Operation

General notes on operation

ATTENTION
Moisture
Material damage to sensitive floors
Check the surface to be cleaned for water sensitivity at
an inconspicuous location before using the device.
Do not clean water-sensitive floor coverings such as
e.g. untreated cork floors, since the moisture can pene-
trate and damage the floor.
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.

Note
● To avoid striped patterns, test the device on an in-
conspicuous area before using on sensitive surfac-
es, e.g. wood or fine stone.
● Do not allow it to remain in one area, but keep it in
motion.
● Observe the instructions for the floor covering man-
ufacturer.
Note

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)
