WARNING
Risk of damage. Only use the recommend-
ed detergents. With other detergents, the
operator bears the increased risk regarding
the operational safety and danger of acci-
dent.
Only use detergents that are free from sol-
vents, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric
acid.
Follow the safety instructions for using de-
tergents.
Note:
Do not use highly foaming detergents.
Recommended detergents:
 Add the detergent to the fresh water
reservoir.
Note:
If the fresh water tank is empty, the clean-
ing head continues working without liquid
supply.
 Adjust the water quantity using the reg-
ulating button according to the dirt on
the floor covering.
Note:
Carry out initial cleaning attempts with low
water volume. Increase water volume step-
by-step until the desired cleaning result is
achieved.
To improve the vacuuming result on tiled
floors the vacuum bar can be turned to an
oblique position of up to 5°.
 Loosen the wing nuts.
 Turn the vacuum bar.
 Tighten the wing screws.
If the vacuum result is unsatisfactory the in-
clination of the straight vacuum bar can be
modified.
 Adjust the rotary handle to incline the
suction bar.
The bend of the suction lips upon contact
with the floor is influenced with the height
adjustment.
 Try adjusting the twist handles of the
height adjustment until the best vacu-
uming result is achieved.
