Using the appliance

Usage restrictions
- Only use the water tank on hard floors with a water-resistant top coat
(such as linoleum, enameled tiles and varnished parquet) and stone
floors (such as marble). If your floor has not been treated to make it
water-resistant, check with the manufacturer if you can use water to
clean it. Do not use the water tank on hard floors of which the water-
resistant top coat is damaged.
- Only use the water tank on linoleum floors that are properly affixed to
prevent linoleum from being drawn into the mopping nozzle.
- Do not use the water tank to clean carpets.
- Do not move the appliance with water tank assembled sideways, as this
leaves water traces. Only move forwards and backwards.
Note: Runtime duration depends on power level used during cleaning.
Mopping pad and wetting strip (FC6409, FC6408)
FC6408 comes with one wetting strip and two identical microfiber mopping
pads.
FC6409 comes with two wetting strips and two different microfiber
mopping pads.
- The wetting strip with the icon with two drops and the aqua-colored
mopping pad with wide stripes are suitable for mopping tiled floors.
- The wetting strip with the icon with one drop and the light blue mopping
pad with narrow stripes are suitable for mopping laminate and water-
resistant parquet and wooden floors.
Using liquid floor cleaner in the water tank
If you want to add a liquid floor cleaner to the water in the water tank, make
sure that you use a low-foaming or non-foaming liquid floor cleaner that
can be diluted in water. As the water tank has a capacity of 200ml, you only
have to add a few drops of liquid floor cleaner to the water.
Cleaning the water tank
To clean the water tank, mix one part vinegar with three parts water. Pour
this mixture into the water tank and close the cap. Shake the water tank and
put the water tank on a water-resistant surface. Leave the water-vinegar
mixture in the water tank overnight. Then empty the water tank, rinse it
thoroughly with fresh water, and use it normally again.

larger than normal.
The floor dries with

appliance by
pressing the on
button on the
