OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is
properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the
plug in the illustration. Make certain that the appliance is con-
nected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring
system. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current,
reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance
has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Cleaning with Tools
IMPORTANT! If using to clean upholstery, check uphol-
stery tags. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning.
“W” or “WS” on the tag means that you can clean this
with a spot cleaner. If the tag is coded with an “X” or
an “S”(with a diagonal stripe through it), or says “Dry
Clean Only”, do not proceed with any deep cleaning
machine. Do not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s
tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture
dealer.
1. Hold the tool approximately 1" above the soiled surface.
Press the spray trigger to apply the
cleaning solution to the soiled area.
NOTE: Hold end of hose below the tank water level to
help prime the portable spot cleaner.
2. Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub
the area to be cleaned.
3. Apply downward pressure on the tool and pull it toward
you. The suction will remove the dirt and cleaning solution.
Continue until no more dirt can be removed.
