IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL I STRUCTIO S BEFORE USI G THIS MACHI E
3
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed. The use of the machine is
at your own risk. The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any injury or damage caused by incorrect usage
of the machine. Always check the cleaning and maintenance instr ctions of yo r floor man fact rer.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this brush machine has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than the other. This plug will
fitin a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Connect only to the outlet type specified on
the serial number plate underneath the machine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WAR I G! The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary.
Therefore, machines ith rotating brushes, including your SEBO duo brush machine, may damage some floor coverings or sur-
faces. Berber carpets, long shag, specialty and delicate or hand- oven carpets are particularly vulnerable to damage by rotating
brushes. Al ays consult the materials supplied by your floor’s manufacturer for information on proper upkeep and cleaning. To
ensure that your SEBO duo brush machine is compatible with your floor coverings, please test the duo-P cleaner and brush
machine on each type of carpeting in a small inconspicuous area to determine if any damage occurs. If damage occurs, stop
using the brush machine and powder immediately! An operating machine should not stand stationary on the floor for inappropri-
ate periods of time. Damage could occur. Do not run the machine on flooring not covered by carpet.

SEBO duo CARPET CLEANING SYSTEM PRODUCT FEATURES
4
Your SEBO duo Cleaning System is formulated to deep clean your entire carpet or spot clean stubborn stains
without soaking your carpet. Dry cleaning is safer for most carpets – it will not shrink the carpet or cause water
staining if applied unevenly. SEBO duo
- PCleaning Powder leaves no detergent residue to cause your carpet to
resoil, and the carpet can be used immediately after cleaning.
Because this is a DRY cleaning process, the SEBO duo
- P Cleaning Powder will not promote the growth of mold
and fungus in your carpet and pad that wet extraction systems may cause. In addition, the GAF allergy research
center in Germany found in a long term test that, six months after a single cleaning with duo-P, seven out of ten
carpets remained free of dust mite allergens.
The Advantages of using the SEBO duo Cleaning System are:
• No detergent residue • No shrinkage or mildew
• Alleviates house dust allergies • No need to move furniture
• Easy spot cleaning • Cleans most types of carpets
• A built-in fiber protector helps to protect • Immediate use of the carpet
your carpet against future stains and soil
How it Works:
The SEBO duo-P Cleaning Powder is made up of granules that are moistened with detergent and is environmen-
tally friendly and safe to use. When the granules are worked into the carpet fiber, soil and stains are lifted out of
the carpet by the duo-P powder. The duo Brush Machine lifts the carpet pile ensuring all surfaces of the fiber are
cleaned, leaving your carpet revived and softer. After vacuuming, the duo
- P powder is removed, and your carpet
is left clean, dry and ready for use.
An added advantage in using duo-P Cleaning Powder on your carpet is that once applied, a built-in fiber protec-
tor will help to protect against future damage from soiling or staining.

The SEBO duo-P Clean Box contains a 1.1 lb. bag in an envi-
ronmentally friendly refillable container, and the underside
of the lid has a built-in brush for spot cleaning. When you
have used the contents, you can replace the inner bag with
an inexpensive refill pack of duo-P Cleaning Powder.
The duo Daisy and Hand Brushes provide quick, convenient
cleaning. The duo Daisy Brush is a single brush and is not
motorized. Its adjustable handle and light weight allows
cleaning in a comfortable, upright position and it can clean
both small and medium-size carpeted areas, such as hall-
ways. The Daisy offers two brush bristle options for different
types of carpet - easy or aggressive.
The duo Hand Brush can be used to clean small areas of
carpet and upholstery in homes, cars, boats and RVs.

Cleaning the Entire Carpet - Figures 5, 6, 7 & 10
First, vacuum your carpet prior to applying duo-P Powder. Then, spread duo-P Cleaning Powder
evenly over the carpet. This can be done by spreading the powder directly out of the bag, or by
spreading the powder by hand. Distribute the powder lightly, but evenly, over the area to be
cleaned (figure 5). You need not use an excessive amount of powder for effective cleaning.
Work the powder into the carpet using the SEBO duo Brush Machine, which opens the carpet pile
enabling the duo-P powder to clean around each separate fiber (figure 6). For smaller areas, the
optional duo Daisy Brush can be used (figure 7).
Once the duo-P powder has absorbed all of the dirt and the area is dry to the touch (approxi-
mately 30 minutes), simply vacuum the area thoroughly (figure 10).
To Spot Clean Stains - Figures 5, 7, 8, 9 & 10
Vacuum any loose dirt or debris from area. If soiled area is wet, use white paper towels to absorb
all moisture from the carpet. This will prevent the powder from “caking up” on the carpet and the
brush. Then, spread a small amount of duo-P powder onto the soiled area.
Gently work the powder into the carpet using the spot cleaning brush (page 5, #8), the brush pro-
vided with the SEBO Clean Box (figure 8), the optional duo Hand Brush (figure 9) or the optional
duo Daisy Brush (figure 7). Older or more stubborn stains may require further treatments. Simply
repeat the process until the stain is completely removed.
Once the duo-P powder has absorbed all of the dirt and the area is dry to the touch (approxi-
mately 30 minutes), simply vacuum the area thoroughly (figure 10).
Important Product Tips:
• For best results, vacuum carpet prior to applying duo-P powder.
• Check a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet for colorfastness.
• Absorb any moisture from carpet using white paper towels before applying duo-P powder.
• Open window to speed drying.
• Reseal package after opening to maintain moisture. To ensure longer life of the
powder, seal all opened packages inside of a zip-lock bag.
• Only moist powder will effectively clean. If powder becomes dry before it is used (e.g. powder
left in an opened package), it will no longer work.
• Before using the SEBO duo-P Powder on your carpets, please read all instructions and
warnings provided with the powder and all the instructions and warnings in this manual.
• imited suitability for berber and needlepunch carpets.
•Use caution if cleaning berber or looped pile carpeting with the brushing machine or when
using the hand brushes. Test an inconspicuous area to determine suitability. Do not use on
hand-woven or dyed carpeting. Check with the carpeting manufacturer for approved
cleaning methods.

Removing the Brushes to Change or Clean - Figures 11 & 12
Remove the brushes (6), by unscrewing the two screws (17) at the end of each
brush from the bearing block (18). Do not remove the screws that are recessed.
Push the top of the brush and the block forward at the same time. Take the block
off the brush, then, lift the brush upwards out of the brush housing.
Cleaning the Brushes
The brushes must be removed from the machine to be thoroughly cleaned. See
instructions above for removing the brushes. Clean by running your SEBO vacu-
um’s suction hose, with crevice tool attached, up and down each brush to remove
dirt and powder. Some carpet fibers, dirt and debris may require removal by hand.
Replace the brushes - see instructions below.
A cursory cleaning of the brushes may be done without removing them, by
unplugging the machine, turning the brush rollers upright, and using your vacu-
um’s suction hose, with crevice tool attached, to remove the loose dirt or powder.
Replacing the Brushes - Figures 12 & 13
To replace each brush, insert the end with the slots into the housing and locate the
slots over the drive cog (19) by turning the brush. Push the brush forward slight-
ly to enable the bearing block (18) to be replaced, then push the block back into
place in the brush housing and replace the two screws (17).
Always unplug machine from the outlet before dismantling any part of the machine!
