Auto-suction stop during wet
suction operation
Only for the cloth filter model
WARNING:
Do not use for a long time while
the float is at work. Using the cleaner with its float at
work for a long time can cause overheat, resulting in
the cleaner deformation.
WARNING:
Do not pick up foam or soapy
liquid. Picking up foam or soapy liquid can cause
foam to come out of air exit before the float works.
Continuing to using in this condition may cause an
electric shock and breakage of the cleaner.
Auto-suction stop works only when using with the float
and float cage.
The cleaner has a float mechanism that prevents water
from immersing into the motor when picking up more
than a certain amount of water. When the tank is full
and the cleaner no longer picks up water, switch off the
cleaner and empty the tank.
