Operation
Before you begin carpet washing
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the cleaner as a dry vacuum when set up in carpet washing mode.
NOTE:
Do not over saturate your carpet.
• Vacuum your carpets thoroughly.
• Test for colourfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden
area of your carpet, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and
check for colour removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If your carpet has more
than one colour, check all colours.
• When cleaning an entire room, move furniture out of the area to be cleaned. If the furniture is
too heavy to move, place aluminium foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood
finishes from staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
Helpful hints for washing carpet:
1. For heavy soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
2. Allow plenty of time to dry carpet thoroughly.
3. Try not to walk on carpet until it is completely dry.
4. After carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum the carpet using your vacuum cleaner in dry mode.
5. Before cleaning, determine where to start and end, making sure not to walk over previously
cleaned areas.
6. Thoroughly clean the dirty water tank and clean water tank after use with warm water
(max 40°C).
