7. Troubleshooting

• Appliance not turning on: Ensure the battery is fully charged. The unit is cordless and cannot operate while plugged in.
• No spray: Check if the clean water tank is filled and the spray trigger is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no blockages in the spray nozzle.
• Weak suction: Verify that the dirty water tank is not full and the clean water tank is not empty. Check for any blockages in the hose or suction head. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Battery life shorter than expected: Battery performance can decrease over time with regular use. Ensure the unit is fully charged before each use.

• For heavily soiled areas, pre-treat the surface with a cleaning solution and allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before proceeding with the spray, brush, and suction steps.
• When mixing cleaning solutions, a 6:1 ratio of water to shampoo is often effective for general upholstery cleaning. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
