[. . . ] For machines with double insulation (see symbol on specifications label) earthing is not necessary. Always disconnect the appliance from mains outlet when not in use or before any maintenance or care operation. Do not tug on the power cord to disconnect the appliance from mains outlet. Do not run the appliance over the power cord as this may damage the insulation. [. . . ] To do this, proceed as follows: if for example the quantities recommended are 1 par t shampoo to 20 parts water, fill the tank marked with the symbol with water, checking the level on the indicator located on the outside of the tank (fig. 8) to notch 9 (corresponding to approx. 2 l. ) and then top up to the Max level with shampoo. 2 Remove the curved steel handle by moving the ends out of the slots (first one side, then the other) (fig. 3). 3 Remove the diffuser cone from inside the tank. Pour around 2 litres of water into the tank; replace the diffuser cone, attach the steel handle and replace the motor unit (fig. 4). 5 GB 2-01-2003 14:50 Pagina 6 7 11 11B Fit the two extension tubes (25), connecting one end to the hose handgrip and the other end to the transparent "wash-dry" attachment (26). To make cleaning with the extension tubes easier, fit them with the extra handgrip (38) (fig. 12). 8 Fit selector (9) to the motor unit, pushing it in until in place (fig. 9). 12 Connect solution dispenser (previously fitted to the "wash-dr y" attachment) to the hose handgrip, and attach the clips to the extension tubes (fig. 13). 9 The selector knob lets you select either extraction cleaning or rinsing. The symbol on the selector indicates plain water only (rinsing) whilst the symbol indicates the shampoo + water solution (extraction cleaning) (fig. 10). 13 Your extractor cleaner is now ready to clean carpets and rugs. ELECTRONIC MODEL Models equipped with electronic suction control have a selector to adjust suction power to the type of fabric to be cleaned or the dirt to be removed during extraction cleaning or other operations (fig. 14). 10 Connect the flexible hose (1) to the suction inlet, rotating the coupling clockwise (bayonet joint). Connect solution injector (22) into the tank, pressing it in until it clicks in place (fig. 11). Attach solution dispenser to the flexible hose using the plastic clips (19) ( fig. 11B). 6 14 GB 2-01-2003 14:50 Pagina 7 OPERATING THE APPLIANCE Extraction cleaning The shampoo solution is sucked up from the tank by a pump and sprayed through a nozzle onto the surface to be cleaned; the shampoo penetrates the fibres, dissolving even the most stubborn dirt. The transparent wash-dry attachment vacuums up the dirty water, which is then collected in the wet tank, leaving the surface clean and almost dry. Extraction cleaning deep-cleans rugs, carpets, fabrics and floors, restoring their colour, improving their appearance and making them last longer. NOTICE: noise level. After setting up your machine, you may notice an increase of the noise level for a few seconds. This is not due to a defect in the machine but to the water starting to circulate for the first time. Should the noise continue for more than 15 seconds, check that the suction inlet tube is correctly connected to the motor unit. When the water in the tank runs out, the noise level will increase once again. At this point, switch off the machine and proceed to refill the tank as described in the instruction booklet. Important: the pump noise level acts as an acoustic warning that the water in the tank has run out. Window cleaning attachment (where supplied) For instructions on how to use this attachment, refer to the instructions supplied with it (fig. 15). 15 Plug in the appliance. CAUTION: never press the pump button when the shampoo solution tank is empty or when the cleaner is being used as a wet or dry vacuum cleaner. In the event that the pump is used incorrectly (appliance operated without shampoo for more than 15 minutes) a safety device automatically shuts off the pump to prevent damage. When this happens, wait 30 minutes before starting up the appliance again. 16 General tips 1 To remove par ticularly stubbor n dir t, proceed as follows: - Tur n the selector (9) to extraction cleaning . - Depress the pump button only and use the spray trigger (16) to spray shampoo solution on the surface to be treated. - Wait one or two minutes to allow the shampoo to soak in completely. 7 GB 2-01-2003 14:50 Pagina 8 - Press the on/off switch which activates the extraction function and pass over the surface operating only the extraction function (do not use the dispenser lever) (16). - Rinse the surface, following the instructions given in the paragraph headed "RINSING OPERATIONS ". 2 To deep-clean heavily soiled surfaces with large quantities of debris and/or dust (crumbs, soil, coffee powder, etc. ), proceed as follows: a) begin by dr y-vacuuming following the instructions contained in the "Dry vacuum" section; b) after you have removed most of the dust and debris, proceed with extraction cleaning to deep-clean the surface. [. . . ] Make sure that the polyurethane foam filter (35) is fitted on the motor housing (21) fig. 2. Fit the cleaning attachment most suited to the type of operation to be performed onto either the extension tube or directly onto the handgrip. Use the crevice nozzle, multipurpose nozzle and the transparent wash-dry attachments with or without squeegee (27). Owing to their par ticular composition, polyurethane foam filters deteriorate rapidly if not washed after each use. 10 GB 2-01-2003 14:50 Pagina 11 Periodically replace the microfilters located inside the exhaust port hatches on motor unit (fig. 26). To facilitate storage of the appliance, use the method illustrated in fig. [. . . ]
