Getting started PLEASE READ ‘LET’S TALK SAFETY’ AT THE BEGINNING BEFORE USE IMPORTANT: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing. Test for colourfastness – Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small hidden area of your carpet/rug gently rub with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with a white paper towel or cloth. If your carpet has more than one colour, check all colours.
Using your machine Using the carpet washer WARNING: The carpet washer has a constantly rotating brushbar. Never leave the carpet washer in one spot for an extended period of time as this may damage the floor surface. To prevent any damage being sustained test on an inconspicuous area of the flooring. IMPORTANT: Your dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When the dirty water tank is full, or the floorhead is not in contact with the carpet, the float will shut off the suction on the carpet washer.
Taking care of your machine Maintaining the carpet washer WARNING: Always switch off the carpet washer and unplug from the charger and mains before carrying out any maintenance or troubleshooting. Emptying and cleaning the dirty water tank IMPORTANT: Empty and rinse out clean and dirty water tanks and leave to air dry before replacing. Do not leave solution stored in the tanks between uses. Depress the dirty water tank release latch and lift to remove the dirty water tank from the carpet washer.
Let’s talk technical Removing and cleaning the nozzle IMPORTANT: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing. This will help prevent excessive build up of dirt/debris in the nozzle. If the nozzle is fitted incorrectly, this will cause poor dirty water pick up. Remove both tanks and tilt the carpet washer back. Lift the nozzle from the top and pull forward to remove. Rinse the nozzle under water to remove dirt/debris.
What to do if it goes wrong CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, unplug the carpet washer before performing maintenance/ troubleshooting checks. Problem Solution • The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket. Why won’t the carpet washer turn on? Why won’t the carpet washer pick up? • Check if the fuse in the plug needs replacing. Always replace with a British 13amp fuse. • The float in the dirty water tank may have been activated.
