Controls
The machine has the following controls and indicator lights:
• Main switch (g. 14, ref. 1): connects and disconnects electrical power to and from all functions
of the machine.
• Power on light (mains powered model) (g. x, ref. x): colour yellow, indicates that the power
cable of the machine is connected to the mains supply and the main switch has been depressed
(g. 14, ref. 1).
• Battery charge indicator (battery powered models only) (g. 15, ref. 1): consists of 3 Leds, red,
yellow and green, showing the battery charge level. Possible charge level indications:
• Green Led alight: battery charge > 30.0 %.
• Yellow Led alight: battery charge between 10% and 30%.
• Red Led alight: battery charge between 5% and 10%.
• Red Led blinking: battery charge < 5%, battery completely at; after a few seconds the
brush motor and suction motor will be shut o󰀨;
• Brush control button (g. 15, ref. 2): enables (Led alight) and disables (Led dark) operation
of the “Brush” function; the brush does not start rotating until the “Brush control lever”(g. 15,
ref. 2) is operated.
! INFORMATION
Pressing the brush control button also has the e󰀨ect of automatically enabling the suction
and detergent solution ow functions, which can then be controlled and adjusted by way of
the respective single buttons on the console.
• Suction control button (g. 15, ref. 3): switches on (“Led alight”) and switches o󰀨 (“Led dark”)
the suction motor, which generates the vacuum needed to dry the oor after scrubbing. The
motor comes into operation only when activated by way of the “Brush control lever”.
• Detergent ow button (g.15, ref. 5): enables (Led alight) and disables (Led dark) the ow of
detergent solution, with three levels of delivery available. Flow is enabled only with the brush
in operation.
• ECO button (g.15, ref. 4): enables (Led alight) and disables (Led dark) ECO operating mode.
! INFORMATION
In ECO operating mode, the power of the brush motor and suction motor is reduced
automatically and the ow of detergent solution defaults to delivery level 1.

Working
• Press the main switch (g. 16, ref. 1).
• Press the brush button or the ECO button (g. 17, ref. 1), in addition
to activating the brush, this will also enable the vacuum function
and the ow of detergent solution.
• Lower the squeegee by operating the lever (g. 16, ref. 2).
• Depress the brush control lever (g. 16, ref. 3).
• Begin working.
! INFORMATION
This machine can dry the oor moving both forward and in reverse.
To operate the drying function in reverse, pull the lever upwards
(g. 18, ref. 1).
• When work is in progress, check the thoroughness of the wash and
regulate the ow of detergent solution accordingly, with the relative
button (g. 17, ref. 3).
! INFORMATION
Check periodically that the detergent solution is reaching the
brush, and take care to ll the tank when empty.
! WARNING
Should the red Led of the battery charge indicator light up when
work is in progress, this means that the battery is almost out of
power, and after a few seconds the brush and vacuum functions will
shut o󰀨 automatically. Proceed to recharge the battery, referring to
the section “Battery: preparation / installation / recharging”.
In cases where oors are soiled with particularly stubborn dirt, scrubbing
and drying operations can be performed in two separate stages.
Prewashing with brushes or pads:
• Plug the machine into the power socket (mains powered model).
• Raise the squeegee by operating the lever (g. 16, ref. 2).
• Press the main switch (g. 16, ref. 1).
• Press the brush control button (g. 17, ref. 1).
• Switch o󰀨 the vacuum function by pressing the suction control
button (g. 17, ref. 2).
• Depress the brush control lever (g. 16, ref. 3).
• When scrubbing particularly dirty areas, give the detergent su󰀩cient
time to perform its chemical action of detaching and suspending
the dirt in the lm of water, and allow the brushes time to exert an
e󰀨ective mechanical action.
Drying
• Lower the squeegee by operating the lever (g. 16, ref. 2).
• Press the suction control button to activate the vacuum function,
and pass over the area washed previously: this will produce an
e󰀨ect similar to a thorough scrub, with the result that subsequent
routine maintenance work on the oor will be less time-consuming.
