Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I wax the floors?

A: Before applying polish, ensure that the surface is clean. Remove any greasy stains using a damp cloth. To apply the polish, follow the instructions supplied with the polish. Use a good quality polish, spreading it evenly. After the polish has dried, polish the floor with the yellow hard texture brushes or the softer black brushes.

Q: How do I polish the floors?

A: For producing a high gloss, use the natural white pads for wooden floors or gray buffing pads for all other hard surfaces. To obtain better results, always move the polisher in straight lines rather than in circles. Buffing pads should only be used after the whole surface has first been polished with brushes.

Q: How do I empty the outer bag or paper dust bag?

• A: The suction polisher collects dust in the bag. To maintain the efficiency of your polisher, check the dust level and empty the cloth bag or replace the paper dust bag frequently.
  • Models equipped with paper dust bag: Fully open the zip fastener and remove the paper dust bag by pulling the cardboard collar from the air duct. Fit a new paper dust bag as described in the “Fitting the paper dust bag” section.
  • Models equipped with cloth bag (without paper dust bag): Remove the cloth bag from the upper plastic clip and disconnect the bottom plastic flange from the hood by pressing lightly on the indent on the flange. Turn the cloth bag upside down and shake gently. The cloth bag can be washed. We suggest hand washing it in warm water with a mild detergent.
