• 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

(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.

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. Press the release lever of the fresh water container (15)
upwards. The fresh water container (2) is released from
the locking mechanism.
2. Remove the fresh water container (2) from the device.
3. Flip open the seal cap of the fresh water container (9) and
pour in carpet cleaning agent. Note the dosing instructions
for the cleaning agent when you do this. Typically 50ml
of solution to 500ml of water. It is important to put the
water in first, then add the solution. Then give the tank a
shake to mix it.
4. Fill the fresh water container (2) up to the Max mark with
warm water (max. 40°C). Close the seal cap again.
5. Insert the fresh water container (2) into the container sup-
port (14) (see the “Before Initial Use” chapter).

CLEANING
ATTENTION
• Never leave the device switched on when it is unsupervised.
• Switch off the device before a water container is removed.
• Make sure that the device does not tip over. The water from the water containers
could spill out. To park the device, move the handle to the vertical position in which it
engages.
• Do not wet the carpet or the upholstered furniture excessively.
• If the device switches off during use, the built-in overheating protection has been
activated. In this case, let the device cool down for approx. 60 minutes and then
switch it on again using the On/Off switch.
Cleaning the Carpet
1. Decide where cleaning should start and where it should stop so that you do not
step on the carpet which has already been cleaned. We recommend that right-
handed people should start at the right-hand edge of the carpet, and left-handed
people should start at the left-hand edge of the carpet. Cleaning solution may still
escape from the device even after it has been switched off. Therefore have a
towel or cloth ready on which the device can be placed down after use.
2. Fully unwind the mains cable from the hook for winding up the cable (10, 11), insert
it into the cable holder (16) and connect it to an easily accessible plug socket whose
main voltage matches the technical data of the device.
3. Step on the pedal for tipping the handle (13) and tilt the handle (3) towards you.
4. Step on the On/Off switch (12) to switch on the device.
5. Roll the device to a corner of the carpet.
6. Slide the device forwards along the edge of the carpet and hold down the button for
discharging the cleaning solution (17). This applies the solution to the carpet and
brushes it in. Walk to the side of the device as you do this. Do not tread on the wet
carpet! Once you have reached the other end of the carpet, let go of the button.
7. Pull the device backwards along the same strip. The dirty water will be sucked up.
8. Start the next strip slightly overlapping the strip of carpet that has just been
cleaned. Work up to the other edge of the carpet with even movements forwards
and back- wards. If you find more stubborn patches of dirt, go over a strip several
times if necessary.
9. Move slowly to give the machine a chance to do its work. About half the speed of
a vacuum cleaner
10. When the dirty water container (8) is filled to the Max marking, it must be emptied
(see the “After Use” chapter, “Cleaning the Water Containers” section).
11. When the dirty water container (8) is to be emptied, the fresh water container (2)
is to be topped up or the cleaning is to be finished, place the device on the towel or
cloth provided. Switch off the device by stepping on the On / Off switch (12), and
move the handle (1) to a vertical position.
12. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.
