Prepare Your Carpet
IMPORTANT: Do not use the carpet washer as a dry vacuum.
Vacuum your carpet thoroughly. Ensure it is cleaned before you
shampoo.
Remove as much furniture from the room as possible. If unable to
remove the furniture, place plastic or foil under and around furniture
legs until the carpet has dried completely.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR CLEANING CARPET:
Use only the cleaning solution recommended by Russell Hobbs with
this carpet washer.
Do not over-saturate the carpet with cleaning solution while using the
carpet washer.
For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
Allow plenty of time for the carpet to dry thoroughly.
Wipe the cleaning solution from woodwork and furniture to prevent
any damage.
After the carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum the carpet using a vacuum
cleaner with a revolving brush bar.
Before cleaning, determine where to start and end, making sure not to
walk over previously cleaned areas.
Try not to walk on the carpet until it is completely dry.

How to Fill the Water Tank
1. Lift the water tank release handle’ upwards. Tilt the water
tank away from the carpet washer and remove. [Fig. 3]
2. Unscrew the water tank cap. Add 1 capful of cleaning
solution. Fill remainder of clean water tank with warm tap
water (max 40°C). Replace cap.
IMPORTANT:
Use only carpet cleaning solution
recommended by Russell Hobbs. Using
incorrect cleaning solutions may cause
excess foaming. Excessive foam will
prevent the machine from working
effectively. Using other solutions will void
the warranty. Use only 1 capful of cleaning
solution per full tank.
3. Place Clean Water Tank back to original position and press down
release handle for security.
Caution: Do not use the Carpet Washer without the Clean Water
Tank in position
Check for Colour Fastness
Before cleaning the carpet, test for colour fastness. Dampen a white
cloth with solution and test a small inconspicuous area. Gently rub
the cloth over the area. Check for colour bleeding. If the cloth
remains clean, it should be safe to clean the carpet.

Start to use your Carpet Washer
1. Plug the cord into the electrical socket. Turn on the machine by
using the on/off switch located on the side of the machine.
IMPORTANT: Never leave unit unattended with power on. Turn off
when emptying and filling tanks.
2. Step on the handle release pedal to lower the machine into the
cleaning position [Fig. 4]. While pressing the trigger, pull the carpet
washer in a backward motion. Release the trigger and push the unit
forward in the same path to agitate and remove dirty water and
solution from the carpet. (For heavily soiled areas, repeat if
necessary).
IMPORTANT: For best cleaning results use a steady, moderate,
forward and backward motion. Always work from back to front
across the room to avoid stepping on wet carpet and lowering the
pile.
