Care and service

Floor head cleaning by means of rinsing
process
ATTENTION
Dirt or detergent residues
The waste water tank and the hair filters must be
cleaned regularly to ensure that dirt does not accumu-
late in the tank and hair filters. Dirt particles can clog the
hair filters and slots if the device is not cleaned after use.
The accumulation of dirt and bacteria can also result in
the development of unpleasant odours in the device.
On completion of work, place the device in the cleaning
station and start the rinsing process.
Clean the floor head in the cleaning station only by us-
ing the automatic rinsing process and not by pouring
water into the station separately. Make sure that the
waste water tank is attached.
Do not clean the device or the top or bottom of the floor
head under running water or under a shower spray, oth-
erwise water may enter.
Note
The rinsing process cannot be started while the "MAX"
indicator (red) is lit and the waste water tank has not
been emptied.
Note
The LED lighting on the floor head remains switched off
during the rinsing process.
