  1. Plug In the Machine: Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet.
  2. Power On: Locate the power button (usually on the main unit) and press it to turn on the machine.
  3. Apply Solution (Spray):
    • Hold the cleaning nozzle directly over the stained area.
    • Press the spray trigger on the nozzle handle to release clean water and cleaning solution onto the stain.
    • Allow the solution to penetrate the stain for a few seconds (refer to cleaning solution instructions for dwell time).
  4. Scrub the Stain (Brush):
    • Using the integrated brush on the nozzle, gently scrub the stained area. Move the nozzle back and forth over the stain to agitate the dirt and loosen it from the fibers.
  5. Extract Dirty Water (Suction):
    • Release the spray trigger.
    • Press the nozzle firmly against the surface and slowly pull it towards you, allowing the powerful 11000Pa suction to extract the dirty water and loosened debris into the dirty water tank.
    • Repeat the suction passes until no more dirty water is being extracted and the area appears clean and as dry as possible.
  6. Repeat if Necessary: For stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the spray, scrub, and suction steps.
  7. Power Off: Once cleaning is complete, turn off the machine and unplug it from the outlet.
