Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
- Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
- Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
- 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. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
- Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

3. Product Components
The Akitas X6 Spot Cleaner comes with the following main components:
Main Host Unit: The core of the cleaner, housing the motor, pumps, and connections for tanks and tools.
Clean Water Bucket (1100ml capacity): For holding clean water and cleaning solution.
Sewage Bucket (500ml capacity): Collects dirty water and extracted debris during cleaning.
Tough Stain Hand Brush Tool: Ideal for scrubbing and extracting tough stains from carpets and other fabrics.
Upholstery Tool: Designed for gentle yet effective cleaning of delicate upholstery and fabrics.
Suction Hose (1.2m) and Power Cord (3m): Provides extended reach for various cleaning tasks.
4. Setup Guide
Unpack the Unit: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed in Section 3 are present.
Fill the Clean Water Bucket: Remove the clean water bucket from the main unit. Fill it with clean water up to the MAX line. For enhanced cleaning, add a low-foaming, low-acid cleaning solution as per the detergent manufacturer's instructions. Note: It is strongly suggested to spray detergent directly onto the target surface rather than adding it to the water tank to prevent excessive foaming.

Power On: Press the power button on the main unit to turn on the cleaner.
Pre-treat (Optional but Recommended): For stubborn stains, spray a small amount of low-foaming, low-acid detergent directly onto the stained area. Allow it to penetrate for a few minutes as per detergent instructions.
Spray and Scrub: Position the cleaning tool over the stain. Press the spray trigger on the tool handle to release cleaning solution onto the stain. Gently scrub the area with the brush attachment to agitate the stain.

Extract Dirty Water: Release the spray trigger and slowly pull the cleaning tool across the wet area. The powerful suction will lift the dirty water and debris into the sewage bucket. Repeat this step until the area is clean and as dry as possible.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Clean Clean Water Bucket: Rinse the clean water bucket with fresh water after each use, especially if cleaning solution was added.
Clean Tools: Detach the cleaning tools (Tough Stain Hand Brush Tool, Upholstery Tool) and rinse them under running water to remove any debris or residue. Allow them to air dry completely.
