Operation

The appliance combines vacuuming and wiping in one work step. It is equipped with a 2-tank system with a separate fresh and dirty water tank.
By actuating the water lever, the fresh water is spread over the cleaning roller. This allows the amount of water to be set for every floor type. The rotating cleaning roller removes dust, dry and moist dirt as well as dried stains.
The vacuum function sucks on the cleaning roller and transports the dirt into the dirty water tank. This allows you to always wipe with a clean cleaning roller and fresh water.
