cleaning cloth and lift the floor nozzle up.

Note
Initially, the floor cleaning cloth's hook and loop fastener
strip is very strong and cannot be removed from the
floor nozzle easily. After the floor cleaning cloth has
been used several times and washed, it is easier to re-
move from the floor nozzle and it has reached the opti-
mum adhesion.
Parking the floor nozzle
1. Hang the floor nozzle in the park bracket during
breaks in work.

Descaling the steam boiler is not required if commer-

the steam boiler is filled.

vide information on hardness of tap water.
