Well, that's just it. That "pentagram" you see is formed by the brushes of the polisher. There is an inner revolving brush in the shape of a 5-pointed star, encirled by a stationery outer brush ring that forms a circle around it. It really is a very strange and puzzling thing.
There's another polishing attachment that also has a brush in the shape of a "mystical symbol. Its called the "Speed Polisher." The brush forms the shape of a triangle inside a circle --- another very meaningful esoteric sign.
I'll see if i can't take a photo or two of it.

Having never been the math whiz...
How does "ONE part cleaner to FIVE parts water equal 'one CUP cleaner to one QUART of water'"?

Tom,
Not sure how you chose this thread for your dilution ratio question (perhaps you are diluting shampoo concentrate), but I will attempt to clear up your misunderstanding.
It is often easier to use the same units (e.g. tablespoons, ounces) when diluting. In fact, dilution ratios must be comprised of equivalent parts. That is not to say that you can't use different units such as cups and ounces, but one must be a smaller equivalent unit of the other.
For reference, a quart contains 32 ounces, and a cup contains 8 ounces. A dilution ratio, then, informs you of what equivalent parts to use (whatever the unit may be). If is 1:5 (verbalized "1 to 5") you would use 8 oz. solute (1 part) to 40 oz. of water (5 parts) as 8 x 5 is 40. This would larger than a quart (4 cups).
Here is a a link to dilution ratio information; including a chart: http://www.massco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/howtocalculatedilutionratios.pdf
I have also attached a liquid measurement equivalents chart.
Hope this helps.

Ronnie, I'm pretty clear how to measure but apparenty Electrolux isn't. Go back and review the instruction in the broucher (damn that a hard word to spell, where is Mrs. Bucket when I need her!)
LOL, Tom. Didn't mean to insult your intelligence--I hadn't read the brochure and obviously thought your question was based on your own confusion.
Apparently many others found the dilution ratios confusing (along with the brochure's writers), because the current machines just direct the user to use a capful for so much water (I forget how much). It seems, though, that older generations were better at mental math overall due to the absence of calculators.
Ah, yes, Mrs. Bucket (Bouquet)! She would undoubtedly have all the answers!
