5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Spot Cleaning

Position the chosen cleaning tool over the stained area. Press the spray trigger on the handle to dispense cleaning solution onto the spot. Allow the solution to penetrate for a few moments. Then, without pressing the spray trigger, move the tool back and forth over the area to agitate the stain and suction up the dirty solution. Repeat as necessary until the stain is removed.

5.2. Upholstery Cleaning

For upholstery, test a small, inconspicuous area first for colorfastness. Apply solution sparingly to avoid over-wetting. Gently scrub with the appropriate brush insert and then suction up the dirty liquid. Work in small sections to ensure thorough cleaning and drying.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Emptying and Cleaning Dirty Water Tank

After each use, remove the dirty water tank from the unit. Carefully empty the dirty water and rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Allow it to air dry before reattaching.

6.2. Cleaning the Hose and Tools

Use the Hose Rinse Tool to flush out any remaining solution or debris from the hose. Attach the rinse tool to the hose and run clean water through it until clear. Rinse all cleaning attachments under running water and allow them to air dry.

6.3. Storage

Ensure the unit, tanks, and all accessories are clean and dry before storing. Store the cleaner and its components in a dry, protected area, away from extreme temperatures. The hose and tools can be conveniently stored on the unit itself.

7. Troubleshooting

If the cleaner is not operating as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean.
• No Suction: Verify that the dirty water tank is correctly seated and sealed. Check the hose and nozzle for blockages. Ensure the dirty water tank is not full.
• No Spray: Confirm the clean water tank is filled with solution and properly attached. Check the spray nozzle for any clogs.
• Poor Cleaning Performance: Ensure the correct cleaning concentrate is used and mixed according to instructions. Allow sufficient time for the solution to penetrate stains.
