ENGLISH

The automatic cleaning machines cannot be used for ﬁtted carpet and carpet cleaning. This appliance is suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, ofﬁces and rental businesses. Any other use is considered as improper use. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting from such use. The risk for such use is borne solely by the user. Proper use also includes proper operation, servicing and repairs as speciﬁed by the manufacturer. Changes made to the automatic machines by the users themselves rule out the liability of the manufacturer for any resultant damage. Floor coverings are to be checked with regard to the suitability of this cleaning method before the use of the machine! Note the surface pressure in the case of point-elastic floors, e.g. in gymnasiums! The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage to the machine and the floor covering to be cleaned which is caused by the use of the wrong brushes and cleaning agents.
