Assembling the Device A cross-head screwdriver is required for assembly.

1. Plug the handle (13) onto the handle pole (12) (Picture A). The handle engages in

the correct position.

2. Screw one of the screws that is supplied with the device into the thread on the back

of the handle and use a cross-head screwdriver to tighten it (Picture B).

3. Insert the fresh water container (5) into the back of the basic unit (Picture C). It must

1. Vacuum the carpet or upholstered furniture which is to be cleaned thoroughly with a

vacuum cleaner. To do this, use a brush attachment if possible.

2. Remove all furniture from the carpet if possible. 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.

3. Check the colourfastness of the carpet or upholstered furniture. Soak a piece

of white fabric with the cleaning solution supplied (see “Filling the Fresh Water Con- tainer”) 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.EN 16 Filling the Fresh Water Container PLEASE NOTE! ■ Never operate the device without water. ■ 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.
