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.

2. 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 furni-

ture 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 furni- ture 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.

3. 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 sup- plied 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.

5. 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 contain- ers 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.

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 envi- ronment. 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.
