- Dirty Water Tank Is Full
- If the dirty water tank is full, water will not be absorbed. Empty the tank to continue cleaning.
- Clean Water Tank Not Properly Connected
- If the clean water tank is not connected correctly, water may drip onto the floor. Push the tank down firmly to secure it.
- Too Much Detergent Used
- Press the dosing button only once for the correct amount of detergent. If you used too much, empty the tank, rinse it under the tap, and refill with clean water.
- Detergent Residue on the Floor
- Residue can cause streaks. Clean the floor several times without detergent to remove any buildup.
- Nozzle Lifted from the Floor
- Do not lift the nozzle while cleaning or hold it vertically, as this can cause dripping and water traces.
- Clogged Pad
- If cleaning is uneven, wash the pad in the washing machine (up to 40°C). Follow the care label. Replace the pad if needed (models XV1882 or XV1883).
- Wrong Wetness Setting (Only 5000 Series)
- Use Wetness Setting 2 (two LEDs lit) for a wetter cleaning result. The appliance always starts at Wetness Setting 1 by default (see image below).
