Note
For cleaning tiled floors, set the straight
vacuum bar in such a way that cleaning is
done at right angles to the joints.
The inclined position and the inclination of
the vacuum bar can be adjusted to achieve
better suction results (see "Setting the Vac-
uum Bar").
Setting the brush speed
(BR 55/60 W only)
Turn the info button clockwise until
"Bürste=..." or "Brush=..." is displayed.
Shortly press the info button - display
blinks.
Set the brush speed by turning the info
button.
– "...Power" - high speed (100%).
– "...Whisper" - medium speed (60%).
– "...Fine" - low speed (40%).
Press the info button to confirm the set
value.
Switching on the cleaning head
Warning!
Risk of damage to the floor covering. Do
not operate the appliance on the spot.
Press the pedal downwards; move it to
the left and release it upward. The
cleaning head is lowered and the brush
motor starts automatically.
Adjust brush contact pressure at the le-
ver.
Note
Carry out the initial cleaning attempts with
less contact pressure. Increase contact
pressure step-by-step until the desired
cleaning result is achieved. A correct set-
ting of the contact pressure reduces power
consumption and the wear and tear of the
brushes.
The brush motors come to a halt when the
machine stops and when there is overload.
Warning
Floors can get damaged on account of too
high contact pressure. Carry out the initial
polishing attempts with less contact pres-
sure. Increase the contact pressure as per
requirements until the desired polishing re-
sult is achieved.
Setting the Vacuum Bar
Oblique position
To improve the vacuuming result on tiled
floors the vacuum bar can be turned to an
oblique position of up to 5°.
