Eureka 2590 Series Grounding Instructions, Before You Begin, A. Vacuum Carpet, After Cleaning

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A. Vacuum Carpet

NOTE: Never use this extractor as a standard vacuum cleaner.

For best results, vacuum carpets with a vacuum cleaner that has an agitator. The bristles of the agitator help loosen and remove soil that is deep in the carpet nap.

B. Pretest for Color Fastness

Before cleaning the carpet, we recommend testing the carpet for color fastness. Moisten a white towel with the cleaning solution. Test a small hidden area of the carpet in a closet or in a corner. Gently rub the cloth over the carpet. Check each color. If the towel does not pick up any color, it should be safe to use the cleaning solution on the entire area. See page 9 for additional information.

C. Remove Furniture

Remove as much furniture from the room as possible. Place aluminum foil or plastic film under or around the legs and bases of the remaining furniture to prevent stains. Leave the foil or plastic in place until the carpet is completely dry. Use masking tape or pins to hold furniture skirts and draperies up out of the way.

Helpful Hints for Deep-Cleaning Carpet

Follow the instructions in this ownerʼs guide. Here are a few extra hints that will make deep-cleaning carpet easier.

•Before you begin using the extractor, vacuum carpet thoroughly.

•Do not use the extractor for dry vacuuming as this can damage the unit.

•Use consistent forward and reverse strokes over the carpet surface.

•Ventilate the room while cleaning to speed drying.

•If the carpet shampooer/extractor is difficult to push when operating, try pushing the cleaner at a different 90 degree angle so it moves with the grain and not against the grain of the carpet fibers.

Do Not Use on Oriental rugs.

After Cleaning

•Allow carpets to dry thoroughly. Try to keep children and pets off the carpet until it is completely dry.

•Use towels or white cloths to step on if you must walk on the area before it is dry.

•Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork and wood furniture immediately to prevent damage to the wood or upholstery.

•If furniture must be placed back in the room before the carpet is dry, use aluminum foil or plastic under the furniture legs to prevent staining the carpet.
