Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help prevent
streaking.
Keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward and
reverse strokes.

only, set Wash/Rinse Setting switch to RINSE.
Repeat cleaning motion. In this setting, rinsing will
be done on both forward and reverse strokes.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning motion.
Avoid saturating carpet.
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as
described above.
For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying
of carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue
using dry strokes until little water is visible passing
through the Dirty Water Tank lid.)
Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound
becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in
suction (see "Automatic shut-off", Fig. 2.19).
When finished cleaning, follow "After Cleaning"
instructions on page 12.

To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more
than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end
with dry strokes.
