11.If you would like to rinse the carpet with water only, set Rinse Setting switch to RINSE (Fig. 3-8). Repeat steps 7-9. In this setting, rinsing will be done on both forward and reverse strokes.

Rinsing is not necessary, but will help remove detergent residue and help your carpet look fresher.

12.For heavily soiled areas, repeat steps 6-9. Avoid saturating carpet, as noted below.

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

It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above.

For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the recovery tank lid.)

13.Empty recovery tank when the

motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic shut-off”, Fig. 2-6).

When finished cleaning, follow “After cleaning” instructions on pages 9 &10.
