Some useful tips to get the most from your scrubber dryer
In cases where oors are soiled with particularly stubborn dirt, scrubbing and drying operations can be performed
in two separate stages.
Prewashing with brushes or pads
► press the main switch (g. C, ref. 3) (LED on);
► set the percentage of detergent to be released by the Chem Dose (OPTIONAL) (g. P, ref. 2).
► press the brush button (g. C, ref. 4) (LED on),
► press the suction button (g. C, ref. 5) (LED o󰀨) to turn suction o󰀨;
► operate the brush lever (g. D, ref. 1) to enable brush rotation;
► make sure the suction motor is o󰀨 and the squeegee is raised;
► begin washing.
► during cleaning operations, check the quality of the wash: if necessary, adjust the ow of detergent to
the brush using the detergent solution tap (g. F, ref. 2) and adjust the percentage of detergent released
from Chem Dose (OPTIONAL) by turning the knob (g. P, ref. 2).
► Persist when washing particularly dirty points to give the detergent time to perform its chemical action
detaching and suspending the dirt and the brushes time to exert an e󰀨ective mechanical action.
Drying
Lower the squeegee and with the suction motor on, pass over the same area washed previously.

DANGER
Use suitable personal protection devices.
Drain the water with the machine disconnected from the power supply
(cable model).
The dirty water tank drain hose is at the back of the machine on the right.
To empty the tank:
► position the machine near a drain;
► detach the drain hose (g. A, ref. 7) from its seat by holding it near the xing spring and pulling horizon-
tally;
► keeping the end of the hose as high as possible, remove the cap;
► lower the end of the hose gradually, controlling the intensity of the ow of water by adjusting the height
from the ground;
► check the amount of dirt left in the dirty water tank and if necessary wash it out;
► close the drain hose with the cap. Check that it is tightly closed and replace the hose in its housing.
► You are then ready to wash and dry again.
