POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
1. The Reusable Bottle is not firmly inserted into the unit. Make sure that you hear an audible
"Click" when you insert the Reusable Bottle into the appliance.
2. There may be air in the system. Hold down the spray button for 5 to 10 seconds to flush the
system.
1. Make sure that the Reusable Bottle is inserted all the way in. You should hear an audible
"Click" when inserted.
2. Check that there is enough cleaning solution in the Reusable Bottle. If not, add more.
3. The bottle cap on the Reusable Bottle may need to be cleaned. Remove it from the Reusable
Bottle and rinse it under running water and then replace it onto the Reusable Bottle.
4. There may be air in the system. Hold down the spray button for 5 to 10 seconds until solution
comes out of the spray nozzle.
1. The Sonic Duo™ automatically turns off when the handle is lowered to low. This is a
safety mechanism to ensure that the machine will turn off if it is dropped. To keep the Sonic
Duo™ on when cleaning under low profile items, simply twist the handle to the left or right
and engage the swivel. When the handle is swivelled and lowered, the Sonic Duo™ will
remain on.
1. To remove the cap, hold center valve of the cap with your fingers and gently pull it out. If it
doesn't come out easily, use a set of long nose pliers for leverage. Be careful not to crack the
center valve when applying pressure and lifting up.
This unit is equipped with an automatic protector. If for some reason your appliance
overheats, the protector will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, perform
the following steps to restart the appliance:
1. Move the switch to the "O" (Off) position.
2. Unplug.
3. Allow the unit to cool for around 45 minutes.
4. Plug in.
5. Turn the switch on to restart.
