Using the appliance

Usage Restrictions

Only use the water tank on hard floors with a water-resistant top coat (such as linoleum, enameled tiles and varnished parquet) and stone floors (such as marble). If your floor has not been treated to make it water-resistant, check with the manufacturer if you can use water to clean it. Do not use the water tank on hard floors of which the water-resistant top coat is damaged.
Only use the water tank on linoleum floors that are properly affixed to prevent linoleum from being drawn into the mopping nozzle.
Do not use the water tank to clean carpets.
Do not move the appliance with water tank assembled sideways, as this leaves water traces. Only move forwards and backward.

Note: The operating time depends on the power level used during cleaning.

Mopping pad and wetting strip
The appliance comes with one wetting strip and two identical microfiber mopping pads. With the water tank, wetting strip and microfiber mopping pad attached to the standard floor nozzle, you can clean hard floors.

Using liquid floor cleaner in the water tank

If you want to add a liquid floor cleaner to the water in the water tank, make sure that you use a low foaming or non-foaming liquid floor cleaner that can be diluted in water. As the water tank has a capacity of 380ml, you only have to add a few drops of liquid floor cleaner to the water.

Cleaning the water tank

To clean the water tank, mix one part vinegar with three parts water. Pour this mixture into the water tank and close the cap. Shake the water tank and put the water tank on a water-resistant surface. Leave the water-vinegar mixture in the water tank overnight. Then empty the water tank, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water, and use it normally again. Caution: Water will leak from the water tank during cleaning, with and without the wetting strip attached to the nozzle. To empty the water tank, hold the water tank over a sink, remove the cap and tilt the water tank to the side of the filling hole. Then turn the water tank over to let the water flow into the sink. To remove the remaining water from the water tank, turn the water tank on its long side with the filling hole pointing towards the sink. Then tilt the water tank forwards to let the remaining water flow out of the water tank
