Important Safety Instructions
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- Always connect to a properly grounded outlet.
- Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
- Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
- Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
- Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
- Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
- Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
- Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
- Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
- Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
- Do not use to pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
- Do not use in an enclosed space where vapors are given off from oil base paint, paint thinner, some mothproofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
- Do not use for any purpose other than described in this user manual.
- Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
- Use only cleaning products intended for use with this appliance to prevent internal component damage.
- Unplug before connecting hose.
- Do not immerse. Use only on surfaces moistened by the cleaning process.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

2. Cleaning Carpets and Rugs
For optimal results, vacuum the area thoroughly before deep cleaning.
- Plug in the carpet cleaner to a grounded outlet.
- Press the power button to turn on the unit.
- Hold down the trigger on the handle to dispense cleaning solution. Push the cleaner forward and pull it backward over the carpet. This constitutes one wet pass.

- Repeat the wet and dry passes until the carpet is clean and the dirty water tank shows clear water being extracted.
