hooks out

(fig. A).

Lift off motor

unit by the easy-

grip handle

(fig.B). Remove

tools from of the

tank.

Make sure that the motor-protection paper bag

(36) is fitted over the motor housing (36).Secure

the paper filter with the special elastic ring (40)

or an ordinary elastic band (fig. C). Position the

large dustbag (37) inside the tank by fitting the

cardboard collar onto the suction inlet port

(fig. D).

Attach motor unit to the tank, refastening the

two catches (fig. A). Connect the flexible hose to

the inlet port of your cleaner by rotating the hose

coupling (17)clockwise until securely attached

(fig. E).

Connect the

solution

dispenser by

pressing in until

it clicks into

place.

DRY VACUUM TOOLS AND

ACCESSORIES

Attach one end of the extension tubes (39) to

the handgrip (10) and the appropriate tool to the

other end.

Carpet/floor power brush (28)

Effectively picks up dust from hard floors and

carpets or rugs.

To vacuum hard floors, depress the beater

brush lever to show the bristles extended

symbol ( ).

To vacuum carpets or rugs, depress the beater

brush lever on the opposite side to show the

bristles withdrawn symbol ( ) (fig. F).

16/28 GB 3-01-2003 10:36 Pagina 19

Multi-purpose nozzle

(32)

For cleaning upholstery,

sofas, car interiors,

drapes, curtains, etc.

Round dusting brush

(33)

Suitable for dusting

upholstery, furniture,

books, drapes, frames,

and clothes.

Fit the required tool to the flexible hose, plug in

the power cord (the green light (18) comes on)

and switch your cleaner on by depressing the

ON/OFF suction button (19) (fig. G).

To stop vacuuming, press the button again.

The handgrip is

equipped with a slide

switch to let you adjust

suction power.

ELECTRONIC VERSION

Cleaners equipped with electronic suction

control have a selector (13) to adjust suction

power to the type of fabric to be cleaned or the

dirt to be removed (fig. H).

It is advisable to set the selector to minimum

power before switching on the appliance.

Maximum power: recommended for heavy dirt

(pebbles, soil, etc.) on hard flooring, matting and

deep-pile carpets, in corners, along edges, etc.

Medium power: saves energy and reduces the

noise of the appliance. It is more than enough to

remove dust from hard flooring and upholstery.

Minimum power: indispensable for vacuuming

over light, delicate objects such as light fabric

coverings, to avoid sucking up the fabric and

making cleaning difficult.

PAPER FILTER MAINTENANCE

When using your appliance as a dry vacuum

cleaner, replace paper filter (36) regularly.

When vacuuming up particularly fine dust, for

example cement, talcum powder, rubble dust,

etc., the paper or cloth filter may appear to be

clean, while actually being clogged, thus

reducing suction and lowering performance. In

such cases, it is preferable to replace the paper

filter.

16/28 GB 3-01-2003 10:36 Pagina 20

2. WET VACUUM

This function will help you to cope with those

little emergencies when you have to mop up

liquids and spillages from any surface quickly

and efficiently, like, for example, unclogging a

drain or dealing with minor floods (washing

machines, dishwashers, basement floors, etc.)

Do not immerse the appliance in liquids, only

the nozzle end.

Proceed to set up your PENTAVAP as

described in Sect. 1 (dry vacuum)

(fig. A and fig. B).

increase. At this point, switch off the motor,

disconnect the machine and empty the dirty-

water tank.

EMPTYING THE DIRTY WATER TANK

To empty the tank, disconnect in this order: the

water or water-shampoo solution injection

system (a), the solution dispenser (b), the

16/28 GB 3-01-2003 10:36 Pagina 22

3. EXTRACTION

CLEANING

With PENTAVAP you can use cold water to

gently clean floors and fabrics, hot water for

tough dirt, and a powerful steam jet to sanitize

all surfaces.

CAUTION: Make sure that all the fabrics and

surfaces to be cleaned are colour-fast and

sturdy enough for extraction cleaning. If in

doubt, spot-test in an inconspicuous area

and wait until completely dry before

checking the results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If the fabric has

previously been treated with a shampoo

different from the product supplied with this

appliance, excessive foam may form inside the

dirty-water tank. If the foam should begin to

overflow and leak out, switch off your cleaner

and empty the dirty-water tank. Always use the

original no-foam shampoo.

Proceed to set up your PENTAVAP as

described in Sect. 2 (wet vacuum).

GETTING THE EXTERNAL TANK READY

FOR EXTRACTION CLEANING

The external unit (6) has two tanks, one

containing the detergent solution (water and

shampoo) for cleaning with water, the other

filled with clean water for rinsing or steam

cleaning.

Disconnect the solution injection system (5) and

remove the solution tank lifting it out by its

handle (fig. A).

Fill the tank from the port marked with the tap

symbol with plain water until the Max level on

the water gauge is reached (fig. B).

Fill the tank with the tap + shampoo symbol on

the cover (approx. 3 litre capacity) with water

until the left-hand-side water level ball in the

water level

gauge reaches

notch no.9, then

add shampoo to

fill. The ball

should now

reach the MAX

notch.

NOTE: this proportion applies when using

the original shampoo. The manufacturer

disclaims any liability for damage to rugs,

carpets, chairs, upholstery, etc., resulting

from the use of detergents other than those

provided with the appliance.

Close the port

hatches,

reattach the

removable tank,

and connect the

solution

injection system

(5) by firmly

pressing in

place

(fig. C).

16/28 GB 3-01-2003 10:36 Pagina 23

EXTRACTION CLEANING TECHNIQUES

Extraction cleaning with cold or hot water, or

steam, is performed as follows:

- spray the detergent solution or the steam jet

onto the surface to be treated by pressing the

spray trigger (1) while simultaneously

vacuuming from front to back (fig. D).

go over the same area several times,

vacuuming only.The treated surface will then be

free of dirt and almost completely dry.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: set suction at

maximum power for the electronic version.

COLD-WATER CLEANING

(WITH SHAMPOO)

Cold-water cleaning is particularly

recommended for delicate unwaxed hard floors

like fired-clay tiles, parquet floors and all textile

flooring (rugs, carpeting).

Fit your PENTAVAP with the tool required for

the desired type of cleaning.

Rotate the selector of the PENTAVAP solution

injection system to the shampoo position to

obtain spray action for the water and shampoo

solution (fig. E).

Plug in your PENTAVAP (green light (18) on)

and depress the suction (19) and cold-water

cleaning (21) buttons on (red light (24) on)

(fig. F).

At this point your PENTAVAP is ready for

extraction cleaning.

To switch the machine off, depress the cleaning-

lock (20) and suction (19) buttons.

NOTICE: noise level. After setting up your

machine, you may notice an increase of the

noise level for a few seconds. This is not due to

a defect in the machine but to the water starting

to circulate for the first time. Should the noise

continue for more than 15 seconds, check that

the suction inlet tube is correctly connected to

the motor unit. When the water in the tank runs

out, the noise level will increase once again. At

this point, switch off the machine and proceed to

refill the tank as described in the instruction

booklet.

IMPORTANT: the pump noise level acts as an

acoustic warning that the water in the tank has

run out.

16/28 GB 3-01-2003 10:36 Pagina 24

HOT-WATER CLEANING

(WITH SHAMPOO)

Hot-water cleaning is recommended for heavily

soiled unwaxed hard floors like ceramic tiles,

linoleum or vinyl floors, and tiles in general.

Recommended also for mirrors and windows -

use with the special squeegee attachment.

CAUTION: never let the steam-generator on

when the tank has run out of water.

Fit your PENTAVAP with the attachment best

suited to the task required. Rotate selector to

the shampoo setting. Your cleaner is now ready

to deliver a powerful jet of hot water-and-

shampoo solution (fig.E).

Plug in your PENTAVAP (green light (18) on)

and depress the suction (19) and hot-water

cleaning (22) buttons on (red light on); the

machine will emit a particular intermittent sound.

This is perfectly normal and indicates that the

machine is working (fig. G). Wait a few seconds,

then proceed to clean. To switch the machine

off, depress the cleaning-lock (20) and suction

(19) buttons.

USEFUL TIPS: In case of particularly tough dirt,

proceed as follows:

- begin by dry-vacuuming in accordance with the

instructions contained in the “Dry vacuum”

section;

- set up the machine for extraction cleaning and

proceed to treat the dirty surface as follows;

- rotate selector (5) to the water + shampoo

position;

- depress hot-water button (22) and use the

spray trigger on the handgrip to spray cleaning

solution on the surface to be treated;

- wait one or two minutes for pre-treatment to

soak in;

- depress suction button (19) and go over the

pre-treated area using dry vacuum only (do not

use spray trigger);

- rinse carefully following the instructions in the

next section.

CAUTION: when resuming cleaning with hot

water after a few minutes’ pause, aim the nozzle

away for the surface you are cleaning as the

machine may release steam for a few seconds.

RINSING OPERATIONS

After cleaning with the detergent solution, you

may wish to proceed to rinse. Rinsing with water

only will ensure that all traces of detergent are

removed from the treated surface, and is

especially recommended for materials where

detergent residues are hard to get to, like, for

example, fabric and textiles in general.

For rinsing, use the same tools as for extraction

cleaning. Rotate selector (5) to the water-only

position. Plug in your PENTAVAP and depress

the suction (19) and cold-water (21) buttons.

Proceed to clean the surface using the same

technique as for hot- or cold-water cleaning

(fig. D).

When not using the appliance for a fairly long

time, it is advisable to flush out the system with

plain water, no detergent added, before storing

the machine, to avoid blockages due shampoo

residues in the pump. Fill the tank with water

only, and operate the pump depressing the

spray trigger for a few minutes.
