4. Operating Instructions

Your Cecotec Conga Rockstar Wet & Dry Steel Pro offers versatile cleaning modes.

4.1. Dry Vacuuming

For dry vacuuming, ensure the HEPA filter is correctly installed. Connect the appropriate dry cleaning accessory (e.g., floor brush for large areas, crevice tool for tight spaces).

1. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the vacuum cleaner using the power switch.
3. Move the nozzle over the area to be cleaned.
4. When finished, turn off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it.

4.2. Wet Vacuuming

For wet vacuuming, remove the HEPA filter and ensure the foam filter (if applicable) is in place. Use the wet cleaning accessory (often the same floor brush with a squeegee function, or a dedicated wet nozzle).

1. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the vacuum cleaner.
3. Move the nozzle slowly over the liquid spill. The vacuum will collect the liquid into the tank.
4. Do not overfill the tank. The vacuum has a float mechanism that will stop suction when the tank is full.
5. When finished, turn off the vacuum cleaner, unplug it, and empty the tank immediately.

3. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

The 30-liter tank should be emptied regularly, especially after wet vacuuming.

4. Foam Filter (for wet use): Rinse the foam filter under running water. Squeeze out excess water and allow it to air dry completely before storage or reinstallation.
5. Reinstall the appropriate filter securely before using the vacuum cleaner.
