Care of the Accessories
ATTENTION
Do not use any soft detergents when cleaning in the
washing machine. This avoids causing damage to the
microfibres. It also preserves the high performance lev-
els of the cleaning rollers.
The cleaning rollers are not suitable for the tumble dryer.
 Wash dirty cleaning rollers in the washing machine
at 60 °C.
Detergents and care products
ATTENTION
The use of unsuitable cleaning and disinfecting agents
can damage the appliance and will void the warranty.
Note
Add cleaning or disinfecting agent as required.
 When dosing the detergent and care product, fol-
low the manufacturer's dosage instructions.
 To prevent foaming, first fill the fresh water tank
with water then cleaning or disinfecting agent.
 To avoid exceeding the "MAX" fill level on the fresh
water tank, leave room for the cleaning or disinfect-
ing agent when filling with water.
