upholstered furniture, automobile interiors, etc. After dry cleanups, empty and clean the
Dirt/Liquid container and the Deflector before picking up liquid or wet spills.

surfaces like counter and glass tops, insert the Squeegee & Uphoistery Brush into the Suction
Nozzle. Pull the squeegee side through the liquid for cleanup while vacuuming.
The liquid capacity of the Dirt/Liquid Container is 6 oz. (175mL), about half a standard soda/beer

Dirt/Liquid Container is full when the liquid level is about 3 inches up from the suction end.
After liquid cleanups, empty the Dirt/Liquid Container and thoroughly clean the Dirt/ Liquid
Container, Liquid Deflector, Filter Bracket, and Filter to prevent the formation of mold and mildew.
