CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTS

L’utilisation d’un appareil électrique sous-entend l’observation de certaines règles de sécurité élémentaires:

LIRE TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER L’ASPIRATEUR.

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour réduire les risques de feu, de secousse électrique ou de blessure:

• Ne pas immerger. Utiliser uniquement sur un tapis mouillé par le dispositif de nettoyage.

• Ne pas utiliser à l’extérieur. Ne pas exposer à la pluie.

• Utiliser uniquement des produits nettoyants offerts sur le marché pour l’application à la machine.

• Ne pas s’absenter tant que l’aspirateur est branché. Éteindre l’appareil et le débrancher lorsqu’on ne s’en sert plus et

avant son entretien.

• Veiller à ce que l’aspirateur ne serve pas de jouet, particulièrement si l’usager est un enfant ou si l’on s’en sert près d’un

enfant.

• Ne s’en servir que selon la description qu’en donne le guide. N’employer que les accessoires que recommande le fabricant.

• Ne pas s’en servir si le cordon ou la fiche sont abîmés. Avant de se servir de l’aspirateur, le retourner à un centre de

réparation s’il ne fonctionne pas comme il faut, s’il est tombé ou abîmé, si on l’a laissé dehors ou laissé tomber dans l’eau.

• Ne pas le tirer ou le transporter par le cordon, ne pas se servir du cordon comme d’une poignée, ne pas coincer le cordon

en fermant une porte et ne pas tirer le cordon sur des encoignures ou des bordures pointues. Ne pas passer l’aspirateur

sur le cordon. Éloigner le cordon des surfaces chauffées.

• Branchez toujours l’aspirateur dans une prise à trois (mise à la terre).

• Ne pas se servir de cordons de rallonge ou de prises d’intensité admissible mal adaptée aux besoins.

• Éteindre complètement l’aspirateur avant de le débrancher.

• Ne pas tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher l’aspirateur. Le débrancher en tirant sur la fiche et non sur le cordon.

CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for

electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician

or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A.

A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole

receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly

grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from

the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter

is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

INSTRUCTIONS VISANT LA MISE À TERRE

Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas défaillance ou de panne éventuelles, la mise à la terre fournit au courant un chemin

de moindre résistance qui réduit le risque de choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur de

terre et d’une fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée dans une prise appropriée correctement installée et mise

à la terre conformément aux règlements et ordonnances municipaux.

AVERTISSEMENT

Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique. Consulter un électricien ou un technicien

d’entretien qualifié si vous n’êtes pas certain que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie

avec l’appareil-si elle ne eput être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié.

Note. Au Canada, l’utilisation d’un adaptateur temporaire n’est pas autorisée par le Code canadien de l’électricité.

Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120V et est muni d’une fiche de mise à la terre semblable à celle illustrée par le Figure

A. S’assurer que l’appareil est branché à une prise de courant ayant la même configuration que la fiche. Aucun adaptateur ne

devrait être utilisé avec cet appareil.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NOTE: Thoroughly clean carpet, upholstery and stairs with a vacuum cleaner before using the Carpet Shampooer/

Extractor. Also, sweep any hard surface floors before using the carpet shampooer/extractor.

Automatic Suction Shut-Off

The automatic suction shut-off functions when the recovery tank is full of liquid. As the tank fills, the ball float (inside the

recovery tank) rises until it seats itself against the motor. This shuts off the suction causing the motor sound to become high

pitch. When this happens, empty the recovery tank.

The automatic suction shut-off also functions if the carpet shampooer/extractor tips over. To continue use, turn the Carpet

Shampooer/Extractor OFF and set it upright. Wait a few seconds to allow the motor to come to a complete stop. Restart the

Carpet Shampooer/Extractor.

II. PREPARING THE CARPET

BEFORE CLEANING

Vacuum Carpet

NOTE: Never use this carpet shampooer/

extractor as a standard vacuum cleaner.

For best results, vacuum carpets with a

vacuum cleaner that has a brush roll. The

bristles of the brush roll help loosen and

remove soil that is deep in the carpet nap.

(1.) Pretest for Color Fastness

Before cleaning the carpet, we recommend testing

the carpet for color fastness. Moisten a white towel

with the cleaning solution. Test a small hidden area

of the carpet in a closet or in a corner. Gently rub the

cloth over the carpet. Check each color. If the towel

does not pick up any color, it should be safe to use

the cleaning solution on the entire area. See page

13 for additional information.

(2.) Remove Furniture

Remove as much furniture from the room as possible.

Place aluminum foil or plastic film under or around

the legs and bases of the remaining furniture to

prevent stains. Leave the foil or plastic in place until

the carpet is completely dry. Use masking tape or

pins to hold furniture skirts and draperies up out of

the way.

Helpful Hints for Deep-Cleaning Carpet

Follow the instructions in this owner’s guide. Here are a

few extra hints that will make deep-cleaning carpet easier.

• Before you begin using the carpet shampooer/

extractor, vacuum carpet thoroughly.

• Do not use the carpet shampooer/extractor for dry

vacuuming as this can damage the unit.

• Allow plenty of time to thoroughly deep-clean carpets.

Rushing the cleaning job may give poor results.

• To speed drying time, deep-clean carpets during dry

periods of the year or when the heating system is in

operation.

• Use consistent forward and reverse strokes over the

carpet surface.

• Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork and wood

furniture immediately to prevent damage to the wood

or upholstery.

• Fluff damp fibers against the nap after wet cleaning

to help the drying and prevent matting.

• Ventilate the room while cleaning to speed drying.

• Try not to walk on carpets until they are dry.

• If the carpet shampooer/extractor is difficult to push

when operating, try pushing the cleaner at a different

90 degree angle so it moves with the grain and not

against the grain of the carpet fibers.

Consult a professional cleaner before wet cleaning

Oriental rugs.

After Cleaning

• Allow carpets to dry thoroughly. Try to keep children

and pets off the carpet until it is completely dry.

• Use towels or white cloths to step on if you must walk

on the area before it is dry.

• If furniture must be placed back in the room before

the carpet is dry, use aluminum foil or plastic under

the furniture legs to prevent staining the carpet.

VI. HOW TO PREPARE THE CARPET

SHAMPOOER/EXTRACTOR FOR

UPHOLSTERY AND STAIR

CLEANING

(only for models with an attachment hose and

upholstery/stair cleaning nozzle)

Vacuum Upholstery or Stairs

Vacuum upholstery and stairs with a vacuum cleaner’s

attachment tool. Use a crevice tool for hard to reach areas

such as tufts and corners.

IMPORTANT: Cleaning some upholstery fabrics

with a wet cleaning solution may

damage the fabric. Know what the

fabric content is and how to clean

it before using a cleaning solution

on upholstery fabrics.

Most manufacturers care code their fabrics with cleaning

methods. Some very delicate and unusual fabrics are DRY

CLEAN ONLY. If in doubt of the fabric type, call a dealer or

take a cushion or arm cover to a dealer for advice.

Check the stuffing material if possible

Look inside the cushions or on the underneath side. If filling

is a dark color, it may bleed through and discolor the fabric.

Most stuffing material that is white to light yellow is colorfast

and will not bleed colors through to the fabric covering.

Test clean a hidden area

Be sure to test clean a hidden area several hours before

starting to clean. Let the test area dry completely. Inspect

for changes in color, bleeding, stretching, or shrinking. Test

another area if in doubt.

Pretest for Color Fastness

Before cleaning the upholstery, we recommend testing it

for color fastness. Moisten a white towel with the cleaning

solution. Test a small area of the cushion back. Gently rub

the cloth over the area. Check each area for color bleeding.

If the towel does not pick up any color, it should be safe to

use the cleaning solution on the entire area.

Fabric Code Ratings:

• W for wet clean.

• S-W for solvent-dry or wet clean.

• S for solvent-dry clean only. Do not wet clean.

VII. HOW TO USE THE CARPET SHAMPOOER/EXTRACTOR FOR UPHOLSTERY

OR STAIR CLEANING

(only for models with an Attachment Hose and Upholstery/Stair

Cleaning Nozzle)

NOTE: Use extra caution when cleaning on stairs.

To prevent the carpet shampooer/extractor from falling, do not place the unit on stairs. It is suggested that the carpet
