The 2nd pressing the button (hand/foot) – additional spraying off (pilot lamp L13 will light off)

Notes

Switch off additional water spraying 1 minute before the end of cleaning at the latest and only remove the moisture remaining on the floor using vacuum cleaning function to avoid water dripping from the device during carrying the device.
If there are any larger impurities on the floor (bits of soil, rocks etc.), remove them first. Then, you can start using the appliance.
The mopping adapter is intended for cleaning the dirt on the floor using water, hence, switch on additional water spraying immediately after switching on the device.
As soon as the maximum capacity of the dirt container L5 is exhausted, the safety mechanism will be activated. Additional spraying function and L18 brush drive will be switched off (electromotor of the vacuum cleaner continues running). Red signal light A4 on the device starts flashing. The device must be switched off and the dirt container must be emptied, then you can continue cleaning operation.
If the mop adapter will be inclined towards the floor level too much (approx. 30°) during the cleaning operation, the safety function will be activated, i.e. additional spraying function and L18 brush drive will be switched off. After returning to correct working position, pre-set mop adapter function will be restored.
As soon as the water in container L2 is used up, empty dust container L5.
When using the mop adapter, DO NOT APPLY maximum suction power (risk of water penetration into the motor).
Prior to placing the mopping adapter on the drip tray K19, ALWAYS disconnect the vacuum cleaner and store the mopping adapter separately to avoid overturning/fall of the device.

Instruction for use:

Open the tank lid L4 and pour clean water (warm or cold) into the water tank L2.
Then connect the vacuum cleaner A to the mopping adapter L (Fig. 1b).
Press the button A1 to switch on the vacuum cleaner. Press the button L12 to switch on additional water spraying function.
Clean the floor using slow forward and backward movements.
Stop the device if water level in the dirt container L5 has reached the mark MAX. Empty the dirt container and install it on the device again. Continue cleaning.
After cleaning, switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect it from the mopping adapter. Then place the mopping adapter on the drip tray L19.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Notes

For hygienic purposes we recommend that you empty the container and clean the filters after each use.
Maximum suction power can be achieved when the filters are clean and the dust bag is empty.
Every time you empty the dust container, we recommend that you also clean the filters.
When you are vacuuming very fine dust, the filter pores might get clogged. This reduces the air flow and reduces the suction power. In such a case, the filters need to be cleaned even though the container is not full yet.

Clean the surface of the vacuum cleaner and adaptor with a soft wet cloth. Do not use any rough and aggressive detergents!

Accessories
After any vacuuming it is recommended to check visually the brushes or collectors for possible impurities. If there are some impurities, remove them.

Floor nozzle with rotary brush
Remove any dirt (especially hair, animal hairs, etc.) stuck to the brush. To make cleaning easier, the brush can be removed (Fig. 4).

Small turbo brush
Remove any dirt (especially hair, animal hairs, etc.) stuck to the brush.

Dust container
Clean the surface and the inside of the container B with a soft wet cloth. Rinse the separator B4 under running water. Allow all the parts to dry out properly before their re-use.

Caution
Never rinse the container B under running water and never immerse it in water.
It houses electrical components which drive the brush in the floor nozzle Ea/Eb and they might get damaged.

HEPA filter
Shake out the input HEPA filter A7 gently, or blow it out. If the HEPA filter is very dirty, you can rinse it under running lukewarm water. Allow it to dry out properly.

Caution

Do not clean the filters with any aggressive washing or cleaning detergents or hot water.
If you clean the HEPA filter with water, its filtration properties will deteriorate. The filter cannot be washed more than three times. After that, a new filter needs to be purchased.
We recommend that you replace the HEPA filter twice a year.
The filters are not dish-washer safe.
Failure to clean or replace the filters as required may cause a defect of the vacuum cleaner!

Mopping adapter
Use fine and damp cloth for cleaning the surface of the mopping adapter. For a thorough maintenance, the adapter can be disassembled (Fig. 1b). Rinse the tank L2 and the container L5 with water. Rinse plastic parts L7, L9, L17 and the brush L18 in flowing water. Thoroughly remove the dirt assembled under the swing-out cover L16. Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before re-assembling.

L18 brush cleaning function:

Empty dirt container L5.
Fill L2 tank with clean water.
Place mop adapter L with the vacuum cleaner connected to drip tray L19. Switch on the vacuum cleaner and the additional spraying function.
Allow the water in tank L2 to drain. In case of heavy dirt, this process can be repeated.
Clean the other parts of the mop adapter in a standard way.

CAUTION
During the entire time of cleaning the brush, the mop adapter with attached vacuum
cleaner must be held in the drip tray L19 to avoid the fall!
