5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective spot cleaning:

1. **Fill the Clean Water Tank:** Remove the clean water tank (1.5-liter capacity) from the unit. Fill it with warm water up to the indicated fill line. Add the recommended amount of cleaning solution (e.g., 4 oz. of the provided Super Cleaner) to the solution compartment. Securely close the tank and reattach it to the unit.
2. **Power On:** Plug the 20-foot power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Locate the On/Off switch on the unit and turn it on.
3. **Pre-Treat (Optional):** For tough stains, you may pre-treat the area by spraying a small amount of solution directly onto the stain using the quick spray nozzle on the hose handle. Allow it to sit for a few minutes.
4. **Clean the Stain:** Position the revolving power brush directly over the stain. Press the spray trigger on the hose handle to release cleaning solution while simultaneously moving the brush back and forth over the stained area. The rotating brush will agitate the fibers for deep cleaning.
5. **Extract Dirty Water:** Release the spray trigger and continue moving the brush over the wet area to suction up the dirty solution. The unit's powerful suction will extract the liquid into the dirty water tank (0.8-liter capacity). Continue until most of the liquid is removed and the area feels damp, not saturated.
6. **Repeat if Necessary:** For stubborn stains, repeat steps 4 and 5 until the stain is removed.

2. **Clean Brush Heads:** Detach the brush head from the hose handle. Rinse it under running water to remove any debris or residue. For thorough cleaning, you may need to use a small brush to remove trapped hair or fibers.
