of the product after use and may puddle. To
avoid damage to wood and laminate flooring and
to avoid potential slip hazard, after use (a) do not
leave the product on wood and laminate surfac-
es and remove to a hard surface and (b) place
unit on absorbent material (such as a towel) to
soak up drips.
To avoid walking on damp carpet, start at the end of
the room farthest from the door or path to sink

step 1
3.1 Set Wash/Rinse Setting switch to Wash. Turn
cleaner ON.
3.2 Squeeze trigger to apply cleaning solution and
slowly push cleaner forward (equals one wet
stroke).
Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull cleaner
back toward you (second wet stroke).
step 2
Release trigger and slowly push cleaner forward
over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke).
Then slowly pull cleaner back toward you without
squeezing trigger (dry stroke). Continue using dry
strokes until little water is visible passing through
the Dirty Water Tank lid (Pass over the same area a
minimum of 4 times = 2 while squeezing the trigger
and 2 without).
For best results, use straight, parallel strokes.
Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help prevent streaking.
Keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward and
reverse strokes.
3.3 If you would like to rinse the carpet with water
only, set Wash/Rinse Setting switch to RINSE.
Repeat cleaning motion. In this setting, rinsing will
be done on both forward and reverse strokes.
Actual model may vary from images shown.

For heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning motion.
Avoid saturating carpet.
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as
described above.
For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying
of carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue
using dry strokes until little water is visible passing
through the Dirty Water Tank lid.)
Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound
becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in
suction (see "Automatic shut-off", Fig. 2.19).
When finished cleaning, follow "After Cleaning"
instructions on page 12.
IMPORTANT
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more
than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end
with dry strokes.
