5. CLEANING OF TEXTILE SURFACES
IMPORTANT:Always test a carpet or fabric for colour fastness with the detergent, by cleaning a
small, normally hidden area of the carpet or fabric and observing the results before
proceeding to clean the entire surface.
5.1. Start the equipment by pressing both motor and pump switches. Proceed as follows.
5.2. Spray detergent by pressing the trigger as shown (Fig 10), at the same time pulling the spray
head towards you. This will spray fluid detergent on the area to be cleaned and at the same time
suck up about 60% of the used fluid.
5.3. Make another pass over the surface, without pressing the trigger (Fig 11). This will extract the
remainder of the fluid from the material.
5.4. For the cleaning of rigid floors e.g. linoleum or wooden floors), fit the rubber adaptors to the spray
head and proceed as for carpet cleaning (Fig 12).
5.5. For the cleaning of car seats, automotive trim and upholstery, fit the small spray head directly to
the handle (without the extension tubes) and proceed as above (Fig 13).

6. CLEANING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
6.1. Remove the filter cartridge (Fig 14b) from the motor support.
6.2. Frequently clean the filtering element with a soft bristle brush. Use a shower fitting on a tap to
more thoroughly clean the element, directing the jet of water from the inside towards the outside.
IMPORTANT: The filter is extremely delicate when wet. Avoid using direct jets of water and rough
physical handling that could cause damage.
6.3. Make sure that the filter element is completely dry before fitting it back on.
6.4. Replace the filter element (not the entire cartridge) if the filter has become excessively dirtied or worn.
7. FITTING OPTIONAL DUST COLLECTION BAGS
IMPORTANT: Only use the dust bag together with the filter cartridge.
7.1. (Fig 15) Fit the plastic adaptor (A1) into the cardboard support (A2) of the dust bag (A3), pushing
it fully in until the holes match.
7.2. (Fig 16) Fit the part of the suction fitting (A4) that projects into the drum (A5) into the hole of the
adaptor (A1), making sure that the paper bag is not torn.
7.3. Allow bag to adhere to the sides of the drum and then fit the head.
7.4. The bag collects and contains dust hygienically. If sucked in, sharp or wet items could damage the
dust bag.
7.5. Change the bag when it has filled to two thirds with dust.
7.6. The bag cannot be reused. It must always be changed.
8. CLEANING THE CONTAINER
8.1. Take care when vacuuming quantities of substances, especially if they are bulky.
8.2. The tank should be emptied when half full (Fig 17).
8.3. After using the machine for valeting, or sucking liquids, empty the tank and dry it and the fittings
thoroughly (Fig 18).
8.4. Before using for dry vacuuming, you MUST refit the cartridge filter.
IMPORTANT: Failure to fit the appropriate filters will invalidate your warranty.
