WET & DRY VACUUM
CLEANER

Dear customer,
Congratulations and thank you for choosing our
company.
Class A introduces a new-generation, High Efficiency
motor, guaranteeing exceptional performance: maxi­mum power and maximum suction with minimum con­sumption, reducing the time required for cleaning.

Important information

• Read the instruction booklet carefully

• Before using, check that the mains voltage corresponds to the
voltage indicated on the specifications label under the handle.

• Connect your cleaner only to power outlets with a minimum
of 10 amps and make sure the outlet is earthed. For
machines with double insulation (see the symbol on the
specifications label), earthing is not necessary.

• Always disconnect the appliance from mains outlet
when not in use or before any maintenance or care
operation.

• Do not clean the appliance with benzine or other solvents.
Use soapy water only.

• Do not tug on the power cord, or the machine itself, to
disconnect the appliance from mains outlet.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is running.
Keep it away from the reach of children and persons unfit to
use it.

• Do not run the appliance over the power cord as this may
damage the insulating sheath.

• Do not use to pick up flammable or corrosive liquids and
liquids in general.

• Do not use to pick up matches, hot ash, or burning cigarette
ends.

• Do not attempt to use the appliance if it appears to be faulty.

• To repair or if the power cable is damaged and requires
replacement, contact the dealer or authorised service centre
in order to avoid compromising the efficiency of your
appliance and guarantee the validity of the guarantee. For
the same reasons, you are always recommended to use
original spare parts.

• During operation a significant quantity of air is blown out
from the air exhaust grill, which may be an annoyance if
directed towards the person, especially the face

liquids, defrosting refrigerators and freezers,
etc.
Make sure that the polyurethane foam filter is
fitted on the motor housing fig.4.
Fit the cleaning attachment most suited to the
type of operation to be performed onto either
the extension tube or directly onto the handgrip.

(13) or cloth bag (where provided) is fitted over
the motor housing. Secure the filter with the
special elastic ring (where provided) or an
ordinary elastic band (fig.6).
