OPERATION
FILLING THE WATER SOLUTION TANK
Risk of injury! Improper handling of the product may cause injury. Always
unplug the product before filling the water solution tank. Avoid prolonged
skin contact with cleaning solutions. Keep carpet cleaning solutions out of
the reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Risk of damage! Using the product without the water solution tank in place or with a wrong solution may damage the product. Always make sure that the water solution tank is properly in place before using the product. Do not use any solvents, cleaners with strong acidic or strong alkali formulas, or any type of cleaning solution not specifically for use in carpet cleaning machines.
- Only use a suitable (low-foaming) carpet cleaning solution. Using incorrect solutions may cause excess foaming, which will prevent the product from working effectively.

- Unplug the product.
- Lift up the water solution tank release lever 12 and then remove the water solution tank 11 from the product.
- Unscrew and then remove the water solution tank cap 3 from the water solution tank.
- Following the instructions on the bottle, add the cleaning solution and then fill the water solution tank with warm tap water (max. 40°C). Do not fill over the maximum filling line (FULL) 4.
- Replace the water solution tank cap.
- Place the water solution tank back into position by pushing it down until it clicks into place.
Repeat the steps above (except step 4) to empty the water solution tank after use and before storage.
CLEANING A CARPET
Before cleaning, determine where to start and stop, making sure you will not
walk over previously cleaned areas.
- Do not oversaturate the carpet with a cleaning solution.
- For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
- Plug the mains cord 16 into a mains socket and turn the product on by setting the on/off switch 5 to the ON position.
- Step on the handle release pedal 17 to lower the handle 1 into the cleaning position.
- While pressing the solution release trigger 2, pull the product in a backward direction toward you.
- Release the solution release trigger and push the product forward in the same path to remove the dirty cleaning solution from the carpet.
- Repeat steps 3–4 to clean other parts of the carpet or heavily soiled areas.
- When cleaning is done, turn the product off by setting the on/off switch to the OFF position.
- Push the handle forward until it is positioned upright and locked into place.
- Unplug the product and wrap the mains cord around the cord hooks.
TIPS FOR CARPET CLEANING
- Use the carrying handle 15 to lift up the product and move it to the desired cleaning location.
- Do not run the product over the mains cord 16 by holding any excess cord in your free hand while cleaning.
- Use a steady, moderate, forward, and backward motion. Always work from back to front across a room to avoid stepping on wet carpet.
- Do not make the carpet too wet. Use no more than two sets of forward and backward strokes while releasing the carpet cleaning solution. Always follow with dry strokes; the more dry strokes the better.
- Wipe any cleaning solution from woodwork and furniture to prevent any damage.
- Allow plenty of time for the carpet to dry and avoid walking on it until it is dry. Increased air circulation (open doors, fans, etc.) or the use of a dehumidifier will help the carpet dry thoroughly and prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
- Vacuum the carpet thoroughly before cleaning it and after it has dried.
EMPTYING THE DIRTY WATER TANK
Risk of injury! Improper handling of the product may cause injury. Always
unplug the product before emptying the dirty water tank.
An automatic shut-off device prevents the product from picking up more dirty
water than the dirty water tank can hold. You will know the dirty water tank
needs to be emptied when:
- the motor sound rises in pitch,
- the dirty solution has reached the FULL line 6 in the dirty water tank.
- Unplug the product.
- Unlock the dirty water tank 7 by pressing the dirty water tank locking latch 10 and lifting up the dirty water tank handle 9 at the same time. Remove the dirty water tank from the product.
- Open the dirty water tank cap 19 by turning it anticlockwise, so the grip points to the word “unlock”.
- Empty the dirty water tank, replace the dirty water tank cap, and turn it to the “lock” position. Then place the dirty water tank back into the product.
- Push the dirty water tank handle down until the dirty water tank locking latch clicks into place.
