The cap for the fresh water tank filling funnel can be
used for measuring the correct quantity of detergent. It
has a measuring scale marked on the inner side.
Adjusting the water volume
1. Adjust the water volume via the regulating knob to
suit the degree of soiling of the floor covering.
Note
Perform initial cleaning tests with a low water volume.
Increase the water volume step by step until achieving
the desired cleaning result.
Note
The brush head continues operating without a liquid
supply if the fresh water tank is empty.
Adjusting the suction bar
Adjusting the inclination
The inclination must be adjusted so that the suction lips
of the suction bar make even contact with the floor over
the entire length of the suction bar.
1. Park the device on a surface without a slope.
2. Turn the key-operated switch to ON. Put down the
suction bar.
