three months. If your filters are washable make sure that they are completely dry before inserting them back into the cleaner.

will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the carpet washer from the electrical outlet and and turn off the switch.
Check the hose for blockages. Clean the filters. Allow the unit to cool for approximately one hour (if you have cleaned the filters

plug it into an electrical outlet and switch it back on.
