4.1 Information and precautionary measures for use
¼ Do not use the TWIN AQUATHERM for dry vacuuming
if the AQUAFILTER system has not been fitted in
accordance with the instructions booklet. Otherwise
the appliance may get damaged.
¼ Do not vacuum liquids in dry vacuum mode. Read
section 5.3 “Wet vacuuming operation”.
¼ Read the “Points of safety” under section 1 .2.
¼ Do not vacuum great quantities of fine dust, e.g.
flour, cocoa powder, cement.
4.2 Dry vacuuming operation
If the appliance has been used before for wet/wash vacu-
uming, all the instructions in this section must be follo-
wed.
Your TWIN AQUATHERM is set up ex works for dry vacuuming – in this case
read from point
k
D onwards.
H Open the casing cover (1) by lifting the cover release (4).
J Remove the dirty-water container assy. (24) by its carrying strap
and, if necessary, extract the inserted anti-slosh insert (22).
I Insert the HEPA filter (20) into the appliance.
D Insert the AQUA filter assy. (42) behind both guide ledges of
the dirty-water container (24) until it stops. Ensure that the seal
around the AQUA filter (42) is on the inside of the dirty-water
container (24) and that the wet filter (23) has been fitted.
Fill the dirty-water tank (24) with 1 litre of clear water.
Insert the filled dirty-water container (24) into the appliance and
fold the carrying strap to the side.
Ensure that the carrying strap is not covering the casing seal.
Slowly close the casing cover (1) so that the seals and the
connectors on the AQUA filter (42) are not damaged.
C Attach accessories as required to the suction pipe (34) or directly
to the handle (29).
K Connect the mains plug (63).
B Switch on the appliance using the appliance on/off switch (14).
C The suction power can be reduced using the suction power
regulator (supplementary air slide) (29).
Suppl. air slide closed = full suction power,
suppl. air slide open = reduced suction power.
On carpet floors, a half-open supplementary air slide will achieve
the best water filter action and prevent the nozzle from becoming
blocked.
To achieve optimum filter action, we recommend that you rinse the
AQUA filter with clear water and change the water in the dirty-
water container every 40-60 minutes of continuous operation or
whenever you see a large pool of water on the underside of the
cover.
After dry vacuuming
For reasons of hygiene, empty and clean the AQUAFILTER
system after each use. Dirty water and moisture on
the appliance parts encourage bacteria and fungi to
multiply.
Switch off the appliance using the main switch (14) and pull out the mains
plug.
H Open the casing cover (1) by lifting the cover release (4).
D Remove the dirty-water container (24) from the appliance by its
carrying strap.
Remove the AQUA filter (42) from the dirty-water container
(24) by its handle and pour away the dirty water (e.g. down the
toilet).
E Remove the foam filter (43). To do this, gently pull the frame (48)
on the AQUA filter (42) upwards and fold it away to the side.
D Clean the wet filter (23) if it is dirty.
Thoroughly wash the AQUA filter (42), the foam filter (43),
the wet filter (23) and the dirty-water container (24) with
clear water, without any cleaning agent.
Ensure that the parts are completely dry before replacing
them in the appliance.
If impurities and fluff have clogged the suction filter (44, illus. E),
this can also be removed for gentle cleaning; afterwards replace
the suction filter in the appliance.
Remove impurities and fluff from the AQUA injection nozzle
(10, illus. H).
Cleaning the HEPA filter
Your TWIN AQUATHERM has a high-quality HEPA filter, which
can be cleaned frequently as required and according to the type
of household dirt. This will ensure that the appliance regains full
suction power.
Cleaning should be carried out depending on the level of usage and the
reduction in suction power (at least every 6 months).
I Remove the HEPA filter (20) from the appliance and knock it on a
firm surface.
If the dirt cannot be removed in this way, the filter can also be
washed with clear water, without any cleaning agent, and then
knocked on a firm surface.
Never use a brush for cleaning. Ensure that the
filter is completely dry before replacing it in the
appliance.
When cleaning the HEPA filter (20), do not damage the
filter wires.
If the suction power of the appliance is not considerably increased by cleaning
the HEPA filter, the filter should be replaced with a new one.
4.0 Dust vacuuming (dry vacuuming)
5.0 Spray extraction (wash-vacuuming)/wet vacuuming of hard surfaces, tiles, carpets and upholstery
5.1 Information and safety instructions for use
ț Make sure that all items to which you are going to
apply a hot or cold detergent solution are suitable
for this method of cleaning.
ț Do not use the cleaner on parquet floors. Moisture could penetrate
the wood and damage the floor.
ț Caution! Petrol, thinner, fuel oil etc. may form explosive fumes
or mixtures, if allowed to mix with the suction air flow.
ț Acetones, acids and solvents may attack the materials employed
on your appliance. It is quite safe to vacuum water which contains
ordinary household cleaning agents.
ț After wet vacuuming or spray extraction operations, clean the
soiled-water tank and all employed accessories and allow to dry.
