vacuum ON.
• Use the floor nozzle to pick up liquids. The vacuum will automatically stop suction when the maximum liquid level is reached.
• After wet vacuuming, empty the tank and clean it thoroughly. Allow all components to dry completely before storing or switching back to dry vacuuming.

3. Blow Function

• Disconnect the suction hose from the inlet port.
• Connect the suction hose to the exhaust port (usually located at the rear or side of the motor head).
• Turn the vacuum ON. The air will now blow out through the hose, useful for clearing leaves, inflating items, or drying surfaces.

Maintenance

1. Filter Cleaning (Push&Clean)

The Nilfisk Multi II 30T features a semi-automatic Push&Clean filter cleaning function:

1. With the vacuum running, block the hose inlet with your hand.
2. Press and hold the "Push&Clean" button (often marked with a filter icon) for a few seconds. This creates an airwave that cleans the filter from the inside out.
3. Release the button. Repeat if necessary until suction power is restored.
4. The filter clean indicator will alert you when the filter needs cleaning.

The filter is washable. For thorough cleaning, remove the filter and rinse it under running water. Allow it to dry completely before re-installing.

2. Emptying the Tank

• Dry Debris (with dust bag): Remove the motor head, then carefully lift out and dispose of the full dust bag. Replace with a new bag.
• Dry Debris (bagless): Remove the motor head and empty the tank into a waste receptacle.
• Liquids: Remove the motor head and carefully pour out the liquid from the tank.

After emptying, clean the tank with water and mild detergent if necessary. Ensure the tank is dry before reassembling, especially if switching from wet to dry vacuuming.

3. General Cleaning and Storage

• Wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents.
• Check the hose and nozzles for blockages regularly and clear them if found.
• Store the vacuum cleaner in a dry, protected area, away from extreme temperatures.
