ance in an inconspicuous place for colour fastness and
water resistance.
Do not clean water-sensitive floor coverings such as

the floor).

Cleaning tips/mode of operation
Always work from the light to the shade (from the
–
window to the door).
– Always work from the cleaned to the uncleaned
surface.
– Rugs with jute backing can shrink if too much water
is used and can bleed colours.
– Brush high-fiber rugs in the direction of the weave
after cleaning (using a fiber brush or a scrubber).
– Water-proofing the fabric using Care Tex RM 762
after the wet cleaning prevents a quick resoiling of
the textile surface.
– Do not step on cleaned surfaces until they have
dried and do not place furniture on them to avoid
pressure spots or rust stains.
Light/normal contamination
 Turn on suction and spraying (position I).
 Spray and simultaneously suction off detergent so-
lution in one work cycle.
 Switch off the spray switch and suction off the re-
maining cleaning solution.
 After cleaning the carpets, reclean them using
clear, warm water and waterproof if needed.
Heavy soiling or stains
 Switch on sprayer (position I).
 Apply detergent solution and allow to react for 5
minutes (vacuuming is switched off).
 Clean the surface just like you would with light/nor-
mal soiling.
 After cleaning the carpets, reclean them using
clear, warm water and waterproof if needed.
