Operation

General information on the
operation
ATTENTION
Illustration
The appliance must only be used for the intake of dirt
and fluids (max. 250 ml).
Illustration
Before beginning your work, remove any objects, such
as shards, pebbles, screws or toy parts from the floor.
Before use, check the floor for water consistency at sus-
pect areas. Do not clean water-sensitive coatings, such
as untreated cork floors (moisture ingress is possible
which may damage the floor).
Notes
To prevent yourself from tripping over network cables,
keep the handle in one hand, and the network cable in
the other.
Illustration
To avoid fresh footprints on the freshly-wiped floor, work
backwards towards the door.
 Hold the appliance at the handle at angle of approx.
60 degrees.
 Clean the floor by moving the appliance back and
forth at a similar speed as if you were vacuum
cleaning.
 If the floor is especially dirty, let the appliance glide
slowly across the floor.
 For scope of delivery of the roller pads in grey and
yellow: Both roller pads have the same functionali-
ty, they can be used for different areas of applica-
tion (colour distinction, e.g. for kitchen and bath-
room).
ATTENTION
After switching on the appliance, the cleaning rollers will
begin to rotate. Hold the handle tight to prevent the ap-
pliance from moving forwards by itself.
