Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.

User Instructions

Assembly

• Insert handle into the Carpet Cleaner. Insert a screw into the hole on each side of the handle. Tighten screws.

Helpful Things to Think About Before Carpet Cleaning:

• Before cleaning, determine where to start and end, making sure not to walk over previously cleaned area.
• Do not over-saturate carpet with cleaning solution while using Carpet Cleaner.
• For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
• Allow plenty of time for carpet to dry completely.
• Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork and wood to prevent damage.
• Vacuum the carpet thoroughly and remove as much furniture from the room as possible. For remaining pieces, place foil or plastic under furniture legs until the carpet has completely dried.
• Check for color fastness before cleaning your carpet. Dampen a white cloth with the cleaning solution and test a small inconspicuous area. Gently rub over the area and all colors in the carpet. If the white cloth remains clean, it should be safe to clean your carpet.
• NOTE: You may use any carpet cleaning solution available at your local retail or hardware store. Pay close attention to the amounts that should be used.
• Do not use any chemicals on your carpeting. Only approved carpet cleaning solutions.

To Begin

1. Hold the handle and lift up on the clean water release lever and lift the water tank away from the cleaner. Unscrew the tank cap from the bottom of the tank, add 2 teaspoons of cleaning solution (or recommended amount on cleaner solution bottle) and fill the remainder of the tank with warm tap water. Do not fill past the MAX fill line.
2. Place the bottom of the tank into the Carpet Cleaner and snap into place.
3. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Turn the Carpet Cleaner on using the switch on the side.
4. Step on the handle release button on the back of the Carpet Cleaner to lower the handle into the cleaning position.
5. Squeeze the solution release trigger and pull the Carpet Cleaner in a backward motion. Release the trigger and using a steady, moderate forward and backward motion (about 1 second per foot) push the Carpet Cleaner in the same path to agitate and remove the dirty water and solution from the carpet. NOTE: For heavily soiled areas, repeat if necessary.
6. Work in a direction that ensures you will not walk on wet carpeting.
7. When the dirty water tank is full, lift the water tank latch and remove it from the base using the handle.
8. Twist the water tank outlet cap located on the bottom of the tank to the left and remove. Then empty the tank, rinse it, and replace the cap. Replace the tank to resume cleaning.
9. When you are finished cleaning, remove both the clean and dirty water tanks, rinse with warm water and allow them to dry thoroughly before replacing the tanks for storage.
10. Remove the exhaust filter on the top right side of the dirty water tank, rinse with warm water and allow it to dry thoroughly before replacing.
