Wet Vacuuming; Spray Extraction (Shampooing); Carpet Cleaning - Thomas BOXER Mode D'emploi

To select your suction power level use the air slide
(11, figure P):
– Air slide closed = full suction power
– Air slide open = reduced suction power

Wet vacuuming

Always remove the filter assembly (figure C, D) before
starting wet vacuuming, since otherwise the filter assembly
will be ruined.
Do not forget to unplug the power cord before removing the
motor housing (2) from the tank.
Keep the float valve (40, fig. S) clean and accessible at
all times. It automatically interrupts vacuuming when the
collecting bin is full.
When vacuuming out containers in which the liquid level is
higher than the top of the collecting bin and which have a
larger volume than the capacity of the collecting bin, liquid
can continue to be vacuumed beyond the capacity of the
collecting bin if the float valve is closed.
In such cases, vacuum only in partial amounts and intermittently
empty the collecting bin.
Lift the tube and flexible hose out of the liquid first and then turn off
the appliance afterwards, in order to prevent an afterflow of liquid.
A Open the snap fasteners and lift the motor block.
Remove the filters from the appliance, because they will
otherwise be damaged (figures C and D).
If the cleaning fluid tank is fitted, remove it (figure K).
H Place the motor block onto the collecting bin and close the snap
fasteners.
Connect the power cord.
J Connect flexible hose. Remove the hose by turning the hose
connecting piece to the side and withdrawing the hose.
P Close the air slide of the suction power control (11) on the handle.
N Switch on the appliance with the On/Off (6) switch. The pump
switch (7) must not light up.
After completion of wet vacuuming, please clean and dry the
appliance and the accessories used.

Spray extraction (shampooing)

Make sure that everything you intend to wet-clean or
shampoo is suitable for this procedure. Never wet-clean or
shampoo fine, hand-woven or non-coloured-fast carpets.
If the carpet has been shampooed before, it is possible that
you will obtain a great deal of foam when you use THOMAS
BOXER for the first time.
If this is the case, switch off the appliance and empty the
collecting bin.
Thereafter, in order to prevent excess foam, put
vinegar into the collecting bin.
Excess foaming will not occur after you have thoroughly
cleaned the carpet once with THOMAS cleaning concentrate,
because it contains a special anti-foam substance.
Ensure that there is always liquid in the fresh
water container when the spraying function is
switched on, in order to avoid possible damage to
the pump.

Carpet cleaning

A Open the snap-on fasteners and lift the motor block.
K Remove the lid of the cleaning fluid tank and fill the tank with
THOMAS ProTex cleaning concentrate.
See the bottle label for dosage instructions.
Use only lukewarm (max. 30 °C) water.
Replace the lid and insert the filled cleaning fluid tank into the
appliance.
G Take the suction hose for cleaning concentrate out of its holder
on the motor block.
L Place the motor block onto the collecting bin such that the
suction hose (36) is immersed all the way to the bottom of the
cleaning fluid tank and is not bent.
J Connect flexible hose. Remove the hose by turning the hose
connecting piece to the side and withdrawing the hose.
M Insert the stop valve into its receptacle on the suction tube.
Snap the handle into the suction tube and fasten the cleaning
fluid hose to the flexible hose by means of the plastic clips.
N Snap the cleaning fluid hose into the quick coupling (5) on the
motor block.
