How to use

Fill the fresh water or cleaning fluid reservoir according to the manufacturer’s instructions and attach the appropriate cleaning head or brush as required. Switch the unit on and guide it across the floor at a steady pace, allowing the cleaning head to agitate and collect dirt while the recovery system captures the used water. Empty and rinse the dirty water tank after use and allow removable components to dry before storage. Replace brushes or pads as needed depending on wear and the level of soiling.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the machine on properly sealed hard floors and avoid large volumes of loose debris before operating. Use cleaning solutions recommended for sealed floors and follow dilution instructions. Regularly check and clean the recovery tank and brush components to maintain performance and avoid odors.
