Cleaning Your Carpet

1. Plug into a properly grounded outlet.

2. Select cleaning mode:

• Max Clean - Provides a heavy cleaning for your dirtiest carpets. After cleaning, it’s estimated the carpets will need 8 hours to dry.
• Deep Clean - Delivers a deep clean to your carpet.
• Express Clean - Provides a lighter clean with about a 30-minute dry time. Recommended Cleaning Pace: 12 inches per second.

3. Press the Power Button to turn the machine ON.

4. To recline your machine for use, press the Recline Pedal with your foot.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to Berber carpets, avoid repeated strokes in the same area.

Express Clean Mode:

1. Press the Spray Trigger to apply solution while making 2 wet passes - 1 forward and 1 back.
2. Release the trigger.
3. Make 2 dry passes - 1 forward, 1 back to suck up the dirty solution. (Do not hold down the trigger for this step.)

Recommended Cleaning Pace: 12 inches per second

Max Clean & Deep Clean Modes:

1. Press the Spray Trigger to apply solution while making 2 slow wet passes - 1 forward and 1 back.
2. Release the trigger.
3. Make 2 slow dry passes - 1 forward and 1 back to suck up the dirty solution. (Do not hold down the trigger for this step.)

Antibacterial Cleaning (Deep Clean Mode Only)

2. Release the trigger.
3. Make 1 slow dry pass back, to suck up the dirty solution. (Do not hold down the trigger for this step.)

• Max Clean Mode is intended for your dirtiest carpeted areas. Please note that your carpets will need an estimated 8 hours to dry. To expedite the drying process, place a fan in the room or near the carpet.
• In Express Clean Mode, the Dirty Water Tank will not get as full as when cleaning with Deep or Max Clean Mode.
• It is common to refill the Clean Water Tank and empty the Dirty Water Tank multiple times throughout your cleaning process. Room size and the speed at which you clean are both factors that affect how often the tank may need to be refilled and/or emptied.

Cleaning with Hose & Tool

1. Lift the Accessory Hose Door on top of Foot on the front of the machine. The door flips toward the machine to open.

2. Insert the hose and snap into place. Be sure the redcolored hose release clip is facing out, away from machine.

3. Attach the tool to the end of the hose. (Tools may vary by model.) Press the Power Button to turn machine ON.

4. Press the Spray Trigger to spray the soiled area, then slowly move tool back and forth over the area. Release the trigger to suck up the dirty solution. Work in small sections until the area is clean.

• When finished cleaning, turn the machine ON to suction up warm clean water to rinse the inside of the hose and tool.
• Detach the hose and tool and close the Accessory Hose Door. Let the hose and tool air dry before storing.

— Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts. Brush Roll continues to rotate when in the upright position.

— Brush Roll continues to turn while product is turned ON and handle is in upright position. To avoid damage to carpet, rugs, furniture, and flooring, avoid tipping cleaner or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs, or carpeted stairs during tool use.

— The Brush Roll remains on while cleaning with the hose and tool. Do not allow cleaner to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to floor can result.

NOTE: If using the Deep Reach Tool or Pet Stain Tool be sure the needles of the tool are pressed down into the carpet so the spray gets into the carpet fibers.

Cleaning with CleanShot®

1. Press the CleanShot Button with your foot. The window of the button will be green and show an “I” symbol when it is on.

2. Spray will continue until you turn it off. To turn CleanShot off, press the button with your foot. The window of the button will be red and show an “O” symbol when it is off.

Completely cover the stain with CleanShot spray. Allow the stain to soak. To extract, maneuver the Foot of the machine over the stain to scrub and remove. Continue to clean over the area multiple times for extra scrubbing and suction.

Using the 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool

Make sure your Clean Water Tank has water & formula to use the tool in wet mode.

DRY MODE NOTE: Use a “raking” motion to clean. Start with the tool farthest away and rake in small increments as you bring the tool toward you. The rubber nubs will help attract hair to the suction channel.

WET MODE NOTE: Start from the area farthest away. Hold the trigger down, and pull the tool toward you. Keep the tool in contact with the surface as you pull. You will see extraction through the Nozzle.

Cleaning Area Rugs

IMPORTANT: Please check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning area rugs for any specialized cleaning instructions. We do not recommend deep cleaning delicate, silk, wool, antique, or area rugs without a manufacturer’s tag.

Regularly clean your high-traffic area rugs in Express Clean Mode:

• Check the manufacturer’s tag.
• Select Express Clean Mode.
• When cleaning area rugs, place the rug on a sealed surface to test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area. Your cleaner should not be used on unsealed surfaces.
• Important: Keep the Foot of the deep cleaner perpendicular to the rug’s edge with each cleaning pass to prevent damage.
• Recommended Cleaning Pace: 12 inches per second

Maintenance

Emptying the Dirty Water Tank

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, turn power OFF and disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting.

4. For quick empty: Pull the Rubber Tab and tilt to pour. (Located at the corner of the top of the tank.) When closing the Rubber Tab, make sure all edges are sealed tight.

For final clean and rinse: Unscrew the ring at the bottom of tank. Gently remove the float stack, rinse, and clean. Once clean, return Float Stack into the tank by lining up the arrows so they point at each other. This is the only way the float stack will fit into the tank. With the arrows aligned, the Float Stack should lock into place. Return the ring and twist to lock. Water may leak if the ring is not fully tightened.

5. Clean the red filter below the tank by wiping off any remaining dirt or debris.

6. To return the tank: Angle the tank and insert bottom first. Then tilt the tank toward the machine and push the top in until it clicks into place.

Did You Know? The Float Stack is what prevents your dirty tank from overflowing.

Cleaning Machine After Use
