C-5 ReadyTools™
Your deep cleaner comes equipped with
a hose and at least one attachment for
cleaning stairs, upholstery, and more.
Important! If using the machine to clean
upholstery, check upholstery tags.
1. Check manufacturer's tag before cleaning.
"W" or "WS" on the tag means you can use
your deep cleaner. If the tag is coded with
"X" or "S" (with a diagonal strike through),
or says "Dry Clean Only," do not proceed. Do
not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer's
tag is missing or not coded, check with your
furniture dealer.
2. Check for colourfastness in an
inconspicuous place.
3. If possible, check upholstery stuffing.
Coloured stuffing may bleed through fabric
when wet.
4. Plan activities to give upholstery time to
dry.
5. Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose
debris and pet hair. Use a vacuum with a
brush attachment and a crevice tool to clean
in fabric folds and tufts.
6. To begin cleaning with attachments,
follow the instructions in section C-1 for
filling the 2-in-1 water tank.

to turn, the diverter assembly that holds the
dial may need to be cleaned. To clean, first
remove nozzle and locate screw that holds
the diverter assembly in place. With a Phillips
screwdriver, remove the screw and set aside.
16. Remove diverter assembly; hold under
running water making sure water flows
through and around the dial. Turn the dial
about 10 times clockwise and 10 more
times counter clockwise. This should free
up any debris.

and replace back on machine. Replace
