Quick Start Guide
1. Prepare the surface to be cleaned.
• Apply a small amount of soap or a mild household cleaning
solution to your grout.
2. To use Grout GroovyTM (fig. A, pg 4), depress the safety
button on the main handle and squeeze the on/off trigger.
• To turn the machine off release the on/off trigger.
• Holding the machine with both hands, make sure the
underside of the machine is kept level and guide the
machine at a constant speed over the grout area moving
forward and backward similar to using a vacuum cleaner.
• There is no need to apply preasure. The nylon brush
provides plenty of scrubbing power.
3. For stubborn, dirty grout, repeat if necessary.
4. For corners and tight spaces use the detail corner prush
(fig. B, pg 4).
5. After grout is clean, mop or towel floor until clean.
CAUTION: Risk of eye injury, use safety glasses or similar eye
protection. To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged
cord immediately. To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not
operate without guards in place. To reduce risk of electric shock,
do not expose unit to water or operate unit on wet ground. Double
insulation - when servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect from the supply
circuit when cleaning or servicing.
