ATTENTION
Material damage
Damage to the device from pointed, large and/or bulky
objects.
The device must not be stored and used on hard coarse
dirt and objects, as the parts can get stuck under the waste
water tank and cause scratches on the floor and tank.
Before starting work and storing the device, remove ob-
jects such as shards, pebbles, screws or toy parts from
the floor.

 Floor cleaning is performed using a to and fro move-
ment at the same speed as when vacuuming.
 Activate the Boost function for heavy soiling. Hold
the Boost function button pressed for this. The roller
speed and water volume are increased when the
boost function is activated. The Boost function can
be activated at cleaning level 1 and cleaning level 2.
The indicator for the corresponding cleaning level
flashes when the Boost function is activated. Allow
the device to slide slowly over the floor without ex-
erting any pressure on the device.

 Various different rollers are available, depending on
the scope of delivery. The colour of the rollers indi-
cates the respective special application for which
they are suitable.
–
Grey / yellow universal rollers: versatile
–
Rollers with black stripes: For cleaning insensi-
tive hard floors (e.g. stone, ceramic); not suitable
for sensitive natural stone floors (e.g. marble, ter-
racotta)
Note
For an optimum cleaning result, wash the rollers in the
washing machine at 60° C before initial use.
