4. How to Clean Windows

4.1 Dry Wipe First

• The first time you wipe, you must "dry wipe" (turn off the water spray function and do not spray any water), and first remove the wind and sand on the glass surface.
• If you spray some water on the cleaning cloth or glass first, the water will mix with the sand and turn into yellow muddy water, and the wiping result will be poor.
• If it's slipping on the glass, you can spray a little water on the cleaning pads.

4.2 Then Wet Wipe

Replace the clean cleaning pad, turn on the automatic water spray function. Spray a little water on the cleaning pad or on the window. Do not make it too wet, the completely wet cleaning pad will affect the machine Running.

4.3 Cleaning Tips

1. Wipe with a dry pad first, then wipe with a damp pad for best results. For the dirtiest glasses, you can wipe them several times to ensure the cleaning effect.
2. Dusty windows must be cleaned with a dry-cleaning pad or with the device without turning on the spraying function.
3. Use the machine in sunny or low-humidity weather, dry wiping works best.
4. The surface of window with water molecules becomes slippery and has white streaks left on the window so it is not suggested using the device to clean exterior windows on rainy or high humidity days.
5. Do not get the cleaning pad completely wet during normal use.
6. If the machine runs slowly, please replace the cleaning pad.
