Increased risk of tipping over for devices with an
overhead guard
A risk of tipping over exists if the overhead guard col-
lides with obstacles.
Drive more carefully when using a device with an over-
head guard.
Note the maximum headroom at the operating location.
The height of the device is specified in the "Technical
data" chapter.
WARNING
Risk of injury

Filling detergent via the dosing device
Only with DOSE variant:
Detergent is added to the fresh water on the way to the
cleaning head by a dosing device.
1. Fill the detergent into the detergent canister.
Note
A maximum of 3% detergent can be added with the dos-
ing device. If the dosage is higher, the detergent must
be added to the fresh water tank.
ATTENTION
Danger of clogging
When adding detergent to the fresh water tank, the de-
tergent can dry out and disrupt the function of the dosing
device.
Rinse the device with clear water after adding the deter-
gent to the fresh water tank: Select a cleaning program
with water application, set the water quantity to the high-
est value, set the detergent dosage to 0.
Note
The device has a fresh water level indicator on the dis-
play. Detergent dosing is also stopped when the fresh
water tank is empty. The cleaning head continues to
work without supply of liquid.
Filling the detergent into the fresh water tank
1. Fill the detergent into the fresh water tank.
Note: The lid for the filling hole of the fresh water
tank can be used to measure the detergent. It has a
measuring scale marked on the inner side.
Adjusting parameters (yellow Intelligent key)
The parameters for the various cleaning programs are
preset in the device.
Individual parameters can be changed depending on
the authorization of the yellow Intelligent Key.

ferent cleaning program is selected with the program
switch.
A grey Intelligent Key must be used for making adjust-
ments if parameters are to be changed permanently.
This setting procedure is described in the section "Grey
Intelligent Key".
Note
Almost all displayed texts regarding parameter settings
are self-explanatory. The only exception is the FACT pa-
rameter:
● Fine Clean: Low brush speed for removing grey film
from fine stone.
● Whisper Clean: Medium brush speed for mainte-
nance cleaning with reduced noise level.
● Power Clean: High brush speed for polishing, crys-
tallizing and sweeping.
