Note
Warm water (max. 50°C) will increase the cleaning effect.
Only use detergent pump while operating. Avoid dry runs as well as unnecessary pressure buildup (dynamic pressure) as much as possible.
If there is a risk of overheating, the thermal protection switch shuts off the detergent pump. After cooling down (20 - 30 min), the pump is ready for use again.
Fill the fresh water reservoir

Cleaning tips/mode of operation
- Always work from the light to the shade (from the window to the door).
- Always work from the cleaned to the uncleaned surface.
– Carpets with jute backing can shrink and colours may fade if too much water is used. - Brush high-fiber rugs in the direction of the weave after cleaning (using a fiber brush or a scrubber).
- Impregnating the fabric using the detergent Care Tex RM 762 after wet cleaning prevents a quick resoiling of the textile surface.
- Do not step on cleaned surfaces until they have dried and do not place furniture on them to avoid pressure spots or rust stains.
