Compliance with standards
This Philips appliance complies with all applicable standards and regulations regarding exposure to
electromagnetic elds.
Floor cleaning
This appliance is intended for regular cleaning of hard oors. Always follow the cleaning instructions
for your hard oor when you use this appliance.
If you want to add a liquid oor cleaner to the water in the clean water tank, make sure that you
use a low-foaming or non-foaming liquid oor cleaner that can be diluted in water. As the clean
water tank has a capacity of 700ml, you only have to add a few drops of liquid oor cleaner to
the water.
Usage restrictions
- Only use this appliance on hard oors with a water-resistant top coat (such as linoleum,
enamelled tiles and varnished parquet) and stone oors (such as marble). If your oor has not
been treated to make it water-resistant, check with the manufacturer if you can use water to
clean it. Do not use this appliance on hard oors of which the water-resistant top coat is
damaged.
- Only use this appliance on linoleum oors that are properly afxed to prevent linoleum from
being drawn into the mopping nozzle.
- Do not use this appliance to clean carpets. If you move the appliance over a carpet or a rug
when it is switched on, the active protection system is activated. If you move the appliance over
carpet or a rug when it is switched off, wastewater droplets may end up on your carpet or rug.
- Do not push the appliance over the oor grilles of convector heaters. As the appliance cannot
pick up water that comes out of the nozzle when you move it over the grille, water ends up at
the bottom of the convector pit.
- Do not move the mopping nozzle sideways, as this leaves water traces. Only move the mopping
nozzle forwards and backwards.
Active protection system
This appliance is equipped with an active protection system.This active protection system has been
designed to recognise when a foreign object other than dirt or liquid is picked up from the oor.
When the system is activated, the appliance switches off and the red mopping brushes light lights up
continuously.The active protection system is also activated when the mopping brushes are too wet,
when you move the appliance over a carpet or a rug, or when you move it over ooring that is not
properly afxed.
Tips and other important information
- You can move the appliance just as quickly as a vacuum cleaner. To remove difcult stains, move
the appliance slowly over the stain.
- Switch off the appliance before you pull it over a threshold to prevent water traces on the oor
or water from splashing out of the mopping nozzle.
- After you switch off the appliance, move it forwards and backwards a few times to remove the
liquid that is present between the two mopping brushes. If you fail to do this, the appliance
leaves a trace of water on the oor when you lift it up.
- When you have lled the clean water tank, lock the lever properly. If the lever is not locked
properly, the clean water tank may fall out when you release the appliance from its parking
position.
