Wash cleaning
Before cleaning carpets
• Make sure that everything you want to wet clean is also suitable
for wet cleaning. Do not wet clean your sensitive, hand-woven or
non-fast dyed carpets, for example.
To check this put a little cleaning agent on a white cloth and rub
on the carpet at a not too obvious spot. It can be assumed that
the dye is colourfast should no traces of dye appear on the cloth.
Should this not be the case do not wet clean the carpet.
Please consult your specialist carpet dealer should you have any
doubts.
Should the carpet have been shampooed earlier on it may well
be that increased foaming will occur in the waste water tank when
using the THoMAS PET + FRIENDS T1 for the first time. Add half
a cup of vinegar to the waste water tank to prevent any further
foaming.
Immediately switch off the appliance and empty the waste water
tank should foam escape from the air outlet.
When using the THoMAS cleaning agent for thorough cleaning
there will be no increased foaming because this cleaning agent
contains a special anti-foaming agent.
You should not walk over your cleaned carpet as long as it is
wet.
The room should be well ventilated both while cleaning and after-
wards to ensure quick drying.
Carpet cleaning
– Put the 2-piece anti-splash grid together.
– Draw out the AQUA filter from the waste water tank by the grip,
remove long hair filter upwards and fit the anti-splash grid.
– Remove HEPA filter from the appliance.
– Fit the anti-splash grid and waste water tank on the appliance.
Make sure that both the wet filter (12a) and the motor protection
filter (14) are fitted.
– Remove the fresh water tank for filling (draw tank straight upwards
and out of the cleaner) or fill up directly in the appliance. In this
case you have to lift up fresh water tank cover.
When filling make sure that no impurities get
into the fresh water tank which will prevent the
closing valve from not functioning properly .
Fill up with cleaning agent and water through the grip lug
(max. 2.4 litres).
We recommend THOMAS ProTex original cleaning agent
for cleaning carpets.
See label on the cleaning agent bottle for application and
dosage.
Use hand warm water (max. 30°C).
Connect up suction hose and fit telescopic suction tube.
Push the shut-off valve (24) into the hole in the pipe bend (24a),
fasten the spray hose on the hose with the hose clips and insert
in the fast coupling (8) on the appliance.
Fit carpet spray nozzle, spraying hose to the suction tube with
fast coupling and move upwards and place on the shut-out
valve and lock by turning. Afterwards fasten the spray hose
by means of the two tube clips on the suction tube.
Pull out the mains power supply plug and cable from the
appliance and connect up.
Switch on appliance and pump. Control lamps come on.

Releasing and washing out

Press the lever on the shut-off valve (24) until the cleaning
agent escapes. Draw the nozzle straight over the carpet and
press it down at the same time. Release the valve lever to
stop spraying at the end of one run or when stopping work.
When the sprayed liquid has been sucked up, lift the nozzle
and begin a new run but overlap slightly. In this way you can
clean the entire area section by section.
Should there still be traces of liquid remaining on the cleaned
areas this liquid can be sucked up without having to spray
again.
Make sure that the mechanical suction controller (25) is
completely closed.
In the case of very stubborn dirt you can apply cleaning agent
while moving the carpet spraying nozzle forwards. The same
treatment can also be applied by just putting the pump into
operation.
Ensure that you do not spread too much liquid over the carpeting
since this may cause waves or bumps in the carpet. However, these
will disappear again after being allowed to dry for a longer period
of time.
Empty the waste water tank after you have used up all the
cleaning agent from the fresh water tank to prevent the
appliance being switched off automatically.
Should you not observe the above-mentioned instructions the
float will automatically switch off the appliance as soon as the
waste water tank is full. (You will clearly hear the motor be
running at a higher speed.)
Switch off appliance, disconnect the mains plug and empty the
waste water tank.
hard floor cleaning
Push the hard floor adapter on the carpet spray nozzle.
You can clean your hard floors and dry them in a single operation.
Never wet clean parquet and laminate floors. We expressly draw
your attention to the cleaning and care instructions of the manufac-
turer of the floor covering. These must be observed without fail.
See carpet cleaning for procedure .
We recommend THOMAS ProFloor cleaning agent for hard
floor cleaning.
