MAINTENANCE
Always unplug the appliance before you remove accessories or cleaning or maintaining the appliance.
1. Always keep the machine clean.
2. Add 7.5 litres of clean warm water (below 50°C) into the clear water tank. Then start the water pump,
nozzle and sucker to run for 1 minute. This can prevent the deposit of alkali substances.

eliminated to ensure that air flow outlet will not be obstructed.
4. Check the filter at the inlet of clear water tank for any wool or dirt. If any, remove them.
5. Clean the dirt of filter, take the filter out and rinse it with water or use a soft brush to wash it.
6. To eliminate the residual alkali liquid, please purge with vinegar solution (1:3 mixture of vinegar and
water). Purge at least every month.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING FUNCTION
*** NOTE: Remember to remove the cloth filter bag from the machine when using the extraction function.
CLEANING CARPETS
When cleaning carpet, you must connect the large floor wand (see No.11 in diagram - big water sucker).
Connect the cuff end of the vacuum hose to the upper end of the steel pipe on the large floor wand, then
connect the machine end of the vacuum hose to the square connector on the tank of the machine.
Connect the male quick connector on the long solution hose to the female quick connector attached to
the handle of the large floor wand. Then connect the other male quick connector at the other end of the
long solution hose into the female quick connector located under the on/off switch.
Add 20 Litres of clear water into water/liquid tank. If carpet needs a deep clean, you can add a low foam
carpet cleaning solution into the water/liquid tank (1:12 mixture of carpet cleaning solution and water).
Turn on the pump switch and both suction switches.
Holding the large floor wand, press the trigger to release the spray onto the carpet and direct over the
area to be cleaned.
Refill the water/liquid tank as required, and empty the large tank of dirty water when it becomes full by
releasing the dirty water through the drainage hose.
CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
When cleaning smaller areas such as couches, chairs and upholstery, you must connect the small
upholstery tool (see No.14 in diagram - small water sucker).
Connect the cuff end of the vacuum hose to the steel pipe on the upholstery, then connect the machine
end of the vacuum hose to the square connector on the tank of the machine.
Connect the male quick connector on the long solution hose to the female quick connector attached to
the handle of the upholstery tool. Then connect the other male quick connector at the other end of the
long solution hose into the female quick connector located under the on/off switch.
Then follow the same steps as above to add clear water to the water/liquid tank and turn on the machine.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR VACUUMING
To use the machine as a vacuum cleaner, you can use the included vacuum attachments. Firstly you should
unclip the solution hose line from the vacuum hose as this is not required when vacuuming. Connect the
machine end of the vacuum hose to the square connector on the tank, and then connect the other end of the
vacuum hose with the assembled metal wand. For floor cleaning, simply attach either the dry floor brush (for
dry pick-up) or wet floor brush (for wet pick-up) to the end of the metal wand. If you wish to use the crevice
tool or dusting brush, simply remove the wand and attach the tools to the end of the vacuum hose.
Remember that this machine has two vacuum motors and can be operated with either one or both motors in
use (note: do not turn on the pump/spray switch when using for vacuuming only).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRY VACUUMING
Before vacuuming dry dust, make sure that the cloth filter bag is always fitted, regardless of whether a
paper dust bag is also used or not.
Empty dust from the tank as required.
The cloth filter bag can be cleaned by beating or brushing it over a rubbish bin (these must be replaced at
regular intervals according to level of use)
When the tank is full of dust, this can cause the suction to decrease. You should turn the machine off and
disconnect the plug from the power socket before cleaning or maintenance.
Clean the dust away from the tank by unfastening the lid and lifting up the top cover. Then remove the
cloth filter bag and clean the dust inside the tank. Install the filter bag back and place the top cover on.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WET VACUUMING
Always ensure that the cloth filter bag and paper bags are removed before vacuuming water.
When the water in the barrel is full, the float begins to work. The suction power will disappear and the
machine will make a noise which indicates the motor is running at a high speed.
When the float is working and cutting off suction, you should turn off the machine and empty the dirty
water from the tank by pulling out the plug from the drainage hose and release the dirty water. The
machine should start to work normally again.
If the machine becomes overturned you should turn it off, stand up the machine correctly and then turn
on the machine. When the float is working (cutting of suction when the water is full), the motor will be
damaged if you continue to use the machine. Under this circumstance, you should stop using the
machine and clean out the water.
