IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
!
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this brush machine has a polarized plug;one blade is wider than the other.
This plug will fit in 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
flammable vapors or materials. Do not operate this
machine near flammable fluids, dust or vapors.
20. Maintenance and repairs must be done by qualified
personnel.
21. Use only original SEBO replacement parts.
22. Do not use machine as a step.
23. Do not leave machine standing in one place with
machine turned on. This may damage carpet.
24. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from machine openings and moving parts. Do not
place fingers or other body parts under machine, unless
it is unplugged.
25. Do not place the brush head over fringes on a carpet or rug.
26. Store the brush machine in a dry place at room temper-
ature. When the machine is not in use, you should wrap
the cord on the cable hooks.
27. Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manu-
facturing technique of all floor surfaces vary. Therefore,
machines with rotating brushes, including your SEBO
duo brush machine, may damage some floor coverings
or surfaces.Berber carpets, long shag, specialty and del-
icate or hand-woven carpets are particularly vulnerable to
damage by rotating brushes. Always consult the materi-
als supplied by your floor’s manufacturer for information
on proper upkeep and cleaning. To ensure that your
new 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 dam-
age occurs. If damage occurs, stop using the brush
machine and powder immediately!
An operating machine should not stand stationary on
the floor for inappropriate periods of time. Damage
could occur. Do not run the machine on flooring not
covered by carpet.
WARNING! !

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 car-
pet to resoil, and the carpet can be used immediately after cleaning.
Because this is a DRY cleaning process, the SEBO
duo- PCleaning 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 aller-
gy 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 envi-
ronmentally 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 pro-
tector will help to protect against future damage from soiling or staining.
The duo-P Cleaning Powder:

mentally 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 SEBO duo Accessory Brush is perfect for cleaning small areas
such as entryways and stairs.

• 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.
• Limited 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 used on hand-woven or dyed carpeting. Check
with the carpeting manufacturer for approved cleaning methods.
Important Product Tips:
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 1). 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 2).
Once the duo-P powder has absorbed all of the dirt and the area is dry to the touch
(approximately 30 minutes), simply vacuum the area thoroughly (figure 5).
To Clean the Entire Carpet - Figures 1, 2 & 5
Figure 1

Figure 3
Figure 5
How to use the duo Cleaning System
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 provided with the SEBO Clean Box (figure 3), or the the accessory brush (figure 4).
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
(approximately 30 minutes), simply vacuum the area thoroughly (figure 5).

Removing the Brushes to Change or Clean -
Figures 7 & 8
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 vacuum’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 instruc-
tions below.
A cursory cleaning of the brushes may be done without remov-
ing them, by unplugging the machine, turning the brush rollers
upright, and using your vacuum’s suction hose, with crevice
tool attached, to remove the loose dirt or powder.
Replacing the Brushes - Figures 8 & 9
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 slightly to enable the bear-
ing block (18) to be replaced, then push the block back into
place in the brush housing and replace the two screws (17).
