ATTENTION

The fresh and waste water tanks must be emptied be-
fore the appliance is set down on the ground for roller

rollers separately.

or



Wash the cleaning rollers in the washing machine 
up to 60°C. 

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 dry-
er.



After cleaning, allow the rollers to air-dry.

Illustration 



Screw the cleaning rollers onto the threaded rod up 
to the mechanical stop. 



Pay attention to the colour-codes on the inside of 
the roller and roller holder on the appliance (e.g. 
blue should match up with blue).



After the installation, check to ensure that the 
cleaning rollers sit snugly.

ATTENTION

In the case of heavy contamination or if parts such as 
stones or splinters get into the suction head, it will need 
to be cleaned. While the appliance is working, these 
parts will cause a rattling noise or will block up the suc-
tion ducts, diminishing suction performance.
