cleaning detergent to clean stubborn stains. Mix the water and detergent
directly in the clean water tank following the detergent guidelines ensuring
the max line is not exceeded.

use in this cleaner.
OPERATING YOUR SPOT & STAIN CLEANER

flooring/surface and attach this to the hose handle.
Unwrap the power cord and plug into the mains. Switch
the cleaner on using the power ON/OFF button.
Press the water release button to spray water (and
detergent) onto the surface.
Use the brush to agitate stubborn stains.
For spills always pick up the excess liquid before
using water or solution.
Release the button to stop spraying. Tilt the wash
tool forward so the brushes are not in contact with the surface, to ensure the
suction inlet collects the dirty water on the backward stroke.
Power off after cleaning. Wrap the hose around the
base and lock in the hook.
Note: Clean the dirty water tank after every use to avoid unpleasant
smells.
IMPORTANT: Over or under tilting the hand tool may result in poor water
pick up.
CLEANING CARE AND MAINTENANCE

problems occurring follow this guide.
Always carry out cleaning when the product has been switched off for a short
period of time.
CAUTION! never clean the cleaner or any parts of it whilst the plug is
switched on at the mains.
This appliance can be cleaned by wiping a damp soft cloth to keep the outside
free of dirt including dust. Use a dry cloth to clean the power cord.

Empty the dirty water tank after every use or when the water
level reaches the max fill line. The float inside will prevent suction if the

liquids or other chemicals.
Thoroughly wash and dry the inside of the tank and refit
