Using the carpet cleaner
13
Cleaning a carpet
• Before cleaning, determine where to start and stop, making sure
you will not walk over previously cleaned areas.
• Do not oversaturate the carpet.
• For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
1. Plug the mains cord
16
into an electrical outlet and turn it on
by using the on/off switch
2
.
2. Step on the handle release pedal
13
to lower the carpet
cleaner into the cleaning position.
3. While pulling the solution release trigger
11
, pull the carpet
cleaner in a backwards direction towards you.
4. Release the solution release trigger and push the carpet cleaner
forward in the same path to agitate and remove dirty water and
solution from the carpet.
5. For heavily soiled areas, repeat as necessary.
Tips for carpet cleaning
• Use the carrying handle
10
to lift up the carpet cleaner and move it to the
desired cleaning location.
• Use a steady, moderate, forward and backward motion.
• Always work from back to front across a room to avoid stepping on wet carpet.
• Do not make the carpet too wet. Use no more than two sets of forward and
backward strokes while releasing solution. Always follow with dry strokes; the
more the better.
• Wipe any cleaning solution from woodwork and furniture to prevent any damage.
• Allow plenty of time for the carpet to dry and avoid walking on it until it is dry.
• Increased air circulation (open doors, fans, etc.) or the use of a dehumidifier will
help the carpet dry thoroughly and prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
• Vacuum the carpet thoroughly before cleaning it and after it has dried.
