Use
This device sweeps up dust and loose dirt into the collecting container and then cleans the floor with hot steam immediately after this. However, you can also activate the sweep function and steam function individually.
We recommend that you first sweep a very dirty floor with the device and then clean it with steam in a second step.
The water tank can be filled with tap water. However, in areas which have hard water, we recommend that you use distilled water in order to prevent calcification.
A. Preparing the device/filling water tank

Never pour any cleaning agent or other additives into the water tank. These may damage the device.
Before using the device, always check the floor cloth for signs of wear. Do not use it if it shows any signs of wear or if it is damaged! It could damage your flooring!
