Your Daewoo vacuum cleaner is designed for both dry and wet cleaning tasks.
5.1 Dry Vacuuming
- Ensure the cloth filter is correctly installed.
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (110V).

- When the tank is full or suction power decreases, turn off and unplug the unit, then empty the tank.
5.2 Wet Vacuuming
- Important: Remove the cloth filter and install the foam filter for wet vacuuming. Failure to do so can damage the motor.
