BEFORE INITIAL USE

A cross-head screwdriver is required for assembly.

1. Insert the handle (1) into the opening of the container support (14) and align it so that the curved end of the handle points towards the back of the device. Fix the handle in place using the two screws that are supplied with the device.

1. Insert the fresh water container (2) into the container support. When you do this, make sure that the locking lugs on the fresh water container fit in the recesses in the container support. Press the fresh water container against the handle until you hear it engage.

The dirty water container (8) is already inserted in the main unit.

USE

Preparing the Carpet

1. Vacuum the carpet or upholstered furniture which is to be cleaned thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner. If possible, use a brush attachment to do this.
2. If possible, remove all furniture from the carpet. In the case of large items of furniture which cannot be moved to one side,

place plastic film below or around the feet and only remove it once the carpet has completely dried after it has been cleaned. The feet could be damaged by the moisture from the carpet.

1. Check the colourfastness of the carpet or upholstered furniture. Soak a piece of white fabric with the cleaning solution supplied (see the "Preparing the Device / Filling the Fresh Water Container" section) and rub it carefully on an inconspicuous spot on the carpet. If the white fabric does not become discoloured, the carpet or upholstered furniture can be cleaned with the device. In the case of carpets or upholstered furniture with several colours, test the fastness of each colour.

Preparing the Device / Filling the Fresh Water Container

Please Note!

Only ever pour the cleaning agent supplied with the device or standard carpet cleaning products for carpet cleaners into the fresh water container.
- Do not use any cleaning products that produce a lot of foam as excessive foaming impedes the functioning of the device.
Never operate the device without water.

1. Press the release lever of the fresh water container (15) upwards. The fresh water container (2) is released from the locking mechanism.

1. Remove the fresh water container from the device.

EN

1. Flip open the seal cap of the fresh water container (9) and pour in carpet cleaning agent. Note the dosing instructions for the cleaning agent when you do this.

1. Fill the fresh water container up to the Max mark with warm water (max. 40^ ). Close the seal cap again.
2. Insert the fresh water container into the container support (14) (see the "Before Initial Use" chapter).

Cleaning

Please Note!

The device should only be used if it has been fully and correctly assembled! Both the dirty water tank and the fresh water tank must be firmly closed and inserted!
- Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. The mains voltage must match the rating plate of the device.
Always switch off the device first before the plug is pulled out of the plug socket. One exception is when the device has fallen into water or in the event of a fault.
- Switch off the device before a water container is removed.
Make sure that the device does not tip over. The water from the water containers could spill out. To park the device, move the handle to the vertical position in which it engages.
- Do not wet the carpet or the upholstered furniture excessively.

If the device switches off during use, the built-in overheating protection has been activated. In this case, let the device cool down for approx. 60 minutes and then switch it on again using the On / Off switch.
After use, place the device down on a cloth as residual water may escape from the nozzles after it has been switched off.

Cleaning the Carpet

1. Decide where cleaning should start and where it should stop so that you do not step on the carpet which has already been cleaned. We recommend that right-handed people should start at the right-hand edge of the carpet, and left-handed people should start at the left-hand edge of the carpet.
2. Fully unwind the mains cable from the hook for winding up the cable (10, 11), insert it into the cable holder (16) and connect it to a plug socket.
3. Step on the pedal for tipping the handle (13) and tilt the handle (1) towards you.
4. Step on the On/Off switch (12) to switch on the device.
5. Roll the device to a corner of the carpet.
6. Slide the device forwards along the edge of the carpet and hold down the button for discharging the cleaning solution (17). This applies the solution to the carpet and brushes it in. Walk to the side of the device as you do this. Do not tread on the wet carpet! Once you have reached the other end of the carpet, let go of the button.
7. Pull the device backwards along the same strip. The dirty water will be sucked up.
8. Start the next strip slightly overlapping the strip of carpet that has just been cleaned. Work up to the other edge of the carpet with even movements forwards and backwards. If you find more

stubborn patches of dirt, go over a strip several times if necessary.

1. When the dirty water container (8) is filled to the Max marking, it must be emptied (see the "After Use" chapter, "Cleaning the Water Containers" section).
2. When the dirty water container is to be emptied, the fresh water container (2) is to be topped up or the cleaning is to be finished, place the device on the towel or cloth provided. Switch off the device by stepping on the On / Off switch, and move the handle to a vertical position.
3. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.

Cleaning Upholstered Furniture

1. Use the upholstery nozzle for cleaning upholstered furniture. To do this, first flip up the closure cap of the hose connection (7), place the end of the hose onto the connection and press this down firmly. You must feel it engage.

1. Step on the On/Off switch (12) to switch on the device.
2. Pull the upholstery nozzle along the edge of the upholstered furniture and hold down the button for dispensing the cleaning solution on the handle of the upholstery nozzle (A). Let go of the button (A) at the other end of the strip.

1. Pull the upholstery nozzle over the same strip. The dirty water will be sucked up.

2. Continue in the same way as with carpet cleaning (see the "Use" chapter, "Cleaning the Carpet" section).

AFTER USE

• Empty both water containers after each use.
• Allow the freshly cleaned surfaces to dry completely.
  If possible, do not tread on the carpet while it is still damp. If it has to be trodden on, put down white or colourfast towels and tread on them.
• If cleaning solution has got onto wooden floors or furniture, wipe it away.
  Vacuum the dry carpet or upholstered furniture with a vacuum cleaner. If possible, use a brush attachment to do this.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled.

The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to special collection and return systems.

Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical Equipment Act so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. Businesses which market electrical and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices.

Waste prevention makes an even more valuable contribution to protecting the environment. This means if possible, as well as continuing to use or repair, passing it on to another user also represents an ecologically beneficial alternative to disposal.
