slippery for a while (Fig. 3).
- To prevent damage, never put wax, oil, floor maintenance products or
liquid floor cleaners that are not water-dilutable in the water tank.
- Do not mix different types of liquid floor cleaner. When you have used
one liquid floor cleaner, first empty and rinse the water tank before you
add another liquid floor cleaner to the water in the water tank.
- To prevent damage, do not use liquid floor cleaners that are not
transparent or even milky.
- Never exceed the maximum quantities mentioned on the bottle when
you use a liquid floor cleaner. Do not add more than a few drops to the
water in the water tank, as this tank has a capacity of 200ml.

regulations regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.
Using the appliance
Usage restrictions
- Only use the water tank on hard floors with a water-resistant top coat
(such as linoleum, enameled tiles and varnished parquet) and stone
floors (such as marble). If your floor has not been treated to make it
water-resistant, check with the manufacturer if you can use water to
clean it. Do not use the water tank on hard floors of which the water-
resistant top coat is damaged.
- Only use the water tank on linoleum floors that are properly affixed to
prevent linoleum from being drawn into the mopping nozzle.
- Do not use the water tank to clean carpets.
- Do not move the appliance with water tank assembled sideways, as this
leaves water traces. Only move forwards and backwards.
Note: Runtime duration depends on power level used during cleaning.

pads.

pad with narrow stripes are suitable for mopping laminate and water-
resistant parquet and wooden floors.
Using liquid floor cleaner in the water tank
If you want to add a liquid floor cleaner to the water in the water tank, make
sure that you use a low-foaming or non-foaming liquid floor cleaner that
can be diluted in water. As the water tank has a capacity of 200ml, you only
have to add a few drops of liquid floor cleaner to the water.
Cleaning the water tank
To clean the water tank, mix one part vinegar with three parts water. Pour
this mixture into the water tank and close the cap. Shake the water tank and
put the water tank on a water-resistant surface. Leave the water-vinegar
mixture in the water tank overnight. Then empty the water tank, rinse it
thoroughly with fresh water, and use it normally again.
