Operation

General information on the operation

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 removes dirt and loose particles from the floor before the wet cleaning commences.
Before use, check the floor for water consistency in suspect areas. Do not clean water-sensitive coatings, such as untreated cork floors (moisture ingress is possible which may damage the floor).

Illustration C

To avoid fresh footprints on the freshly-wiped floor, work backward 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 device.

• 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 (color distinction, e.g. for kitchen and bathroom).

Start working
ATTENTION
After switching on the appliance, the cleaning rollers will begin to rotate. Hold the handle tight to prevent the appliance from moving forwards by itself.
Make sure the fresh water tank is filled with water and the waste water tank is fitted to the appliance.

Illustration 11

• To switch on the appliance press the on/off switch.
• Move the unit back and forth several times until the rollers are sufficiently moistened.

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 ensure 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.

Illustration 11

• Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so.

Illustration 2

•  Place the device in the parking station.

Cleaning the rollers

ATTENTION
The rollers should be washed under a tap or cleaned in a washing machine after each use to prevent the accumulation of detergent residues in the rollers that can lead to the formation of foam over time.
The freshwater tank and waste water tank must be emptied if the device is laid on the floor in order to remove the rollers. This prevents liquids from escaping from the tanks while the device is lying on the floor.

ATTENTION
Do not use any soft detergents when cleaning 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.

Figures 23 to 24

• Once cleaned, place the rollers on the cleaning station 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, follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions.
• To prevent foaming, first, fill the fresh water tank with water then clean or disinfect the agent.
• To avoid exceeding the “MAX” fill level on the fresh water tank, leave room for the cleaning or disinfecting agent when filling with water.
