the black cylinder next to the screw.
When water bubbles up, remove
the pen. Reassemble the nozzle and
hose.

so they fit properly.
Empty Dirty Water Tank.
Check fluid levels in the Clean Water
Tank. Refill the tank if it is empty.
Check the Rubber Tab on the Dirty
Water Tank and press firmly on all
edges to secure it tightly (see step
4 on page 11 for details).
Check the Accessory Hose Door
and make sure it is closed tightly –
it should be locked into place.
Use the Nozzle Clean Out Tool
and follow steps on page 12 for
"Cleaning Nozzle".
Press the Power Button on the left
side of the machine to turn the
machine ON.
Try plugging in a different device that
uses a grounded outlet to test for
power from the outlet.
1. Make sure your tank has the water
and formula in it that you've pre-
pared.
2. With the cap twisted ON tightly,
hold your tank at an angle, over a
sink or drain, so any extra water can
pour out of the space.
3. Wipe the tank dry with a cloth.
