Dry vacuum cleaning

For devices with a foam filter (WD 2), we always recommend additionally using a filter bag.

For devices with cartridge or flat pleated filters (WD 3 – WD 6), a filter bag should be used when vacuuming fine dust. For other applications, it's no problem to vacuum without a filter bag.

Wet vacuum cleaning

When vacuuming liquids and wet dirt, we recommend vacuuming without a filter bag. Foam filters, cartridge filters and flat pleated filters are not damaged by wet vacuum cleaning.

If necessary, clean the foam filter and cartridge filter under running water. Do not rub or brush it. Allow the filter media to dry fully before using them again.

The Kärcher wet and dry vacuum cleaners are not suitable for vacuuming ashes. Cold ashes can be vacuumed using an ash pre-separator, or you can use a Kärcher ash vacuum cleaner.

The different Kärcher models have different filling capacities, so the maximum filling capacity depends on the device model. If the maximum filling volume has been reached, a float closes the vacuum opening, which stops vacuuming. The device does not switch off automatically, but runs at an increased speed. Switch off the device immediately and empty the container.

Details of the minimum and maximum wattage of the power outlet can be found on the device power outlet.
