Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective cleaning:

1. Power On: Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the power button located on the top of the unit to turn it on.
2. Pre-treat (Optional): For tough stains, pre-treat the area by holding the cleaning tool just above the stain and pressing the spray trigger to apply cleaning solution. Allow the solution to sit for a few minutes before proceeding.
3. Spray and Scrub: Place the cleaning tool directly on the stained area. Press the spray trigger to release the cleaning solution while simultaneously scrubbing the stain with the brush bristles on the tool.
4. Suction: Release the spray trigger and apply downward pressure on the cleaning tool. Slowly pull the tool across the stained area to suction up the dirty solution. Repeat this step until the stain is removed and no more dirty solution can be suctioned.
5. Cleaning Different Surfaces:
   • Carpets: Use the 3" Tough Stain Tool for general carpet cleaning. For pet messes, the Stain Trapper Tool can be used to contain solid debris before it enters the machine's main dirty water tank.
   • Upholstery: The 3" Tough Stain Tool is effective for cleaning upholstery. Ensure the fabric is suitable for wet cleaning before use.
   • Car Interiors: The compact design and various tools make it easy to clean car seats and floor mats.
