6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Powering On and Selecting Mode

Press the power button on the handle to turn on the X-Clean 4. The intelligent display will illuminate. The appliance typically starts in 'Auto' mode, which automatically adjusts the roller rotation speed and water flow based on dirt detection. An 'Eco' mode may also be available for lighter cleaning and extended battery life.

6.2. Cleaning Operation

Gently push the appliance forward to begin cleaning. The self-propelled roller system makes the X-Clean 4 feel lightweight and easy to maneuver. For optimal results, move the appliance in a backward motion to ensure the floor is left with minimal moisture.

• 2-in-1 Cleaning: The X-Clean 4 vacuums and washes simultaneously, effectively removing both solid debris and liquid spills in one pass.
• Smart Dirt Detection: The appliance's sensors detect the level of dirt on the floor and automatically adjust its cleaning power for perfect results.
• Edge Cleaning: The integrated side brush allows for effective cleaning along walls and into corners.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Rowenta X-Clean 4.

7.1. Automatic Self-Cleaning Cycle

After each use, place the appliance back on its charging base. Press the dedicated self-cleaning button (refer to your appliance's handle for exact button location). The X-Clean 4 will perform an automatic cleaning cycle of the roller brush and internal components, flushing out dirty water and debris. This helps prevent odors and maintains hygiene.

7.2. Emptying and Cleaning the Dirty Water Tank

The dirty water tank (lower tank) should be emptied after each cleaning session or when the appliance indicates it is full. Remove the tank, open its lid, and dispose of the dirty water. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry before reinserting it.

7.3. Roller Brush and Filter Care

Even with the self-cleaning function, it is recommended to periodically remove the roller brush and rinse it under running water. Allow the roller to air dry completely (ideally for 24-48 hours) before reattaching it. The filters should also be removed and rinsed regularly. Ensure filters are completely dry before reinstallation to prevent mold or odors.
