Your MAYTAG®Floor-2-Floor™ Hard Floor Cleaner can be used to both vacuum dry debris and wet
clean non-carpeted floor surfaces such as vinyl, tile and sealed wood. It is not intended for use on
carpet or rugs.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to wood floors, follow the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning
recommendations.
If using cleaner on sealed wood floors, inspect floor surface for worn finish, bare wood or sepa-
rated joints. Do not use Floor-2-Floor™ Hard Floor Cleaner to wet clean sealed wood floors if any
of these conditions exist.

Rotate tank cap counter-clockwise
and lift up to remove cap (A).
16
Turn cap (A) upside down to serve
as a measuring cup.
For hard surface floors such as vinyl,
linoleum, marble, laminate wood,
polyurethane sealed wood or other
wood floors that can normally be
cleaned using water, use one cup (60 mL
[2 oz.]) MAYTAG®Floor to Floor™
Cleaner.
Check for worn spots or joint separa-
tions before using, as these conditions
could lead to damaged flooring when
using water to clean floor.
When cleaning ceramic and other tiles,
use the set of grout brushes with gray
bristles included with your Floor-2-
Floor™ Hard Floor Cleaner. Use these for
tile floors where extra attention is needed
for cleaning grout. (See “Cleaning the
brushes” section for how to remove and
replace the brush assemblies.)
Using cup, measure 1-1/2 cupfuls (90 mL
[3 oz.]) of MAYTAG®Grout Cleaner.
Solution (upper) tank
The solution tank holds detergent and
water that is to be dispersed onto the sur-
face being cleaned.
How to fill

let.

Recovery (lower) tank
Automatic shut-off
An automatic suction shut-off is built
into the recovery tank to prevent the
tank from overflowing.
When the shut-off activates, the cleaner
will not pick up debris and the sound of
the motor will change. The recovery
tank is full and must be emptied.
How to empty
Turn cleaner off and disconnect from
electrical source.
Although not necessary for satisfactory
performance, it is recommended that the
recovery tank be emptied after dry vac-
uuming and before wet operation.
Check the solution tank also. It may
need to be refilled at this time.
To remove tank, press down on
release button (B) and pull tank
straight out.
Remove tank lid (C). Empty tank.
The tank lid contains a washable,
reusable filter. Clean this filter when
suction is low or reduced.
Turn cleaner off and disconnect from
electrical source.
Remove recovery tank and lid (Figs.
21 & 22). Remove filter lid (A), then
remove filter (B). Remove loose debris
from filter by tapping the filter or gently
brushing using your hand. The filter
may also be rinsed for additional clean-
ing. Allow filter to air dry between uses.
