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: The operating time depends on the power level used during cleaning.
