How to clean carpets
When filling bottle or
storing unit, set
dial to:

pulled up appears clean.
18. Continue passes without pressing the trigger
until you can’t see any more water being
pulled up.
NOTE: Both the SmartMix
®

water tank must have liquid in
them in order for the machine to
spray. If one tank is empty the
machine will not apply either
cleaning solution or water only.
19. After cleaning, you may want to turn the
SmartMix
®

Water Only

carpeting a final rinse. This will insure
thorough removal of embedded dirt loosened
by the cleaning solution.
20. When the cleaning job is complete refer to
the
Maintenance/Putting it Away
section
for machine cleanup and storage
instructions, page 14.
