microfibres. It also preserves the high performance lev-
els of the cleaning rollers.
The cleaning rollers are not suitable for the tumble dry-
er.
 Wash dirty cleaning rollers in the washing machine
at 60 °C.
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.
