Effective cleaning is achieved if you follow just a few guidelines in combination with your own practical experience in special fields. Here are some basic tips. 5. 1. 1 Picking up dry substances CAUTION!There must always be a safety filter bag in the tank before dry substances with maximum room concentration values are picked up. See section"Accessories" for ordering number. To pick up harmless dust we resommend the use of a waste bag. See section "Accessories" for ordering number. Disposal of the picked up material is then simple and hygenic. After picking up liquidsm the filter element is wet. A damp filter element clogs more quickly when dry substances are picked up. For this reason the filter element should be washed and dried or replaced by a dry element before dry substances are picked up. 5. 1. 2 Picking up liquids CAUTION!Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag/disposal bag. The use of a seperate filter element or filter screen is recommended. If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the tank. To reduce the amount of foam, use foam killer Nilfisk-ALTO Foam Stop (see section "Accessories" for order number). 16 ATTIX 30/50 H/M 6 After finishing work english 6. 1 Switching the vacuum cleaner off and storage A B C E 1.
