Frequently Asked Questions - Conga 3000 Carpetspot Clean Max CECOTEC

How to prepare the device for stain cleaning?

Fill the clean water tank with hot water (max 60°C) and add the recommended cleaning solution. Plug the device into an earthed outlet. Press the trigger to spray the solution onto the stain, then use the suction to extract the dirty water.

Which cleaning solution should I use?

Use a cleaning solution specially designed for spot cleaner vacuums, or a mild non-foaming product. Never use solvents or flammable products.

How to clean the tanks after use?

Empty the dirty water tank, rinse it with clean water, and let it dry. Do the same with the clean water tank if you have used a solution. Also clean the filter.

What to do if the suction is weak?

Check that the dirty water tank is not full, that the nozzles are not clogged, and that the filters are clean. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

Can I use the device on all types of carpets?

It is ideal for rugs and carpets, but avoid delicate fabrics like silk. Always test on a discreet area. For upholstery, use the appropriate accessory.

How to descale the device?

Mix water and white vinegar (1/3) and circulate it through the system without vacuuming. Then rinse with clean water.

What does the indicator light on the device mean?

The indicator light can indicate the operating status. If the light flashes red, this may signal overheating or a tank problem. Check the manual or contact after-sales service.

How to store the cable?

Wind the cable around the hooks provided on the device or use an additional cable reel if available. Never pull on the cable.

Can I use cleaning products for tanks?

It is better to use products specially formulated for this type of device. Avoid acids or corrosive products that could damage the seals.

What to do in case of a water leak?

Check that the tanks are properly locked and that the seals are not damaged. Turn off the device immediately and unplug it before any inspection.

ENGLISH

or apply it directly to the stain. Allow the solution to penetrate the dirt for more effective suction.

• Do not use washing-up liquid in the clean water tank.
• When using low-foaming detergent, always perform a patch test first to check for any risk of discolouration or other adverse effects.
• Do not use thinners, volatile oils, chlorine bleach or flammable solvents.

• Using these products may cause discolouration, malfunction and fire hazards.

• Apply low-foaming cleaning detergent to the carpet or soiled surface and use the brush to treat the stain.

Note: For correct dosage and application of the low-foaming cleaning detergent, carefully read the manufacturer's instructions.

1. Apply the detergent and scrub the stain.
2. Spray water over the stain until thoroughly saturated. When the dirt begins to surface, suction the dirty water by pressing and pulling the nozzle.
3. For better stain removal, use warm water below 40° C.
