Machine care
For best results, a few simple steps can assure 
your machine is well maintained after cleaning 
is complete.
1.  Turn power switch off. Unplug the machine 
and wrap the power cord. 
2.  After emptying the 2-in-1 water tank, rinse it 
with running hot tap water, taking care to clean 
underneath and around the heavy duty bladder. 
Clean out red lint screen. Removable nozzle may 
be rinsed if necessary.
3.  Replace the 2-in-1 water tank on the machine.
4.  Any loose hair or debris can be pulled  from 
the brush roll and thrown away.  
5.  To clean attachments, remove from hose and 
rinse in clean, running water. Dry before storing. 
Clean the hose by suctioning clean water from 
the tap. Before wrapping back on machine, lift 
end of hose and stretch out to ensure all water 
is cleared from hose. Refer to page 13,  
illustrations 11 and 12.  
6.  Wipe the machine’s exterior with a soft cloth.
7.  After carpet is dry, vacuum again to remove  
hair and fuzz.

Put the unit away in a closet or basement for  
the next use. Store cleaner in a protected, dry
