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). Notes To avoid striped patterns, test the device on an in- conspicuous area before using on sensitive surfac- es, e.g. wood or fine stone. Don't stay in one place, keep moving. Follow the instructions of the floor covering manu- facturer. 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 Illustration To clean the device, remove the individual components (floor head cover, fresh water tank, waste water tank and rollers) and clean them separately. Wipe down the rest of the device with a moist cloth. ATTENTION The waste water tank must be cleaned regularly to en- sure that dirt does not accumulate in the tank. ATTENTION Do not clean the floor head cover in a dishwasher: The basic function of the device can be impaired if the floor head cover is distorted by the dishwasher and the wiper edge no longer presses correctly onto the rollers. This will produce a worse cleaning result. Illustration Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so. Illustration Place the device in the parking station. Figure to Remove the waste water tank from the appliance. See Chapter "Emptying the waste water tank". Clean the floor head cover, waste water tank and waste water tank flaps with tap water. The flaps of the two waste water tank chambers can be removed and cleaned separately. Alternatively, the waste water tank and waste water tank flaps can be cleaned in a dishwasher. Note The rubber inlays of the waste water tank flaps can be- come sticky when washed in a dishwasher. This does not affect their sealing ability. Figure to Also clean the rollers if the device is not going to be used further. See chapter "Cleaning the rollers". Figure to After cleaning, fit the waste water tank with flaps and floor head cover back into the device. ATTENTION Clean the floor head if dirty.

ATTENTION The rollers should be washed under a tap or cleaned in a washing machine after each use to prevent accumu- lation of detergent residues in the rollers that can lead to the formation of foam over time. The fresh water tank and waste water tank must be emptied if the device is laid on the floor in order to re- move the rollers. This prevents liquids from escaping from the tanks while the device is lying on the floor. Illustration Switch off the appliance; press the on/off button to do so. Illustration Place the device in the parking station. Illustration Twist out the cleaning rollers from the recessed grip. Illustration Clean the cleaning rollers under running water.

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 dryer. ATTENTION To avoid damaging the washing machine, we recom- mend placing the rollers in a laundry net and loading the washing machine with additional laundry. Storing the Appliance Care and maintenance Clean the waste water tank Cleaning the floor head Cleaning the rollers 17EN– 11 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.
