Note:

• Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with Tineco Pretreat Cleaning Solutions to achieve better cleaning effect. Follow Directions on bottle.
• The carpet cleaner differs from the traditional vacuum cleaner.
• In all modes, it blows hot air, whose temperature is 158-176°F (70-80°C). * Appropriate temperature is conducive to dissolve the dirt and helps surfactant in the solution to decompose the dirt.
• In AUTO/MAX mode, it sprays water when moving forward and stops spraying when moving backward.
• Take a spot test on a small and marginal area of the carpet for colorfastness. Gently rub surface with a damp white cloth. Then wait for ten minutes and check for color removal.
• During use, don't keep the appliance at a resting position for a long time.
• Important: Keep the foot of the deep cleaner perpendicular to the rug's edge with each cleaning pass to prevent damage.
• Important! Please check manufacturer's tag before cleaning area rugs for any specialized cleaning instructions. It's not advisable to perform deep cleaning on delicate, silk, wool, antique or area rugs without a manufacturer's tag.
• Some Loop Berber carpets, Natural Fiber (including silk and wool), and Soft Fiber carpets can fuzz with wear. Some vacuums & carpet cleaners can worsen this carpet wear. If cleaning on Berber, Natural Fiber, or Soft Fiber carpeting, first test on a small hidden area of carpet by running the carpet washer over it. If no fuzzing or overwetting occurs, continue cleaning. Avoid overwetting Berber carpets. If you have any questions or concerns, consult with your carpet manufacturer on deep cleaning recommendations.
• Avoid using it on rugs or carpets that require dry cleaning.
• For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your Tineco Carpet Washer only if the upholstery fabric is marked with a "W" (for "wet" clean) or "S/W" (for "solvent/dry" or "wet" clean). Do not clean fabric marked "S" ("solvent/dry" clean only). If your upholstery does not have a code, seek professional assistance.
• Test for colorfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden area, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait for ten minutes and check for color removal.
