Putting into practical use
n Mix cleaning agent (RM) and clean water
thoroughly in a clean container in
accordance with the instructions (Fig. 3).
n Fill fresh-water tank up to the “Max.” line,
but not above this (Fig. 4).
Note: Warm water increases cleaning efficiency
(max. 50 °C).
n Place dirty-water container in the housing
and put the lid on.
n Put power plug in the socket.
n Switch on unit with the “Suction” and “Spray”
buttons (Fig. 5).
n To spray, press lever on grip section and
keep it pressed. By doing so the cleaning
solution is sprayed on and in the same
process is vacuumed up (Fig. 6).
n Go over the surface to be cleaned in
overlapping strips with the relevant nozzle,
put on the nozzle and work backwards
(Fig. 6).
n When the dirty-water reservoir is full or the
fresh-water tank is empty, it is essential to
turn the unit off with the “Suction” and
“Spray” buttons.
n Remove cover, take out dirty-water reservoir
and empty it (Figs 7, 8).
n Repeat working steps if necessary.
Cleaning carpets and upholstery
n For cleaning carpets, apply the 230 mm
floor nozzle.
n For cleaning upholstery, stair carpets, wall
hangings or the inside of the car, apply the
110 mm hand nozzle ( optional accessory ).
n When cleaning upholstery, the amount of
cleaning solution must be reduced for
delicate fabrics and the surface wetted at
a distance of approx. 200 mm.
Cleaning methods
Normally dirty carpets:
n In the normal spray-extraction process the
cleaning solution is sprayed on and
vacuumed up immediately.
n Vacuuming again without spraying shortens
the drying time.
On very dirty surfaces or stains:
n First spray cleaning solution on to these
areas and leave it to take effect for approx.
10–15 mins. Then go over the areas as
already described.
n To get the best results, go over the area
again with clean warm water only. In this
way the residue of detergent is reduced
further and the dissolved dirt fully washed
away.
