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 fi lm 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.EN 20

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 furni- ture 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 clean- ing 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.

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-hand- ed 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. Cleaning solution may still escape from the device even after it has been switched off. Therefore have a towel or cloth ready on which the device can be placed down after use.

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 an easily accessible plug socket whose main voltage matches the technical data of the device.

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 back- wards. If you fi nd more stubborn patches of dirt, go over a strip several times if nec- essary.
