READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE DEEP CLEANER.

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:

This model is for household use only. Commercial use of this unit voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE USE

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician

or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed

for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment

plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make certain that the

appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as

the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it

should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path

of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical

shock. The cord for this appliance has

an equipment-grounding conductor

and a grounding plug. It must only be

plugged into an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock

due to internal component damage, use

spot cleaners or solvent-based soil removers

also should not be used. These products may

react with the plastic materials used in your

Using the manual trigger spray, apply a sufficient

amount of water and solution to the stain.

manual trigger spray, while the unit is turned on

and you are using the dual PowerBrushes then

suction to clean.

» Check upholstery stung before cleaning.

Colored stung may bleed through the fabric

when it becomes wet.

» When cleaning a vertical surface (ie: chair back,

auto interior, etc.) begin with a completely empty

collection tank.

» If a significant amount of water and solution

remains in the clean tank, your unit can be stored

with liquid in the clean tank.

» If you do not have the Brush Cartridge in all the way,

the Dual PowerBrushes will not rotate. Firmly push

the cartridge in place, while listening for the “snap”

to assure proper placement.

Tips

For Suction Only:

Tilt the unit forward, pressing the front of the

Spot Lifter PowerBrush firmly against the surface

area to be cleaned, lifting the brushes up off the

surface. Pull toward you to remove the soil and

cleaning solution.

NOTE: Step #4 may be repeated until no more

dirty water is removed or until the area to be

cleaned meets your satisfaction.

5. Check the collection tank and empty the tank

if it is full (See To empty the collection tank,

below).

6. If the Spot Lifter PowerBrush stops spraying,

turn off the unit and check the cleaning solution

level in the solution tank. Refill if needed. Never

run the unit without water or cleaning solution.

Spot cleaning upholstery

1. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning.

“W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your

Spot Lifter PowerBrush. If tag is coded with an

“S” (with diagonal strike-through) or states “Dry

Clean Only”, do not proceed.

2. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded,

check with your furniture dealer.

3. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored

stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.
