Cleaning tips/mode of operation

• Always work from the light to the shade (from the window to the door).
• Always work from the cleaned to the uncleaned surface.
• Rugs with jute backing can shrink if too much water is used and can bleed colors.
• 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 re-soiling 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.

Cleaning methods

Light/normal contamination

→ Turn on suction and spraying (a position I).
→ Spray and simultaneously suction off the detergent solution in one work cycle.
→ Switch off the spray switch and suction off the remaining cleaning solution.
→ After cleaning the carpets, reclean them using clear, warm water and waterproof if needed.

Heavy soiling or stains
→ Switch on sprayer (position I).
→ Apply detergent solution and allow to react for 5 minutes (vacuuming is switched off).
→ Clean the surface just like you would with light/normal soiling.
→ After cleaning the carpets, reclean them using clear, warm water and waterproof if needed.

End wet cleaning process

→ Rinse the spray tubes in the appliance as follows: Fill the detergent container with about 1 liter of clear water. Hold the nozzle above the drain, and switch on the spraying pump until the clear water has been consumed.

Dry vacuum cleaning
