proper use & care

Following a few basic maintenance routines will help provide you with years of trouble-free service from your Rainbow Cleaning System. Neglecting all or part of these instructions may lead to decreased cleaning efficiency and potentially unnecessary service expenses.

Change the water when dirty…

Do not clean too long with one filling of water. Check water during cleaning, and if water becomes too thick with lint and dirt, empty water basin and add fresh, clean water. The correct water level is the top of the post in the center of the water basin. Never fill the water basin above this post.

Always empty and clean the water basin…

Immediately after using the Rainbow, remove the water basin and pour out the dirty water through the air intake opening. Heavier particles will settle to the bottom

of the basin as the water is poured. Once water is poured, remove the remaining heavier debris and dispose. Then wash the water basin with soap and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not store the Rainbow on top of the water basin.

! CAUTION: Always remove, empty and wash the water basin when cleaning job is finished. This helps to avoid odors, growth of germs and bacteria, and the development of water scum in the basin. Hand wash only. Not dishwasher safe.

Clean the separator…

For best performance, remove and clean the separator frequently. If necessary, use the supplied Rainbow Separator Brush/Wrench to loosen the nut. Clean separator inside and out with soap and water using the Rainbow Separator Brush. Clean and dry the flange under the separator. Immediately after cleaning, dry and replace the separator. Hand-tighten the separator nut. Do not force the separator onto the threaded shaft.

!WARNING: Always replace the separator immediately after cleaning (hand-tighten only). Do not operate the Rainbow without the separator.

Clearing an obstruction from the hose…

If you notice decreased airflow when using the hose, the hose may have become clogged. To clear obstruction, turn off Rainbow and disconnect from power source. Then, remove the exhaust vent door on the rear of the Rainbow. Connect the hose coupling to the exhaust air opening, making sure both latches are locked. Place the hose handle wand into the air intake opening on the front of the Rainbow. Turn the Rainbow on and jiggle the hose. Any dirt stuck in the hose will be trapped in the Rainbow water basin.
