4. Setup and Preparation

Before using your spot cleaner, follow these steps:

  1. Pre-Vacuum Area: For best results, thoroughly vacuum the area to be cleaned with a traditional vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt and debris. This prevents clogging and improves cleaning efficiency.
  2. Fill Clean Water Tank: Remove the clean water tank. Fill it with clean water up to the 'MAX' line. Add the recommended amount of a suitable carpet or upholstery cleaning solution. Refer to the cleaning solution's instructions for proper dilution. Do not use highly foaming cleaners.
  3. Secure Tanks: Ensure both the clean water tank and the dirty water tank are securely in place before plugging in the appliance.
  4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The appliance is now ready for use.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective spot cleaning:

  1. Turn On: Press the On/Off switch to power on the appliance.
  2. Spray Solution: Position the suction nozzle directly over the stain. Press the spray trigger to release the cleaning solution onto the stained area. Allow the solution to penetrate the fabric for a few moments (refer to cleaning solution instructions).
  3. Scrub and Suction: Gently scrub the stained area with the integrated brush while simultaneously moving the nozzle back and forth over the area. The powerful suction will lift the dirty solution and debris into the dirty water tank.
  4. Repeat if Necessary: For stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the spray, scrub, and suction process until the stain is removed. Avoid oversaturating the fabric.
  5. Rinse (Optional): For best results and to prevent residue buildup, you may perform a final pass with only clean water in the tank to rinse the area.
  6. Turn Off: Once cleaning is complete, press the On/Off switch to turn off the appliance and unplug it from the outlet.
