Illustration Place the device in the parking station for safe stor- age. Illustration Screw the cleaning rollers onto the threaded rod up to the mechanical stop. Pay attention to the colour-codes on the inside of the roller and roller holder on the appliance (e.g. blue should match up with blue). After the installation, check to ensure that the cleaning rollers sit snugly. Illustration Plug the charging cable of the charger into the charging socket on the device. Plug the mains plug of the charger into a power out- let. Illustration The LED indicator lights display the battery's cur- rent charging state. All 3 LED indicator lights flash from bottom to top when charging a completely empty battery. The lowermost LED lights up continuously when the battery is 1/3 charged, the two upper LEDs con- tinue to flash. When the battery is 2/3 charged, the two lower LEDs light up continuously, the uppermost LED continues to flash. After the battery has been fully charged, the 3 LED indicator lights will continue to light constantly for 60 minutes. After this time, the LED indicator lights go out.

Illustration Insert the fresh water container into the appliance. The fresh water tank must sit snugly into the appli- ance. ATTENTION *Follow the recommended dosage instructions on the detergent/care agent. ATTENTION Illustration The device can only vacuum dried dirt and liquids (max. 140 ml). Illustration Brush or vacuum the floor before starting work. This re- moves dirt and loose particles from the floor before the wet cleaning commences. 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). Illustration To avoid fresh footprints on the freshly-wiped floor, work backwards towards the door. 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. Pressure does not need to be exerted on the de- vice. 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. Make sure the fresh water tank is filled with water and the waste water tank is fitted in the appliance. Illustration To switch on the appliance press the on/off switch. Move the unit back and forth several times until the rollers are sufficiently moistened.

Wash the cleaning rollers in the washing machine up to 60°C. ATTENTION Do not use any soft detergents when cleaning in the washing machine. This avoids causing damage to the microfibres. It also preserves the high performance lev- els of the cleaning rollers. The cleaning rollers are not suitable for the tumble dry- er. Figure to Once cleaned, place the rollers on the cleaning sta- tion storage and leave them to air dry. Drying time can be minimized by wringing out the rollers beforehand. Also clean the floor head cover and waste water tank if the device is not going to be used further. Clean the roller drive with a moist cloth. ATTENTION The use of unsuitable cleaning and disinfecting agents can damage the appliance and will void the warranty. Note Add cleaning or disinfecting agent as required. When dosing the detergent and care product, fol- low the manufacturer's dosage instructions. To prevent foaming, first fill the fresh water tank with water then cleaning or disinfecting agent. To avoid exceeding the "MAX" fill level on the fresh water tank, leave room for the cleaning or disinfect- ing agent when filling with water.
