Ensure both tanks are securely sealed after filling․ Avoid overfilling the clean water tank to prevent overflow․ Regularly check the dirty water tank’s fill level during operation and empty it as needed․
Operating Instructions
Proper operation involves selecting the correct cleaning mode‚ utilizing the Quick Clean tool for spot treatments‚ and effectively cleaning upholstery and stairs․
Selecting the Appropriate Cleaning Mode

Switch to ‘Deep Clean’ for intensified cleaning power‚ ensuring thorough removal․
For delicate surfaces like area rugs‚ the ‘Gentle’ mode offers a milder cleaning action‚ preventing damage․ The ‘Rinse’ option is crucial for removing detergent residue‚ leaving carpets fresh and clean․ Always assess the carpet type and soil level before selecting a mode for optimal results and to protect your flooring․
