Important Safety Information

Please read this instruction manual carefully and keep in a safe place for future reference.

Do not leave the cleaner unattended when plugged in.
Unplug from the mains power supply when not in use, before filling, emptying or cleaning.
The cleaner is not a toy. Pay close attention when using it near children, pets and/or plants.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the cleaner.
Use the appliance only as described in this manual.
Only use commercially available carpet and upholstery cleaning fluids, this includes Swan’s Dirtmaster Carpet Detergent 250ml (SDMWDV250) and 1L (SDMWDV1000).
Do not use the product if it has a damaged power cord. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, have it checked and repaired by a qualified person before using it again.
Do not pull or carry the product by the power cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not use an extension cord or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
Do not unplug by pulling on the power cord. To unplug, pull on the plug, not the cord. Do not handle the plug or cleaner with wet hands or operate without shoes.
Do not put any objects into any of the openings. Do not use with any opening blocked.
Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
Keep your work area well lit.
Never turn the appliance onto its side when using it.
When the cleaner is turned off, residual water or cleaning fluid may leak out, it is therefore advised to store the cleaner on an old cloth when not in use.
Do not immerse the cleaner into water or any other liquids.
Always unplug the power cord from the electrical socket when filling the cleaner.
Never put de-scaling, aromatic or detergent products into the cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe to use.
Any repair work, including the replacement of the power cord must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the cleaner by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not use the cleaner as a conventional vacuum; small particles or dust can block suction channels and affect the cleaner’s efficiency.
Always make sure the cleaner is on a flat surface and there is no risk of it tipping over as water could leak out of the tanks.
Always turn off the cleaner and remove the plug from its socket before filling or emptying the water tanks.
Do not use excessive water on carpet or upholstery. For stubborn stains allow the area to dry completely before repeating the process.
This product has been designed for spot cleaning and not for large areas.

This carpet and upholstery cleaner is perfect for removing unwanted spots and stains on carpets around the home or on other small areas of fabric such as car seats, chairs and sofas.
Note: the carpet cleaner is designed to clean only small areas of carpet or fabric.

Before First Use

Carefully remove your appliance from the packaging and remove all packing materials.
To avoid danger, always keep packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.) away from children. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
Check that the main product, the accessories, the power cord and the plug are in good condition and show no signs of damage.

Instructions for Use

Preparing the upholstery or carpet to be cleaned

Vacuum the area fully; if possible, remove all furniture from the carpet area to be cleaned. If large pieces of furniture can’t be moved, place plastic sheeting around the base to protect it from any water damage to the legs.
Check the upholstery or carpets colour-fastness. Dip a piece of white fabric into the cleaning solution that you are using (see section “Preparing the Cleaner/Filling the Fresh Water Tank”) and carefully rub a hidden part of the area to be cleaned. If the fabric does not discolour, you can clean the surface safely with the chosen solution and cleaner. For multi-coloured surfaces test all colours for colour-fastness.

Preparing the cleaner/filling the freshwater tank

CAUTION! Only use commercially available carpet and upholstery cleaning fluids, this includes Swan’s Dirtmaster Carpet Detergent 250ml (SDMWDV250) and 1L (SDMWDV1000).

Do not use any high foaming cleaners as an excessive amount of foam impairs the function of the cleaner and can block the vent.

Hold the cleaner by the handle and release the freshwater tank by holding the 2 upper indentations and pulling until the tank comes off.
The refilling cap on the base of the clean water tank should be unscrewed and removed.
Fill the tank with the chosen cleaner and warm water to a (maximum of 40°C), following the ratio mixing levels for water to cleaning solution. It is advised to do this in a jug prior to filling the tank.
Fill the freshwater tank to the ‘Max’ level, replace the cap and mount the tank back onto the cleaner. Apply slight pressure and it will snap back into its location.

Cleaning carpet / upholstery

CAUTION! When the cleaner is turned off residual water or cleaning fluid may leak out, it is advised that you have a cloth ready during use to lay the cleaner on when not in use.

Plug the cleaner into an easily accessible socket close to the working area and turn on the power.
Push the on/off switch to I position.
Push the cleaner forward in a straight line on the carpet/ upholstery. To spray cleaning solution onto the area, press the spray button and make gentle forward and backward movements to work the solution into any stubborn stains.
Now go back over the treated area and the dirty water will be vacuumed up.
Repeat this slightly overlapping the area you have treated.
In the event of really stubborn stains, go over the area several times, allowing the area to dry between each clean.
When the dirty water tank fills to the ‘Max’ level mark, it needs to be emptied (see “Cleaning and Maintenance’’ section).
When you have finished cleaning, turn the cleaner off and remove the plug from the socket.

After Use

Clean up any water or cleaning solution that may have splashed onto other surfaces.

Do not sit or step on cleaned area until it dries completely.

When completely dry, use a standard vacuum with a brush adapter to clean the carpet or upholstery.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CAUTION! Do not use any chemical cleaners to clean the device, they may harm it. The water tanks must be emptied and rinsed out before the cleaner is put away.

Make sure the cleaner is switched off and the plug disconnected from the mains socket.
Empty the dirty water tank by firstly pushing the release button to remove it from the main unit.
Open the cap on the side of the tank and pour out the dirty water. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean warm water.
Empty any remaining clean water and solution from the clean water tank and rinse thoroughly with clean warm water.
Allow all parts to dry completely before storing.
When reattaching the dirty water tank, ensure that the two recesses on the bottom of the tank are engaged with the catches on the main unit. You should hear a click as it locks into place.
