Option depending on model
Appliance socket
Use the socket on the vacuum 
cleaner for the purpose defi ned 
in the operating instructions 
only.
Before plugging an appliance 
into the appliance socket:
1.  Switch off the vacuum clea-
ner
2.  Switch off the appliance to 
be connected.
CAUTION!
Follow the operating instruc-
tions and safety instructions for 
appliances connected to the 
appliance socket.
Transport
After sucking up water, do not 
tilt the cleaner or transport it in 
a horizontal position.
Before starting the vacuum 
cleaner
Before starting the vacuum 
cleaner, check that it is in 
proper condition. Plugs and 
couplings in power cords must 
at least have splash protection.
Regularly check whether the 
power cord is damaged or 
shows signs of aging. 
Before using the cleaner, ensu-
re that the cover and power 
cord are intact. (There is risk of 
electrocution if they are dama-
ged.)
Never use the vacuum cleaner 
if the fi lter element is damaged.
During use
Do not damage the power cord 
(e.g. by moving over it or pulling 
or squeezing it).
Disconnect the power cord by 
pulling the plug only (do not pull 
or tug the power cord).
CAUTION!
Before sucking in liquids, remo-
ve the fi lter bag and check the 
performance of the fl oater (see 
section 7.2.3). 
 
If foam appears, stop 
work immediately and empty 
the tank.
Maintenance and repair
CAUTION!
Always pull out the mains 
plug before cleaning and ser-
vicing the vacuum clea -ner.
Only carry out maintenance 
work described in the operating 
instructions.
CAUTION!
Use original Alto accessories 
and parts only. The use of 
other parts can adversely affect 
safety.
CAUTION!
Do not make technical modi-
fi cations to the vacuum cleaner.
They could endanger your 
safety.
For further maintenance or re-
pair work and the replacement 
of a faulty power cord please 
contact the Alto service de-
partment or an authorized Alto 
workshop.
Electrical connections
Check the rated voltage of the 
vacuum cleaner before con-
necting it to the mains supply 
system. Ensure that the voltage 
shown on the rating plate cor-
responds to the voltage of the 
local mains power supply.
If you are using an extension 
cord, use only those specifi ed 
by the manufacturer or higher 
quality ones (see section 9.4 
"Technical data").
It is recommended that the 
vacuum cleaner is connected 
via a residual current circuit 
breaker. This device stops the 
supply of electricity if the leaka-
ge current to earth exceeds 30 
mA for 30 ms or it has an earth 
tester circuit.
When using an extension cord, 
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length   Cross section
m mm
2
up to 20 
1.5
20 to 50 
2.5
Arrange the electrical parts 
(sockets, plugs and couplings) 
and lay down the extension 
cord so that protection class is 
maintained.
CAUTION!
Never spray water on to the 
upper section of the vacuum 
cleaner: danger for persons, 
risk of short-circuiting.
Observe the latest edition of the 
IEC regulations.
