HOW TO 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.

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

CAUTION: 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.

1. Hold the handle of the clean water tank and press "Clean Water Tank Release". Tilt the clean water tank away from the carpet washer and remove.

1. Unscrew the measuring cap from the under side of the clean water tank (don't try to remove the orange part. That is a handle, not a lid).
