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. Press the release lever of the fresh water container (15) upwards. The fresh water container (2) is released from the locking mechanism.
2. Remove the fresh water container [2] from the device.
3. Flip open the seal cap of the fresh water container (9) and pour in carpet cleaning agent. Note the dosing instructions for the cleaning agent when you do this. Typically 50ml of solution to 500ml of water. It is important to put the water in first, then add the solution. Then give the tank a shake to mix it.
4. Fill the fresh water container (2) up to the Max mark with warm water (max. 40° C). Close the seal cap again.
5. Insert the fresh water container (2) into the container support (14) [see the "Before Initial Use" chapter].

CLEANING

ATTENTION

• Never leave the device switched on when it is unsupervised.
• Switch off the device before a water container is removed.
• Make sure that the device does not tip over. The water from the water containers 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.

Cleaning the Carpet

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-handed 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.
3. Step on the pedal for tipping the handle (13) and tilt the handle (3) towards you.
4. Step on the On/Off switch (12) to switch on the device.
5. Roll the device to a corner of the carpet.
6. Slide the device forwards along the edge of the carpet and hold down the button for discharging the cleaning solution [17]. This applies the solution to the carpet and brushes it in. Walk to the side of the device as you do this. Do not tread on the wet carpet! Once you have reached the other end of the carpet, let go of the button.
7. Pull the device backwards along the same strip. The dirty water will be sucked up.
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 find more stubborn patches of dirt, go over a strip several times if necessary.
9. Move slowly to give the machine a chance to do its work. About half the speed of a vacuum cleaner
10. When the dirty water container [8] is filled to the Max marking, it must be emptied (see the "After Use" chapter, "Cleaning the Water Containers" section).
11. When the dirty water container [8] is to be emptied, the fresh water container [2] is to be topped up or the cleaning is to be finished, place the device on the towel or cloth provided. Switch off the device by stepping on the On / Off switch [12], and move the handle [1] to a vertical position.
12. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.

CLEANING

1. Use the upholstery nozzle for cleaning upholstered furniture. To do this, first flip up the closure cap of the hose connection [7], place the end of the hose onto the connection and press this down firmly until you feel it engage.

2 Step on the On/Off switch [12] to switch on the device.

3. Continue in the same way as with carpet cleaning (see the "Use" chapter, "Cleaning the Carpet" section).

After Use

• Empty both water containers after each use.
- Allow the freshly cleaned surfaces to dry completely.
- If possible, do not tread on the carpet while it is still damp. If it has to be trodden on, put down white or colourfast towels and tread on them.
