N
Pour the cleaning concentrate (29) into the sprayer tank (28)
and fill up with water. (Observe the dosing instructions on the
lable of the ProTex bottle.)
Use lukewarm water (max. 30°C) only. Higher temperatures
can damage not only the appliance, but also the carpet and
upholstery.
L
Detach the cleaning solution tube (37) from its fixture in the
motor block (2).
O While putting the motor block (2) back on the collecting bin, let
the cleaning solution tube (37) dangle down into the cleaning
solution.
D Secure the motor block on the collecting bin by means of both
snap-on fasteners (3).
Connecting the flexible hose and delivery tube
P
Push the shut-off valve (17) in the mount on the hand grip.
Afterwards push the hand grip in the suction tube (14). Now
fasten the pressure hose (19) to the suction hose (13) with the
hose clips (15).
E
Then insert the flexible hose (13) in the suction socket (8) in
such a manner that the markings on both correspond and the
button audibly clicks into place.
Q Subsequently, insert the delivery tube (19) firmly into the
coupling piece (5) on the motor block (2).
S
Fit the carpet spray extraction nozzle (18) onto the suction tube
(14).
T
Mount the pressure hose (12), fasten to the nozzle with the
coupling in the shut-off valve (17) and turn to lock in position.
Afterwards fasten the pressure hose (12) to the suction tube by
means of the smaller tube clips (16).
The control knob on the appliance must be set at "0".
F
Plug the appliance into a mains socket.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Switching on the appliance
U Turn the control knob (7) to the „spray-extraction" symbol.
The pilot lamp (6) should now be lit up.
Place the spray-extraction carpet shampoo nozzle on the carpet
in a corner of the room. Press the control trigger on the handgrip
(11) until cleaning solution sprays onto the carpet. Then slowly
draw back the upright nozzle in a straight line over the carpet.

On completion of a lane or when interrupting operation, release
the trigger to stop the jet spray flow of cleaning solution. When
the sprayed on liquid has been vacuumed off, raise the nozzle
and, with a slight overlap, begin a new lane.
In this way, the entire area can be covered strip by strip.
If there are still traces of liquid on the cleaned strip of carpet,
these areas can be vacuumed over again, but make sure that
the trigger control is released!
As the upper part of the nozzle is transparent, you can judge
for yourself by the colour of the extracted water when to end
the spray-extraction process.
V
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated by turning the control
knob to the „spray only" position. Aim the nozzle at the area
to be treated and press the trigger control to emit a jet spray of
cleaning solution. Leave to work in for a short time, then spray-
extract as described above (remember to turn the control knob
back to the „spray-extraction" position U).
Take care not to spray too much fluid onto the carpet as this
can result in ripples or lumps forming, which only disappear
again after a prolonged drying period. When vacuuming liquids,
avoid spilling the residual liquid in the vacuum hose or tube by
holding the hose or tube up with the motor still running, and
then switch off.
If the carpet has been shampooed before, there may
occur a stronger foam development during the first
use of your sprayextraction system. Should foam
emerge from the air outlet, switch off the appliance
and empty the collecting bin. To avoid further
development of foam, add one cup of vinegar into
the collecting bin.
Increased development of foam is impossible after
having used the appliance with its Original THOMAS
ProTex cleaning solution for one time, since it
includes a special foam stopper.
Do not walk on the carpet while it is still damp.
Washing hard floors
W Slide the hard floor adaptor (22) onto the spray-extraction
carpet shampoo nozzle (18).
Now you can wash and dry smooth ceramic, stone, synthetic or
wooden floors in one single operation.
Never wet clean parquet and laminate floors. In the case of
moist cleaning of floor coverings the cleaning instructions
of the manufacturer of the floor coverings must be
observed without fail.
