Parameters for the different cleaning pro-

grammes are preset in the appliance.

Depending on the authorisation of the yel-

low Intelligent Key, individual parameters 

can be changed.

If you wish to permanently change the parame-

ters, you must use a grey Intelligent Key. This 

adjustment procedure is described in the sec-

tion "Grey Intelligent Key“.

Note:

Almost all displayed text regarding param-

eter adjustment is self-explanatory. The 

only exception is the parameter FACT:

–

Fine Clean: Lower brush speed for remov-

ing the grey film on fine stone floors.

for regular cleaning with reduced noise 

level.

ishing, crystallising and sweeping.
