The cleaning time depends on the level of
dirt and is divided into three cleaning types.
Use dry vacuum clean on the travellators/
escalators that have already been cleaned.
Cleaning slighly dirty travellators/ escalators
(normally, at short regular intervals). At this
setting, the appliance works with reduced
quantity of water. The water pump works
with regular strokes.
Cleaning very dirty travellators/ escalators
(normally done when the escalator has not
been cleaned for a long time). Areas with
heavy dirt and stains should ideally be
cleaned manually.
– First clear off loose, coarse dust manual-
ly.
– Remove hard objects (such as stones)
from the ridges of the steps.
– Clean the front side of the escalator
steps manually.
– Clean the stepping areas in overlapping
strips. To do that, first move the appli-
ance from the working position and place
it on the side.
– Observe the steps while cleaning. They
should be moist but not wet. There
should not be any foam residue.
– First do moist cleaning (with detergent
liquid) and then dry (by setting the appli-
ance to dry vacuum cleaning).
– Then clean using clear water so as to re-
move detergent residues.
