IMPORTANT INFORMATION - RETAIN FOR FUTURE USE
• Children must not play with the device.
• Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by
children.
• Children younger than 8 years of age and animals must be
kept away from the device and the connecting cable!
• Improper use can lead to injuries and electric shock.
• The device must always be disconnected from the mains
power when it is left unattended and before assembly,
dismantling, before you pour water into the water tanks or
empty them, and before cleaning.
• If the device, the connecting cable or the mains plug of the
device is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or customer service department or a similarly qualified
person (e.g. specialist workshop) in order to avoid any
hazards.
• Make sure that the connected mains cable does not present
a trip hazard.
• Use the device only in closed rooms.
• Only connect the device to a properly installed plug socket.
The plug socket must also be readily accessible after
connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly
be isolated. The mains voltage must match the technical
data of the device. Only use suitable extension cables whose
technical data is the same as that of the device.
• Never immerse the device, mains cable or mains plug in
water or other liquids and ensure that they cannot fall into
water or become wet.
• Should the device fall into water, switch off the power supply
immediately. Do not attempt to pull the device out of the

water while it is still connected to the mains power!
• Never touch the device, mains cable or mains plug with wet
hands when these components are connected to the mains
power.
• In the interest of your own safety, you should therefore
inspect the device for damage each time before you use it.
Only use it if the device, mains cable and mains plug have no
signs of damage.
• Always pull the mains plug and never the mains cable.
• Store the device only in dry indoor rooms.
• Do not operate the device in a very damp environment.
• Make sure that the device does not roll over the mains cable
(danger of the cable breaking).
• Do not use the device in rooms containing easily ignitable
dust or poisonous and explosive fumes.
• Switch off the device and pull the mains plug out of the
plug socket if an error occurs during operation or before a
thunderstorm.
• Do not operate the device in the vicinity of combustible
material.
• Do not insert anything into the openings of the device and
make sure that these do not become clogged so that the
circulation of air is not impeded.
• Use the device only when it is completely assembled and the
mains cable is completely unwound. The fresh water and
dirty water containers must be inserted.
• Make sure that the device does not tip over. The water from
the water containers could spill out.
• Do not use any sharp or pointed objects to remove foreign
bodies from the device. These could damage the device.

HOW TO USE
Preparing the Carpet
1. Vacuum the carpet or upholstered furniture which is to be cleaned thoroughly
with a vacuum cleaner. If possible, use a brush attachment to do this.
2. If possible, remove all furniture from the carpet. In the case of large items of
furniture which cannot be moved to one side, place plastic film below or around
the feet and only remove it once the carpet has completely dried after it has
been cleaned. The feet could be damaged by the moisture from the carpet.
3. Check the colourfastness of the carpet or upholstered furniture. Soak a piece of
white fabric with the cleaning solution supplied (see the “Preparing the Device /
Filling the Fresh Water Container” section) and rub it carefully on an inconspicu-
ous spot on the carpet. If the white fabric does not become discoloured, the
carpet or upholstered furniture can be cleaned with the device. In the case of
carpets or upholstered furniture with several colours, test the fastness of each
colour.
Preparing the Device / Filling the Fresh Water Container
CAUTION: Only ever pour the cleaning agent supplied with the device or standard
carpet cleaning products for carpet cleaners into the fresh water container. Do not
use any cleaning products that produce a lot of foam as excessive foaming impedes
the functioning of the device.
1. Hold the handle of the clean water tank and
press “Clean Water Tank Release”. Tilt the clean
water tank away from the carpet washer and
remove.
2. Unscrew the measuring cap from the under side
of the clean water tank (don’t try to remove the
orange part. That is a handle, not a lid). Add the
water first, then the cleaning solution. 50ml
of solution to 500ml of water (10:1). Give the
tank a slight shake to mix the water and solu-
tion before refitting the tank.
Do not exceed the MAX level on the tank.

depressing the solution spray trigger, pull carpet
washer in a backward motion. Release the trigger
and push the unit forward in the same path to agi-
tate and remove the dirty water and solution from
the carpet. Repeat on more heavily soiled areas if
necessary.
