3. EXTRACTION
CLEANING
With PENTAVAP you can use cold water to
gently clean floors and fabrics, hot water for
tough dirt, and a powerful steam jet to sanitize
all surfaces.
CAUTION: Make sure that all the fabrics and
surfaces to be cleaned are colour-fast and
sturdy enough for extraction cleaning. If in
doubt, spot-test in an inconspicuous area
and wait until completely dry before
checking the results.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If the fabric has
previously been treated with a shampoo
different from the product supplied with this
appliance, excessive foam may form inside the
dirty-water tank. If the foam should begin to
overflow and leak out, switch off your cleaner
and empty the dirty-water tank. Always use the
original no-foam shampoo.
Proceed to set up your PENTAVAP as
described in Sect. 2 (wet vacuum).
GETTING THE EXTERNAL TANK READY
FOR EXTRACTION CLEANING
The external unit (6) has two tanks, one
containing the detergent solution (water and
shampoo) for cleaning with water, the other
filled with clean water for rinsing or steam
cleaning.
Disconnect the solution injection system (5) and
remove the solution tank lifting it out by its
handle (fig. A).
Fill the tank from the port marked with the tap
symbol with plain water until the Max level on
the water gauge is reached (fig. B).
Fill the tank with the tap + shampoo symbol on
the cover (approx. 3 litre capacity) with water
until the left-hand-side water level ball in the
water level
gauge reaches
notch no.9, then
add shampoo to
fill. The ball
should now
reach the MAX
notch.
NOTE: this proportion applies when using
the original shampoo. The manufacturer
disclaims any liability for damage to rugs,
carpets, chairs, upholstery, etc., resulting
from the use of detergents other than those
provided with the appliance.
Close the port
hatches,
reattach the
removable tank,
and connect the
solution
injection system
(5) by firmly
pressing in
place
(fig. C).
