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 with the cleaning solution
• For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary
1. Plug the mains cord (16) into a mains socket and turn the product on by setting
the on/off switch 5 to the ON position (I)
2. Step on the handle top release pedal (17) to lower the handle (1) into the
cleaning position (see diagram)
3. While pressing the solution release trigger (2), pull the product in a backwards
direction towards you. This will deliver clean water down to the carpet.
4. Release the solution release trigger and push the product forward in the same
path to remove the dirty cleaning solution from the carpet
5. Repeat steps 3–4 to clean other parts of the carpet or heavily soiled areas.
6. When cleaning is done, turn the product off by setting the on/off switch to the
OFF position (O)
7. Push the handle forward until it is positioned upright and locked into place
8. Unplug the product and wrap the mains cord around the cord hooks (14)

TIPS FOR CARPET CLEANING
• Use the carrying handle (15) to lift up the product and move it to the desired
cleaning location
• Do not run the product over the mains cord (16) by holding any excess cord in
your freehand while cleaning
• Use a steady, moderate, forwards and backwards 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 forwards and
backwards strokes while releasing the carpet cleaning solution. Always follow
with dry strokes; the more dry strokes 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 mould or mildew
• If the carpet is not dry and the furniture must be placed back in the room, use
plastic or foil under the furniture to prevent staining the carpet
• Vacuum the carpet thoroughly before cleaning it and after it has dried
