ATTENTION
Moisture
Damage to sensitive floors
Before using the device, check the floor in an inconspicuous place for water consistency.
Do not clean any water-sensitive coverings such as untreated wood or other porous soft flooring material, as moisture can penetrate and damage the floor.
ATTENTION
Machine damage
Damage to the device can occur from large, pointed, bulky objects.
The device must not be stored or used on hard, coarse dirt or objects, as the parts can become jammed under the waste water tank and scratch the floor and tank.
Before starting work and storing the device, remove objects such as shards of glass, pebbles, screws or toy parts from the floor.
Note
To avoid striped patterns, test the device on an inconspicuous area before using on sensitive surfaces, 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 manufacturer.
Note
Work backwards towards the door so that no footprints are left on the freshly mopped floor.
The floor is cleaned by moving the device back and forth at the same speed as when vacuuming.
Activate the boost function for heavy soiling. To do this, press and hold the boost function button. When the boost function is activated, the roller speed and the amount of water are increased. The boost function can be switched on at cleaning level 1 and cleaning level 2. When the boost function is activated, the display of the corresponding cleaning level flashes. Let the device slide slowly across the floor without exerting pressure on the device.
Different rollers are available depending on the scope of delivery. The color of the rollers shows which application they are especially suitable for.
Gray / yellow universal rollers: versatile
Rollers with black stripes: Cleaning of insensitive hard floors (e.g. stone, ceramics); not suitable for sensitive natural stone floors (e.g. marble, terracotta)
Note
For optimal cleaning results, wash the rollers in the washing machine at MAX 140 °F (60°C before using them for the first time.
