Note:

• Among the 5 brushes, ensure to mount the short one onto the centre shaft.
• During operation, hot air will come out from the air pipe slot to keep brushes dry so as to maintain a good polishing effect. It is essential to always keep the brushes dry; wet brushes do not dry or polish the glass. During intensive use, if the brushes become damp, run the appliance without glass for 20 minutes to allow the hot air to dry the brushes.
