WINDOW CLEANING

The window wiper attachment (where provided)
is an extremely practical tool for cleaning glass
surfaces. If your appliance is not provided with
this accessory, you can ask your dealer for one
as an optional extra.

CAUTION: When cleaning window with hot
water or steam in cold weather, pre-heat
glass panes with a weak jet of hot water or
steam and then continue at a higher
temperature setting to avoid breakage due to
sudden changes in temperature.

Fit the attachment either directly onto the
handgrip or, if it makes work easier, use the
rigid extension tubes as well.
In this case, fit the longer solution dispenser to
the extension tubes and secure it with its clips.

Glass can be cleaned with hot or cold water, or
with steam. In all cases use the following
method: spray water or steam jet on the surface
to be cleaned and go over the area with the
sponge side of
the squeegee,
then wipe the
glass dry by
turning the
squeegee over
and using the
rubber scraper
side. 

4. CARE AND

MAINTENACE OF
THE APPLIANCE

CAUTION: Always disconnect the appliance
from mains outlet before performing any
care or maintenance operation.

After the appliance has been used for extraction
cleaning or wet vacuuming, the tools and
accessories should be rinsed to ensure
maximum hygiene before storing the machine.
Clean nozzle, tubes, hose, and attachments by
vacuuming up a few litres of clean water.

Always empty out the dirty-water tank after use
(see instructions).
After emptying and rinsing the dirty-water tank,
remove the wet-vacuum foam filter (35), wash it
under running water and let it dry completely
before re-positioning. 

Owing to their particular composition, wet-
vacuum foam filters must be kept dry to prolong
their life and prevent deterioration. Periodically
replace the
exhaust filters
located inside
the exhaust port
hatch on the
motor unit
(fig. A).
