The appliance is equipped with a float switch
that will stop the vacuuming when the tank is full. You will notice that suction has stopped by the motor now running faster. In this event, switch the appliance off and unplug it.
Be aware that the full tank can be very heavy. In
this event, place the appliance over a drain and carefully open the outlet screw. (Fig. 20) The contents of the tank can now drain out to a great extent.
