• Flat Crevice Tool: Designed for reaching tight spaces, corners, and crevices between cushions.

Operating Instructions

1. Preparation

• Vacuum the area to be cleaned to remove loose dirt and debris.
• Test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the material to be cleaned for colorfastness.

2. Powering On

Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

3. Cleaning Procedure

1. Place the brush head firmly against the surface to be cleaned.
2. Press and hold the spray button to dispense cleaning solution while slowly pulling the cleaner over the stained area.
3. Release the spray button and continue to pull the cleaner over the wet area to suction up the dirty solution. Repeat this step until the area is clean and as dry as possible.
4. For heavily soiled areas, you may need to repeat the spray and suction process multiple times.

4. Self-Cleaning Function

After each use, it is recommended to use the self-cleaning function to flush the internal hoses and brush head:

1. Ensure the clean water tank has some clean water (without solution).
2. Place the cleaner over a sink or bucket.
3. Press and hold the spray button while simultaneously pressing the self-clean button (if available, otherwise run clean water through the system by spraying into a sink). The unit will spray clean water and then suction it back, flushing the system.
4. Continue until the water being suctioned appears clear.

Empty the dirty water tank when it reaches the 'MAX' fill line or after each cleaning session.

1. Press the release button and detach the dirty water tank from the main unit.
2. Carefully carry the tank to a sink or toilet.
3. Open the tank's lid and pour out the dirty water.

5. Reattach the dirty water tank to the main unit, ensuring it is securely latched.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Brush Heads

After each use, detach the brush head and rinse it under running water to remove any trapped debris or cleaning solution residue. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.

2. Cleaning the Unit

Wipe the exterior of the cleaner with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
