4.2 Filter Installation
The type of filter to install depends on whether you are performing wet or dry vacuuming.
- For Dry Vacuuming: Install the cartridge filter and, if desired, a paper dust bag inside the tank. The cartridge filter is essential for capturing fine dust.
- For Wet Vacuuming: Remove the cartridge filter and install the foam filter over the motor housing. Do NOT use the paper dust bag for wet vacuuming.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Use the power switch located on the top of the unit to turn the vacuum cleaner ON or OFF.
5.2 Dry Vacuuming
Ensure the cartridge filter and a dust bag are correctly installed. Use appropriate nozzles for the surface you are cleaning. The vacuum is suitable for various dry debris, including household dust, plaster, soil, lime, and sand, adhering to Dust Class L standards for 99% harmful dust particle filtration.

The text, primarily in German, translates to "High filter performance for clean exhaust air" and "DUST CLASS L: Filtering of 99% harmful dust particles." It also lists examples of suitable materials for vacuuming, such as household dust, plaster, soil, lime, and sand. A red and white 'L' dust class certification logo is visible in the bottom right corner.

The room is prepared with plastic sheeting to contain dust, emphasizing the vacuum's role in maintaining a cleaner workspace.
5.3 Wet Vacuuming
Remove the cartridge filter and dust bag, and install the foam filter. The vacuum cleaner can pick up liquids. Do not overfill the tank; the float switch will automatically shut off suction when the maximum liquid level is reached. Empty the tank regularly.
5.4 Blower Function
To use the blower function, connect the suction hose to the exhaust port located on the top of the motor head. This allows the vacuum to blow air, useful for clearing debris from hard-to-reach areas or drying surfaces.

5.5 Suction Control
The vacuum cleaner features a suction control knob on the motor head, allowing you to adjust the suction power from minimum to maximum depending on the task and surface.

5.6 Integrated Power Outlet
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with an integrated power outlet (IP44 rated) on the motor head. This allows you to connect power tools directly to the vacuum cleaner. When a tool is connected and switched on, the vacuum cleaner will automatically start, providing synchronized dust extraction. When the tool is switched off, the vacuum cleaner will continue to run for a short period to clear any remaining dust from the hose.

The black, covered outlet is clearly marked with "IP44", indicating its protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. This outlet allows for synchronized operation with power tools.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your vacuum cleaner.
6.1 Emptying the Tank
For dry debris, empty the dust bag when full. For liquids, remove the motor head and carefully pour out the liquid. The tank also has a drain plug at the bottom for convenient emptying of liquids.

6.2 Filter Cleaning and Replacement
The TE-VC 2025 SACL features a filter cleaning system. To clean the filter, press the designated button on the motor head multiple times (e.g., 6 times) while the vacuum is running. This mechanism shakes off accumulated dust from the cartridge filter, restoring suction power.
Image: A diagram illustrating the filter cleaning system of the Einhell wet/dry vacuum cleaner. It shows the internal mechanism where pressing a button (labeled '1 PUSH 6x') causes air to flow in reverse through the filter, dislodging dust particles. The diagram indicates that after this process, the filter is 'CLEANED' (labeled '2 FILTER CLEANED'), with arrows showing the cleaned air path.
Regularly inspect both the cartridge filter and foam filter for damage or excessive wear. Replace them as needed to maintain optimal filtration and suction performance.
6.3 General Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Clean the hose and nozzles as needed to prevent blockages.
