GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT: Your dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When the dirty water tank is full, or the 
floorhead is not in contact with the floor, the float will shut off the suction on the machine. You will 
be able to hear if this has happened as the motor noise on the machine will increase. Once the float 
is activated, check if the dirty water tank is full and empty if necessary. If the dirty water tank is not 
full, continue to check for blockages.
OPERATION
Place your foot on the base and pull the 
handle backwards to recline.
Press the on/off button to switch the 
machine on. The machine will always 
start in High Mode.
For an improved runtime, press the 
mode selector button to switch to 
Eco Mode. 
For a more intense clean, press the 
mode selector button to switch to 
High Mode.
Press the trigger on the handle to 
release water and solution. Release the 
trigger to recover the water and solution.
For best results apply water/solution 
on the forward stroke and release the 
trigger on the backward stroke to pick up 
water/solution. For a dryer finish, follow 
with an additional dry stoke without the 
trigger pressed.
During use, regularly empty the dirty 
water tank ensuring the water does not 
exceed the max fill line marked on the 
side of the tank.
