Replace the clean cleaning pads, turn on the automatic water spray function or keep the upper cleaning wheel clean and dry. Spray a little water on the lower cleaning wheel (1~2 sprays are sufficient). 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 cloth first, then wipe with a damp cloth for best results. For the dirtiest glasses, you can wipe them several times to ensure the cleaning effect.
2. Do not get the cleaning cloth completely wet during normal use.
3. If the machine runs slowly, please replace the cleaning cloth.
