Caution: never press the pump button
when the cleaner is being used for wet
vacuuming.
When not using the appliance for a fairly long
time, it is advisable to flush out the system with
plain water, no detergent added, before storing
the machine, to avoid blockages due shampoo
residues in the pump. Fill the tank with water
only, and operate the pump depressing the
spray trigger for a few minutes.
Wet vacuuming
This function will help you to cope with those
little emergencies such as:
- unclogging a drain or a blocked sinks, minor
floods (washing machines, dishwashers), spilt
liquids, defrosting refrigerators and freezers,
etc.
Make sure that the polyurethane foam filter
(35) is fitted on the motor housing (21) fig.2.
Fit the cleaning attachment most suited to the
type of operation to be performed onto either
the extension tube or directly onto the
handgrip. Use the crevice nozzle, multi-
purpose nozzle and the transparent wash-dry
attachments with or without squeegee (27).
Plug in your appliance and switch on by
depressing the on/off switch
Caution: never press the pump button
when the cleaner is being used for wet or
dry vacuuming.
Dry vacuuming
Make sure that the motor-protection paper bag
(37) or cloth bag (where provided) is fitted over
the motor housing (21). Secure the filter with
the special elastic ring (where provided) or an
ordinary elastic band (fig.21).
Cleaning hard floors
(ceramic tiles, fired clay tiles, marble, linoleum,
vinyl, etc.)
Fit the floor brush/wiper accessory (27) to the
large transparent wash/dry attachment sliding
it on from left to right (fig.18), and proceed as
described in the section dealing with textile
surfaces.
Cleaning upholstery
(armchairs, sofas, drapes, curtains, car
upholstery, etc.)
Use the small transparent “wash-dry”
attachment (28), fitting it directly onto the
handgrip and connecting the solution
dispenser (already attached to the small wash-
dry attachment) to its coupling located under
the handgrip (fig.19). Follow the steps
described in the section dealing with textile
surfaces.
Rinsing Operations
After extraction cleaning, to rinse the surface
previously treated with the detergent, rotate
selector (9) to the
position and press the
spray trigger (fig.20).
In this way, the surface is treated with water
only; by vacuuming either at the same time or
subsequently, all residues of shampoo solution
left on the surface will be removed.
