Use and Care Manual

of the appliance. 󳆫
● Your CTX is provided with a safety interlock switch to prevent operating the appliance
without attaching the water container. Because the turbine operates at high speed, this is
to protect you from coming into contact with the moving Hydro Turbine. 󳆫
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
● DO NOT plug the CTX into the receptacle of an incandescent light bulb, or use
extensions cords with less electrical capacity than needed.
● The CTX must not be used to clear sewers. An explosion may occur if the machine
suctions sewer gases.
● You must NEVER touch a metallic kitchen sink or washbasin or water pipelines with one
hand while holding the machine with the other hand. The danger is greater if the person’s
skin is wet.
● Take special care when cleaning stairs.
● ATTENTION: It is not recommended to use the CTX for cleaning chimneys or open
stoves, or other devices that have oil or grease, for example, soot or ashes, clay dust,
plaster or other similar materials that are resistant to water action. It must also not be used
for vacuuming toxic or volatile substances or near any of these.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN VACUUMING LIQUIDS
Always consider the following precautions:
● DO NOT operate the machine with wet hands or feet or barefoot. 󳆫
● NEVER use to clean up liquids outdoors, or on dirt. 󳆫
● NEVER vacuum liquids when you are stepping on water or a wet floor. If it should be
necessary to step on a wet or damp floor to pick up water, do not touch the metallic parts
of ANY electric device, lamp or switch while performing this operation. 󳆫
● DO NOT carry the machine with your hand while using the machine for cleaning
operations. 󳆫
● The water container must be empty BEFORE you begin picking up liquids.
● DO NOT vacuum more than 2.8 liters (3 quarts); the water level must NEVER be above
the center post inside the bowl. Excess water in the bowl will cause shaking and vibration
and will also cause the vacuum to suck the water up into the motor. If this occurs, the
vibrations are your warning the water container is overfilled and to shut the motor off
immediately.󳆫
