Emptying And Cleaning Dirty Water Tank; Placing Dirty Water Tank In Base Of Cleaner - Dirt Devil Easy Steamer Owner's Manual

EMPTYING AND CLEANING DIRTY WATER TANK:
Diagram 5
Rinse off filter cage.
Your Easy Steamer" Deep Cleaner is equipped with a shut off valve within your dirty water tank. When the dirty water tank becomes
full, the blue float (viewed from top of tank) will rise, shutting off the air flow thru the nozzle.
NOTE: The float in your Easy Steamer" is the blue piece in the dirty water tank lid, and will shut off the suction when the dirty water
tank is full. For best results, use smooth, steady motion keeping the nozzle flat against the carpeting. Tipping the cleaner and breaking
the seal of the nozzle and carpeting will cause the float to rise and shut off the suction. Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water
tank. If the dirty water tank does not appear full, turn the power switch off and wait for the float to settle and reset. If the float repeat-
edly shuts off the suction, empty the dirty water tank. For best results, use only Dirt Devilm Carpet & Rug Shampoo. Other Solutions
may generate excessive foam which will cause the float to rise prematurely and shut off the suction. Use two capfuls (4 ounces) of Dirt
Devilm Carpet & Rug Shampoo per fill up of the clean water reservoir. A higher concentration of shampoo may cause excessive foam-
ing.

latches.
1. Lift front base of cleaner off carpeting with one hand (Diagram 6).
2. Grasp handle and hook front of dirty water tank into base of cleaner, making sure front of dirty water tank is resting on the base
(Diagram 7). The Dirty Water Tank has 3 tabs on the underside which MUST latch into the underside of the base of the cleaner. It is
very important to lift the base of the cleaner off of the carpeting and hook the nozzle to the base so that the nozzle is flush with the
base of the cleaner (Diagram 7a). Failure to install the Dirty Water Tank correctly (Diagram 7b), will result in poor dirty water pickup.
The Dirty Water Tank will need to be emptied once or twice per fill up of the Clean Water Tank.
3. While making sure the front of the dirty water tank is resting on the base, place the rear of the tank into the base of the cleaner.
Push handle down until it latches (Diagram 8).
NOTE: Do not store cleaner with solution in reservoir or dirty water in dirty water tank. Mineral deposits and mildew can form which will
affect the performance of your Easy Steamer.
