41. Do not store cleaner with solution in Clean Water Solution Tank or dirty water in Dirty
Water Tank. Mineral deposits and mildew can form which will affect the performance of
your carpet cleaner.
Range of Usage
1. The Carpet washer is to be used on carpets, such as level loop, etc.
2. Some Loop Berber carpets, Natural Fiber (including silk and wool), and Soft Fiber
carpets can fuzz with wear. Some vacuums & carpet cleaners can worsen this carpet
wear. If cleaning on Berber, Natural Fiber, or Soft Fiber carpeting, first test on a
small hidden area of carpet by running the carpet washer over it. If no fuzzing or
overwetting occurs, continue cleaning. Avoid overwetting Berber carpets. If you have
any questions or concerns, consult with your carpet manufacturer on deep cleaning
recommendations.
3. Important: Keep the foot of the deep cleaner perpendicular to the rug's edge with each
cleaning pass to prevent damage.
4. Important! Please check manufacturer's tag before cleaning area rugs for any
specialized cleaning instructions. It's not advisable to perform deep cleaning on
delicate, silk, wool, antique or area rugs without a manufacturer's tag.
5. When cleaning area rugs, place the rug on a sealed surface to test for colorfastness in
an inconspicuous area. Your cleaner should not be used on unsealed surfaces.
6. Avoid using it on rugs or carpets that require dry cleaning.
7. For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your Tineco Carpet Washer only if the
upholstery fabric is marked with a "W" (for "wet" clean) or "S/W" (for "solvent/dry"
or "wet" clean). Do not clean fabric marked "S" ("solvent/dry" clean only). If your
upholstery does not have a code, seek professional assistance.
8. Test for colorfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden
area, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait for ten minutes and check
for color removal. If surface has more than one color, check all colors.
9. Keep your appliance away from heat sources, such as fireplace or heater, to avoid
casing deformation.
10. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, ultrafine particles, sharp
objects, hazardous material, chemicals or anything that is burning or smoking, as
described above.
