Storing the Appliance

Illustration I

Place the appliance in a dry room and secure it from unauthorized use.

Cleaning methods

Normal soiling

Spray and suction off detergent solution in one work cycle.

Note: Repeated suctioning without spraying will shorten the drying time.

Strong soiling or stains

Apply detergent solution with suction turbine turned off and soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
Clean the surface just like with normal soiling.
In order to further improve the cleaning result, the surface can be recleaned using clear, warm water.

Upholstery cleaning

Attach hand nozzle (optional accessory) instead of the floor nozzle.
With sensitive materials, use less detergent and spray the surface at a distance of approx. 200 mm. Then simply vacuum off.

Cleaning tips

Highly soiled spots should be presoaked and the detergent solution should soak 5 to 10 minutes.
Always work from the light to the shade(from the window to the door).
Always work from the cleaned to the uncleaned surface.
The more sensitive the surface (oriental rugs, berbers, upholstery material) the lower the cleaning solution concentration should be.
Rugs with jute backing can shrink if too much water is used and can bleed colours.
Brush high-fiber rugs in the direction of the weave after cleaning (using a fiber brush or a scrubber).
Water-proofing the fabric using Care Tex RM 762 after the 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.
When cleaning previously shampooed carpets, foam will be generated in the dirt water reservoir. In such a case add Foam ex RM 761 to the dirt water reservoir.
