Operation

General information on the operationK-RCHER-EWM-2-Electric-Mop-FC3
-Wireless-fig28

ATTENTION
Illustration A
The device can only vacuum dried dirt and liquids (max. 140 ml).
Illustration B
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 surfaces, e.g. wood or fine stone.

  • Don’t stay in one place, keep moving.

  • Follow the instructions of the floor covering manufacturer. Illustration C
    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 functionality, they can be used for different areas of application (colour distinction, e.g. for kitchen and bath-room).

Start working

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 11K-RCHER-EWM-2-Electric-Mop-FC3
-Wireless-fig11

  • To switch on the appliance press the on/off switch.

DANGER
Illustration 25K-RCHER-EWM-2-Electric-Mop-FC3-Wireless-
fig25 The device contains electrical components and must therefore never be held under running water or im-mersed in a container containing water – even for clean-ing the device.

ATTENTION
Illustration 26 To clean the device, remove the individual components (floor head cover, fresh water tank, waste water tank and rollers) and clean them separately. Wipe down the rest of the device with a moist cloth.

Clean the waste water tank

ATTENTION
The waste water tank must be cleaned regularly to en-sure that dirt does not accumulate in the tank.
ATTENTION
Do not clean the floor head cover in a dishwasher: The basic function of the device can be impaired if the floor head cover is distorted by the dishwasher and the wiper edge no longer presses correctly onto the rollers. This will produce a worse cleaning result.

  • Also clean the rollers if the device is not going to be used further.
    See chapter “Cleaning the rollers”.
    Figure 21 to 22K-RCHER-EWM-2-Electric-Mop-FC3-Wireless-
fig22

  • After cleaning, fit the waste water tank with flaps and floor head cover back into the device.

Cleaning the floor head

ATTENTION
Clean the floor head if dirty.

ATTENTION
Do not clean the floor head cover in a dishwasher: The basic function of the device can be impaired if the floor head cover is distorted by the dishwasher and the wiper edge no longer presses correctly onto the rollers. This will produce a worse cleaning result.

Cleaning the rollers

ATTENTION
The rollers should be washed under a tap or cleaned in a washing machine after each use to prevent accumu-lation of detergent residues in the rollers that can lead to the formation of foam over time.
The fresh water tank and waste water tank must be emptied if the device is laid on the floor in order to re-move the rollers. This prevents liquids from escaping from the tanks while the device is lying on the floor. Illustration 11K-RCHER-EWM-2-Electric-Mop-FC3-Wireless-fig11

  • Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so . Illustration 2K-RCHER-EWM-2-Electric-Mop-FC3-Wireless-fig2

  • Twist out the cleaning rollers from the recessed grip. Illustration 20
  • Clean the cleaning rollers under running water. or
  • Wash the cleaning rollers in the washing machine up to 60°C.

ATTENTION
Do not use any soft detergents when cleaning in the washing machine. This avoids causing damage to the microfibres. It also preserves the high performance levels of the cleaning rollers.
The cleaning rollers are not suitable for the tumble dryer. ATTENTION
To avoid damaging the washing machine, we recommend placing the rollers in a laundry net and loading the washing machine with additional laundry.
Figure 23 to 24K-RCHER-EWM-2-Electric-Mop-FC3-Wireless-

fig24

  • Once cleaned, place the rollers on the cleaning sta-tion storage and leave them to air dry.
  • Drying time can be minimized by wringing out the rollers beforehand.
  • Also clean the floor head cover and waste water tank if the device is not going to be used further.
  • Clean the roller drive with a moist cloth.

Detergents and care products

ATTENTION
The use of unsuitable cleaning and disinfecting agents can damage the appliance and will void the warranty.
Note
Add cleaning or disinfecting agent as required.

  • When dosing the detergent and care product, fol-low the manufacturer’s dosage instructions.
  • To prevent foaming, first fill the fresh water tank with water then cleaning or disinfecting agent.
  • To avoid exceeding the “MAX” fill level on the fresh water tank, leave room for the cleaning or disinfect-ing agent when filling with water.

The three LEDs light up sequentially in a 1-second cycle.

  • Device too hot during use (e.g. when operating in high ambient temperatures).
  • Take a break and let the device cool down.
  • If the device also switches off:
  • Take a break and let the device cool down.
  • The device can only be switched on again once it has cooled down enough.

Rollers are too dry

Rollers are not being sufficiently moistened.

  • Moisten the rollers by moving back and forth over the same position.
    The filter under the fresh water tank is incorrectly fitted or not fitted at all.

  • Ensure that the filter under the fresh water tank is correctly fitted in the device. The foam with the yel-low pin in the middle must point upwards.

Note
If the filter is not present, it can be ordered as a spare part. For information about accessories and spare parts, please visit www.kaercher.com.
