Setup

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport. Check for any visible damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact Kärcher customer support immediately.

2. Attaching the Castor Wheels

Insert the castor wheels into the designated slots on the base of the vacuum cleaner until they click into place. Ensure all wheels are securely fastened for stable movement.

3. Installing the Filter

The flat pleated filter is typically pre-installed. For wet vacuuming, ensure the filter is clean and properly seated. For dry vacuuming, it is recommended to use a fleece filter bag in addition to the flat pleated filter to collect fine dust and protect the main filter.

4. Assembling the Suction System

1. Connect the suction hose to the suction connection on the vacuum cleaner unit.
2. Assemble the suction tubes by pushing them together.
3. Attach the desired nozzle (floor nozzle, crevice tool, or brush) to the end of the suction tube.

Operating Instructions

1. Power Connection

Plug the power cable into a suitable electrical outlet. The integrated power outlet on the vacuum cleaner allows for direct connection of power tools, enabling synchronized operation and dust extraction.

2. Wet Vacuuming

For wet vacuuming, ensure the flat pleated filter is installed. Do not use a filter bag. The appliance is designed to pick up liquids. The float switch will automatically interrupt suction when the maximum liquid level is reached. Empty the container once this occurs.

3. Dry Vacuuming

For dry vacuuming, it is highly recommended to use a fleece filter bag in conjunction with the flat pleated filter. This helps to contain dust and prolong the life of the main filter. Select the appropriate nozzle for the surface being cleaned.

4. Blower Function

The vacuum cleaner features a practical blower function. To activate, detach the suction hose from the suction connection and connect it to the blower connection on the rear of the unit. This function is useful for removing leaves, light debris, or drying surfaces where vacuuming is not feasible.

5. Using the Integrated Power Socket

The integrated power socket allows you to connect power tools directly to the vacuum cleaner. When the power tool is switched on, the vacuum cleaner automatically starts, providing immediate dust extraction. When the power tool is switched off, the vacuum cleaner will continue to run for a short period to clear any remaining dust from the hose.

Maintenance

1. Emptying the Container

Regularly empty the 30-litre stainless steel container, especially after wet vacuuming or when the suction power decreases during dry vacuuming. To empty, unclip the head unit and lift it off. Dispose of collected debris or liquids responsibly.

2. Filter Cleaning and Replacement

The flat pleated filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain optimal suction performance. To clean, remove the filter cassette and tap out loose dirt. For stubborn dirt, the filter can be rinsed under running water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing. Replace the filter if it is damaged or if cleaning does not restore suction.

Fleece filter bags should be replaced when full. Do not attempt to reuse or clean them.

3. Cleaning Accessories

Clean the suction hose, tubes, and nozzles as needed. Rinse them with water to remove any blockages or accumulated dirt. Ensure they are dry before storage.

4. Storage

Store the vacuum cleaner and its accessories in a dry, frost-free location. The appliance features integrated storage for accessories and the suction hose, promoting space-saving organization.
