Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

Press the power button to turn the device on. The rollers will begin to rotate and moisten. Press the button again to turn off the device.

2. Selecting Cleaning Modes

The FC 7 Cordless offers three cleaning modes:

• Level 1 (Parquet Mode): Ideal for delicate wooden floors, with lower water flow and roller speed (450 rpm).
• Level 2 (Stone/Tile Mode): Suitable for general hard floors, with increased water flow and roller speed (490 rpm).
• Boost Mode: For stubborn dirt and heavily soiled areas, providing maximum water flow and roller speed (530 rpm).

Adjust the mode using the dedicated buttons on the handle.

3. Cleaning the Floor

Guide the device across the floor. The self-propelled rollers will assist in movement. The flexible head allows easy cleaning under furniture. The device simultaneously picks up dry debris and mops the floor, leaving it clean and dry within approximately 2 minutes.
