Problem
The appliance
does not clean as
well as it used to.
24
Possible cause
The active protection
system may have been
activated for three
reasons: (1) the appli-
ance picked up a foreign
object, (2) the mopping
brushes are too wet or
(3) you have moved the
appliance over a carpet.
The mopping brushes
automatically stopped
rotating because they
encountered too heavy
resistance. The appli-
ance continues to make
a sound, but it does not
work properly.
The active protection sys-
tem has been activated
because the brushes are
too wet. The mopping
brushes automatically
stopped rotating because
they encountered too
heavy resistance.
The mopping nozzle
lid is not closed prop-
erly. The sound of the
appliance decreases and
the appliance no longer
applies water to the floor
because the mopping
brushes do not rotate
and the appliance does
not mop up anything.
Solution
Release the power-on button to switch off the ap-
pliance. Put the appliance upright in parking position
('click') and pull the plug out of the wall socket. Open
the mopping nozzle lid, remove the mopping brush
cover and remove the object. Reinsert the mopping
brush cover, close the mopping nozzle lid, put the
plug in the wall socket and switch on the appliance
again (see chapter 'Using your AquaTrio', section
'Active protection system is activated'). If you find no
object, the active protection system may have been
activated because the mopping brushes are too wet
(see next cause and solution) or because you moved
the appliance over a carpet. Pull the plug out of the
wall socket, open and close the mopping nozzle lid,
put the plug in the wall socket again, switch on the
appliance and start cleaning again.
If the above solutions did not help and the appliance
still does not work, switch on the appliance for at
least 10 seconds. Then open and close the mopping
nozzle lid, switch on the appliance and start cleaning
again.
Release the power-on button to switch off the ap-
pliance. Put the appliance upright in parking position
('click') and pull the plug out of the wall socket.
Remove the mopping brushes from the mopping
nozzle and remove excess water from the mopping
brushes by squeezing them over a sink (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance', section 'Cleaning the
mopping nozzle'). Then you can reinsert the mopping
brushes, reinsert the mopping brush cover, close the
mopping nozzle lid, put the plug in the wall socket
and switch on the appliance again (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance', section 'Reassembling
the mopping nozzle'). If this does not work, let the
mopping brushes dry (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance', section 'Cleaning the mopping nozzle').
Make sure the mopping brushes and the mopping
brush cover are assembled correctly. Close the mop-
ping nozzle lid properly. Make sure you press the lid
until it locks with a click (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance', section 'Reassembling the mopping
nozzle').
