NOTICE:
Use only neutral detergents. Do not
use household detergents, acid detergents, alka-
line detergents, bleaches, solvents, flammable
material, or industrial grade solutions, which may
damage the machine or your property. Prepare
cleaning solution as instructed on the solution
bottle, and always test it in an inconspicuous
place in advance.
NOTICE:
If a highly viscous detergent is used,
the nozzle is likely to clog. When using the high
viscosity detergent, dilute the detergent by add-
ing water to the bottle before use.
NOTE: When using the foam nozzle, the detergent
in the bottle is diluted with the water supplied by the
machine and sprayed. You do not have to dilute the
concentration of detergent in the bottle more than
necessary. Adjust the concentration of detergent
while checking the usage conditions.
NOTE: If the foam nozzle is tipped on its side, the
detergent may spill.
Prepare detergent before using the foam nozzle.
