Cleaning carpet and carpeted stairs

When this happens, turn cleaner off and empty recovery tank through the pour spout before continuing use.

NOTE: Check recovery tank often. Empty tank when it appears full even if the automatic shut-off has not engaged.

Check clean solution tank also; it may need to be refilled.

With dry hands, plug cleaner into a properly grounded outlet and turn cleaner ON.

To prevent cleaner from falling, use extra caution when cleaning on stairs.

With cleaner placed on a stable surface, pre-spray a small area of carpet or carpeted stair by holding the nozzle about one inch above the carpet and push it forward while pressing the trigger (equals one wet stroke).

Position nozzle at the edge of the carpet area or against the riser and slightly press nozzle into carpet pile. Press the trigger and pull the nozzle slowly over the carpet (second wet stroke). Release trigger at end of stroke.

The built-in brush on the nozzle can help provide the scrubbing action some spots may need for removal. Without pressing trigger, scub the spot with the nozzle using a back and forth motion.

➘

Lift nozzle, and position it at the edge of the carpet area or against the riser. Pull nozzle slowly over carpet without pressing trigger (dry stroke).

It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above. End with more dry strokes to aid in faster drying of carpet.

Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help prevent streaking.

To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet strokes over any one area. Always end with dry strokes.

NOTE: Check the recovery tank for fullness often. Empty tank if it appears full even if automatic shut-off has not engaged.

If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the carpet is completely dry before using the nozzle again.

Cleaning upholstery and automobile interiors

Be sure to check the cleaning code on your upholstery. Use the cleaner only on upholstery marked “W” or “W/S”.

With dry hands, plug cleaner into a properly grounded outlet and turn cleaner ON.

Gently press the nozzle onto the fabric. Press the trigger and slowly pull the nozzle over the fabric.

The built-in brush on the nozzle can help provide the scrubbing action some spots may need for removal. Without pressing trigger, scub the spot with the nozzle using a back and forth motion. Follow with dry strokes (without pressing trigger).

Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help prevent streaking.

Make additional strokes without pressing the trigger to remove more moisture.

To clean in corners or creases, lift the nozzle 1/2 inch from the fabric and press the trigger. Without pressing the trigger, vacuum up the solution with the nozzle.

For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make criscrossing strokes to the original pattern; overlap each pass.

Make no more than 2 passes with the solution over any one area to prevent overwetting and damage to fabtic.

NOTE: Check the recovery tank for fullness often. Empty tank if it appears full even if automatic shut-off has not engaged.

If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the upholstery is completely dry before using the nozzle again.
