MOPPING FUNCTION

OPERATION

1. Remove the mopping cloth from the bottom part of the water tank. [Fig. 13]

   NOTE: To enhance the cleaning result and to achieve an equal distribution of water onto the floor, it is necessary to soak the cleaning cloth under running water and slightly wring it out, before attaching it to the water tank. This enhances equal flow of water from the water tank through the cleaning cloth. WARNING: Water will start to drip out of the attachment, as soon as the water tank has been inserted. Start the cleaning process immediately after inserting the water tank, so avoid possible damages to the floor. Due to the same reason, remove the water tank directly after the cleaning process has ended. Always supervise the product during the cleaning, to prevent water damages to the flooring, in case the robot should get stuck.
