For best results, a few simple steps can assure

cleaning is complete.

residual solution.

tap water.
b. Recline the handle and press the spray
trigger for 15 seconds while making forward
and backward passes on carpet. Release the
trigger to suction. Repeat for another 15 sec-
onds. Continue without pressing the trigger
until there is no more water being suctioned.
2. Push the power button to turn the machine
off. Unplug the machine and wrap the power
cord. empty the 2-in-1 water tank.
3. Rinse out 2-in-1 water tank with hot tap water,
taking care to clean underneath the heavy duty
bladder and all around it.
4. The top half of the tank can be rinsed clean
through the nozzle area. Clear the red filter of
any debris that may have accumulated.
5. Keeping the 2-in-1 water tank off the base of
the machine, simply remove the floor nozzle by
turning the locking keys (see image for location)
to the "unlock" position and lift up. Rinse the
floor nozzle at the faucet.

the brush rolls and thrown away. For the most

used, remove from hose and rinse under clean,
running water. Dry and replace attachment in the
hose rack. Clean the hose by suctioning clean
water from the tap. before replacing, lift end
of hose and stretch out to ensure all water is
cleared from hose. Refer to page 9.

screws on the back of the diverter housing. Take
the diverter housing to a sink and rinse it with
