Setup

Before first use, please read all instructions carefully. Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface.

  1. Unpack the Unit: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage.
  2. Extend Handle (Optional): If desired, extend the retractable handle for easier transport.
  3. Fill Clean Water Tank: Locate the "Clean Water Tank" (typically clear, with a blue tint). Remove it from the unit. Unscrew the cap and fill with warm tap water up to the indicated fill line. Add the recommended amount of Rug Doctor cleaning solution (trial size included) to the clean water tank. Securely replace the cap and reinsert the tank into the machine.
  4. Prepare Waste Water Tank: Ensure the "Waste Water Tank" (typically clear, with a grey tint) is empty and securely placed in the unit.
  5. Attach Hose and Tool: Connect the flexible hose to the designated port on the machine. Attach the handheld dual-action pet tool to the end of the hose.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective spot cleaning:

  1. Pre-treat (Optional): For heavily soiled areas or tough stains, pre-treat the spot with a small amount of Rug Doctor cleaning solution. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, but do not let it dry.
  2. Power On: Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.
  3. Spray Solution: Position the handheld tool directly over the stain. Press the trigger on the tool to spray cleaning solution onto the stained area. Ensure the area is adequately saturated.
  4. Scrub and Extract: While continuing to hold the trigger, move the tool slowly back and forth over the stain, allowing the dual-action brush to agitate the fibers. Release the trigger and continue moving the tool over the wet area to extract the dirty solution. Repeat this process until the stain is removed and the extracted water appears clean.
  5. Final Pass: Make a final pass over the cleaned area without pressing the trigger to remove as much moisture as possible. This helps in faster drying.
  6. Power Off: Turn the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the machine.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cleaner.

  1. Empty Waste Water Tank: After each use, remove the waste water tank. Carefully pour out the dirty water into a toilet or drain.
  2. Rinse Tanks: Rinse both the clean water tank and the waste water tank thoroughly with clean water. Allow them to air dry before reassembling.
  3. Clean Handheld Tool: Rinse the handheld tool and hose with clean water to prevent clogs. You can suck clean water through the hose to flush out any residue.
  4. Wipe Down Unit: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
  5. Store Properly: Wrap the power cord around the designated cord wraps on the back of the unit. Secure the hose and tool in their storage positions. Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place.
