Purpose and intended use

All  automatic  cleaning  machines  are  exclusively  in-

tended  for  the  wet  cleaning  of  water-resistant  floor 

coverings in building interiors.
Any use going beyond that is deemed not to be in line 

with the intended purpose. The manufacturer does not 

accept any liability for any resultant damage; the risk in 

such cases is borne by the user only.
The cleaners are suitable for commercial use, e.g. in 

hotels, schools, hospitals, etc.
Use for the intended purpose also includes adherence 

to  the  operating,  servicing  and  maintenance  instruc-

tions prescribed by the manufacturer.
Changes made to the automatic machines by the us-

ers themselves rule out the liability of the manufacturer 

for any resultant damage.
Floor coverings are to be checked with regard to the 

suitability of this cleaning method before the use of the 

machine!
Note the surface pressure in the case of point-elastic 

floors, e.g. in gymnasiums!
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage to the 

machine and the floor covering to be cleaned which is 

caused by the use of the wrong brushes and cleaning 

agents.

Storage

Store the appliance in a dry place, protected from 

frost.

Electrical connection

Connected the appliance via a residual current cir-

cuit breaker.

Arrange  the  electrical  parts  (sockets,  plugs  and 

couplings) and lay down the extension lead so that 

the protection class is maintained.

Connectors  and  couplings  of  power  supply  cords 

and extension leads must be watertight.
