Vileda Windomatic Window Vacuum Cleaner
Thank you for purchasing the Vileda Windomatic. This window vacuum cleaner is designed for easy use, drying windows streak-free after washing them with your preferred cleaning liquid. It functions like a hand vacuum with a rubber lip that presses against the window, powerfully sucking dirty water into its integrated tank. The special two-fold rubber lip ensures no water drops remain on your window, leaving it streak-free.
This manual provides guidance for the correct and safe use of the Vileda Windomatic. Please read all instructions before first use and retain this document for future reference.
