Preparing to use
1
Ensure that the shampooing attachments
have been correctly assembled, as
described above.
2
Check that there is water and cleaning
solution in the clean water tank.
3
Remove furniture from the room to
be cleaned, or move it away from the
cleaning area.
4
Position the shampoo nozzle at a point
furthest away from the vacuum cleaner
where you intend to begin cleaning.
5
Plug in and press the switch marked
and then the switch marked
.
6
Squeeze the trigger towards the curved

nozzle backwards.
Cleaning tips
•
Cover the whole carpet with systematic
stripes, similar to mowing the lawn
P
.
Position the vacuum cleaner near the
doorway to the room, extend the hose
fully and work backwards towards the
doorway. This avoids walking over the
cleaned carpet until drying is complete.
• For particularly dirty patches, move the
shampoo nozzle backwards and forwards
over the area so that the brush in the
shampoo nozzle scrubs the carpet.
• At the end of each stroke release the
trigger whilst pulling the shampoo nozzle
a further short distance.
• Avoid over wetting and, if necessary, pass
over the area using suction only. The
amount of liquid being collected can be
observed through the transparent
shampoo nozzle.
• For heavily soiled areas, it is advisable to
repeat the cleaning process.
• Do not walk over newly cleaned carpet
until it is fully dry.
• Do not replace furniture until the carpet is
completely dry.
Upholstery
shampoo nozzle
The optional upholstery shampoo nozzle
is available as an accessory and is ideal for
cleaning sofas, chairs, stairs and car
interiors.
It is attached directly onto the end of the
curved fitting and the shampoo tube from
the trigger is fixed directly onto the nozzle at
the back in the same way as the floor nozzle
R
.
Shampooing hard
floors
Hard floors such as tiles, stone, etc. can
be shampooed using the optional shampoo
nozzle adaptor. This adaptor connects to the
base of the shampoo nozzle
S
. Hard floor
can then be shampooed using the same
technique as for cleaning carpets. Note: the
brush in the shampoo nozzle will not work
when the adaptor is in position. However, the
squeegee blades can be used in a scrubbing
action for heavy stains.
Emptying
It is advisable to empty the dirty solution
after each tankful of water and cleaning
solution has been used.
1
Switch off the machine and remove the
plug from the mains.
2
Lift up the hose so that any dirty water
remaining will drain back into the waste
tank.
3
Remove the hose end from waste tank.
4
Remove the motor housing and lift out
the bucket by the handle.
5
After emptying, refit the bucket and
reassemble the machine.
