Section 1 ‘Safety Instructions’. Reminder: Remove plug
from power supply before opening unit. DO NOT vacuum
solvents, explosives, inflammable and/or hazardous
liquids such as petrol, oil, spirits, paint, thinners, acids
etc. Use of an incorrect filter will invalidate your warranty.
8.1
Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply. Make
sure the main drum (19) is clean and free from dust and dirt.
8.2a
For wet vacuum cleaning the foam filter (9) must be used.
8.2b
When using the foam filter (9) first remove any cartridge filter (8)
fitted. Ensure the foam filter (9) is clean and dry. Place the foam
filter (9) over the filter cage and adjust carefully.

8.7
After use, empty the main drum (19) and dry.
WARNING! The main drum (19) is not designed for liquid
storage. Always empty liquids after use. Never store the
cleaner with liquid in the main drum (19).
8.8
To vacuum large quantities of liquid, from a sink or tank etc.,
do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap
at the top of the nozzle opening to allow an air inflow. The
machine is fitted with a float valve which blocks the suction
action when the tank has reached its maximum capacity. The
user will notice an increase in motor noise. When this happens,
turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, remove
cap from the drainage outlet (7) on the main drum and empty the
liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming,
refit the drainage outlet cap (7) and proceed. After wet
vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power
supply. Empty the main drum (19) from the drainage outlet (7)
and clean/dry the inside and outside before storage.

9. CARPET/UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
9.1 SET-UP
Water, mixed with a suitable carpet detergent solution, is
pumped deep into the fibres of the carpet via the detergent
application nozzle. The dirty liquid is then sucked back into
the main drum (19) along with the dirt and grime dislodged
by the cleaning solution. Water can be pumped up to 2
metres above the machine so that stairs may also be
cleaned.
WARNING!
Ensure you read, understand and apply Section
1 'Safety Instructions'.
Reminder:
DO NOT
vacuum hazardous substances.
9.1.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.
9.1.2 Fit the foam filter (9).
9.1.3 Reposition the top section (18) onto the main drum (19) and
clip in place.
9.1.4 Ensure that the detergent solution has been mixed with the
recommended proportion of water and pour it into the
detergent tank (6).
9.1.5 Plug the connector on the end of the detergent tank
connecting hose (5) into the detergent inlet coupling on the
rear of the top section (18).
9.1.6 Ensure that the transparent detergent delivery tube is fitted
around the suction hose (13).
9.1.7 Screw the large threaded connector on the end of the suction
hose (13) to the suction hose inlet (4).
9.1.8 Push the connector on the end of the detergent delivery tube
into the detergent pipe coupling (3) on the front of the top
section (18).
9.1.9 Twist and lock the nozzle (10) onto the free end of the suction
hose (13). Twist and lock the detergent delivery tube to the
nozzle (10). Fit the carpet lance (17) to the stainless steel
extension tube (12) and attach the stainless steel extension
tube (12) to the nozzle (10). Connect the detergent delivery
tube from the carpet lance (17) to the nozzle (10). The grey
fitting is a push and twist fit.
9.1.10 The spraying nozzle at the other end of the delivery tube is a
push fit into the mounting on the underside of the carpet
lance. There is a notch in the nozzle which must fit onto a
spigot in the lance mounting to ensure that the nozzle outlet is
the right way round. To clean fabrics and upholstery clip the
spray nozzle with the short tube into the underside of the
hand held lance (11). Push the assembled hand held lance
(11) onto the nozzle (10). Note: The stainless steel extension
tube (12) is not used.
9.1.11 Select the detergent mode , to operate the machine for
detergent application only.
Select both the detergent mode and vacuum mode for
simultaneous detergent application and dirty liquid suction.
9.2 CARPET/UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
Vacuum the carpet/upholstery thoroughly before washing it.
For carpet cleaning we recommend you first remove all
furniture from the room to be cleaned, or move it away from
the cleaning area. Clean the whole carpet systematically in
squares of approximately 1.5m each. This avoids walking over
the cleaned carpet until it is completely dry.
9.2.1 Start furthest away from the doorway to the room, extend the
hose and work backwards.
9.2.2 Select detergent mode to spray detergent into the
area to be cleaned.
9.2.3 Pull the carpet lance (17) back towards you, in lengths of
approx 1.5m. Refill the detergent tank (6) if the fluid spray
stops.
9.2.4 Switch off and return to where you started.
9.2.5 Select the vacuum mode to suck up the dirty solution
and repeat the previous pattern of strokes. Apply more
detergent in any particularly dirty area. The dirty solution
is visible as it is sucked up through the carpet lance (17). Stop
vacuuming when there is no more dirty fluid visible.
9.2.6 Do not walk over any newly cleaned area until it is completely
dry.
9.2.7 The hand held lance (11) is ideal for cleaning sofas, chairs,
stairs and car interiors.
