Illustration
The device can only vacuum dried dirt and liquids (max.
140 ml).
Illustration
Brush or vacuum the floor before starting work. This re-
moves dirt and loose particles from the floor before the
wet cleaning commences.
Before use, check the floor for water consistency at sus-
pect areas. Do not clean water-sensitive coatings, such
as untreated cork floors (moisture ingress is possible
which may damage the floor).
Notes
 To avoid striped patterns, test the device on an in-
conspicuous area before using on sensitive surfac-
es, e.g. wood or fine stone.
 Don't stay in one place, keep moving.
 Follow the instructions of the floor covering manu-
facturer.
Illustration
To avoid fresh footprints on the freshly-wiped floor, work
backwards towards the door.
 Clean the floor by moving the appliance back and
forth at a similar speed as if you were vacuum
cleaning.
 If the floor is especially dirty, let the appliance glide
slowly across the floor.
Pressure does not need to be exerted on the de-
vice.
 For scope of delivery of the roller pads in grey and
yellow: Both roller pads have the same functionali-
ty, they can be used for different areas of applica-
tion (colour distinction, e.g. for kitchen and bath-
room).
ATTENTION
After switching on the appliance, the cleaning rollers will
begin to rotate. Hold the handle tight to prevent the ap-
pliance from moving forwards by itself.
Make sure the fresh water tank is filled with water and
the waste water tank is fitted in the appliance.
Illustration
 To switch on the appliance press the on/off switch.
 Move the unit back and forth several times until the
rollers are sufficiently moistened.
