IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this brush machine has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Connect only to the outlet type specified on the serial number plate underneath the machine.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

1. Do not leave the brush machine while plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
2. Do not use it outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not use near small children or pets. Do not allow it to be used as a toy. Use of this product by children should always be supervised by an adult.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer-recommended attachments.
5. Do not use a damaged cord or plug. If the brush machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a SEBO service center.

25. Do not place the brush head over the fringes on a carpet or rug.
26. Store the brush machine in a dry place at room temperature. When the machine is not in use, you should wrap the cord on the cable hooks.
27. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

WARNING!
The quality, condition, coating, texture, age, and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary. Therefore, machines with rotating brushes, including your SEBO duo brush machine, may damage some floor coverings or surfaces. Berber carpets, long shag, specialty, and delicate or hand-woven carpets are particularly vulnerable to damage by rotating brushes. Always consult the materials supplied by your floor’s manufacturer for information on proper upkeep and cleaning. To ensure that your new SEBO duo brush machine is compatible with your floor coverings, please test the duo-P cleaner and brush machine on each type of carpeting in a small inconspicuous area to determine if any damage occurs. If damage occurs, stop using the brush machine and powder immediately!

An operating machine should not stand stationary on the floor for inappropriate periods. Damage could occur. Do not run the machine on flooring not covered by carpet.

SEBO Duo Carpet Cleaning System Product Features

Your SEBO duo Cleaning System is formulated to deep clean your entire carpet or spot clean stubborn stains without soaking your carpet. Dry cleaning is safer for most carpets – it will not shrink the carpet or cause water staining if applied unevenly. SEBO duo-P Cleaning Powder leaves no detergent residue to cause your carpet to resoil, and the carpet can be used immediately after cleaning. Because this is a DRY cleaning process, the SEBO duo-PCleaning Powder will not promote the growth of mold and fungus in your carpet and pad that wet extraction systems may cause. In addition, the GAF allergy research center in Germany found in a long-term test that, six months after a single cleaning with duo-P, seven out of ten carpets remained free of dust mite allergens.

The Advantages of using the SEBO Duo Cleaning System are:

• No detergent residue
• Alleviates house dust allergies
• Easy spot cleaning
• A built-in fiber protector helps to protect your carpet against future stains and soil
• No shrinkage or mildew
• No need to move furniture
• Cleans most types of carpets
• Immediate use of the carpet

How it Works:

• The SEBO duo-P Cleaning Powder is made up of granules that are moistened with detergent and are environmentally friendly and safe to use. When the granules are worked into the carpet fiber, soil, and stains are lifted out of the carpet by the duo-P powder. The duo Brush Machine lifts the carpet pile ensuring all surfaces of the fiber are cleaned, leaving your carpet revived and softer. After vacuuming, the duo-P powder is removed, and your carpet is left clean, dry, and ready for use.
• An added advantage in using duo-P Cleaning Powder on your carpet is that once applied, a built-in fiber protector will help to protect against future damage from soiling or staining.

The duo-P Cleaning Powder:

• Refill boxes are available as a single (1.1 lb.) or a multiple with five (1.1 lb each) packs. Each single pack can cover up to 250 square feet of carpet.
• The SEBO duo-P Clean Box contains a 1.1 lb. pack in an environmentally friendly refillable container, and the underside of the lid has a built-in brush for spot cleaning! When you have used the contents, you can replace the inner bag with an inexpensive refill pack of duo-P Cleaning Powder.
• The SEBO duo Accessory Brush is perfect for cleaning small areas such as entryways and stairs.

How to use the duo Cleaning System

To Clean the Entire Carpet – Figures 1, 2 & 5

• First, vacuum your carpet prior to applying duo-P Powder. Then, spread duo-P Cleaning Powder evenly over the carpet. This can be done by spreading the powder directly out of the bag, or by spreading the powder by hand. Distribute the powder lightly, but evenly, over the area to be cleaned (figure 1). You need not use an excessive amount of powder for effective cleaning.
• Work the powder into the carpet using the SEBO duo Brush Machine, which opens the carpet pile enabling the duo-P powder to clean around each separate fiber (figure 2).
• Once the duo-P powder has absorbed all of the dirt and the area is dry to the touch (approximately 30 minutes), simply vacuum the area thoroughly (figure 5).

To Spot Clean Stains – Figures 3, 4 & 5

• Vacuum any loose dirt or debris from the area. If the soiled area is wet, use white paper towels to absorb all moisture from the carpet. This will prevent the powder from “caking up” on the carpet and the brush. Then, spread a small amount of duo-P powder onto the soiled area.
• Gently work the powder into the carpet using the spot cleaning brush (page 5, #8), the brush provided with the SEBO Clean Box (figure 3), or the accessory brush (figure 4). Older or more stubborn stains may require further treatments. Simply repeat the process until the stain is completely removed.
• Once the duo-P powder has absorbed all of the dirt and the area is dry to the touch (approximately 30 minutes), simply vacuum the area thoroughly (figure 5).

Important Product Tips:

• For best results, vacuum the carpet before applying duo-P powder.
• Check a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet for colorfastness.
• Absorb any moisture from the carpet using white paper towels before applying duo-P powder.
• Open the window to speed drying.
• Reseal the package after opening to maintain moisture. To ensure the longer life of the powder, seal all opened packages inside of a zip-lock bag.
• Only moist powder will effectively clean. If powder becomes dry before it is used (e.g. powder left in an opened package), it will no longer work.
• Before using the SEBO duo-P Powder on your carpets, please read all instructions and warnings provided with the powder and all the instructions and warnings in this manual.
• Limited suitability for Berber and needle punch carpets.
• Use caution if cleaning Berber or looped pile carpeting with the brushing machine or when using hand brushes. Test an inconspicuous area to determine suitability. Do not use on hand-woven or dyed carpeting. Check with the carpeting manufacturer for approved cleaning methods.

Maintenance

Always unplug the brush machine from the outlet before dismantling any part of the machine!

Removing the Brushes to Change or Clean – Figures 7 & 8

Remove the brushes (6), by unscrewing the two screws (17) at the end of each brush from the bearing block (18). Do not remove the screws that are recessed. Push the top of the brush and the block forward at the same time. Take the block off the brush, then, lift the brush upwards out of the brush housing.

Cleaning the Brushes
The brushes must be removed from the machine to be thoroughly cleaned. See the instructions above for removing the brushes. Clean by running your SEBO vacuum’s suction hose, with a crevice tool attached, up and down each brush to remove dirt and powder. Some carpet fibers, dirt, and debris may require removal by hand. Replace the brushes – see instruc-tions below.
A cursory cleaning of the brushes may be done without removing them, by unplugging the machine, turning the brush rollers upright, and using your vacuum’s suction hose, with a crevice tool attached, to remove the loose dirt or powder.

Replacing the Brushes – Figures 8 & 9

To replace each brush, insert the end with the slots into the housing and locate the slots over the drive cog (19) by turning the brush. Push the brush forward slightly to enable the bear-ing block (18) to be replaced, then push the block back into place in the brush housing and replace the two screws (17).
