Preparing the carpet
1. Thoroughly vacuum clean the carpet to be treated with a vacuum cleaner. Use a brush
adapter for this (if possible).
2. If possible, remove all furniture from the carpet. Place a plastic tarp under or around the
legs of large pieces of furniture that can't be moved aside and only remove the tarp once the
carpet is completely dry after cleaning. Otherwise the wet carpet could damage the legs.
3. Check the carpet's colour-fastness. Dip a piece of white fabric in the cleaning solution that
you want to use (see section "Preparing the device/fi lling the fresh water tank") and carefully
rub on a hidden part of the carpet. If the white fabric does not discolour, you can clean the
carpet with the device. For multicoloured carpets, test every colour for colour-fastness.
Preparing the device/fi lling the fresh water tank
❐ Only fi ll the fresh water tank with commercially-available carpet
cleaners for carpet washers.
❐ Do not use any high-foaming cleaners as an excessive amount of foam
impairs the functioning of the device.
1. Hold the fresh water tank (3) by the handle and depress the
release button (2). The tank will be released from the locking
mechanism.
2. Take the fresh water tank out of the device.
3. Unscrew the tank cap and fi ll it with the carpet cleaner that
you want to use. Please follow the dosing instructions for the
cleaner.
4. Fill the fresh water tank with warm water (max. 40 °C) up to the
Max mark. Then put the cap back on the tank.
5. Mount the
fresh water tank in the midsection. In the process,
fi rst insert the rubber connecting piece on the bottom of the
tank in the ring of the main unit. Then press the tank against the
top part of the midsection until it locks into place.
