 - If the carpet (or par t of it) merely requires freshening up, you do not need to apply a lot of 

shampoo.

 - It is probably sufficient to only apply shampoo when you make the first stroke towards you.

 - Then release the trigger and move the nozzle over the cleaned area a few times without 

applying shampoo.

Deep cleaning

 - For thorough cleaning of a ver y dir ty carpet or par t of a carpet, move the nozzle over the area 

to be cleaned a few times while you apply shampoo.

3 

Extra thorough cleaning

 - For extra thorough cleaning of badly soiled areas or stubborn stains, switch off the motor but 

keep the pump running.

 - Squeeze the trigger to apply shampoo.

 - Allow the shampoo to act on the area for several minutes before you switch on the motor 

again to suck up the shampoo.

 - Be careful not to apply too much shampoo, as this may damage the carpet.

Carpet shampooing tips

 - Never shampoo floors that are not water-resistant. If you are in doubt, contact the supplier of 

the carpet.

 - Do not shampoo delicate fabrics and handwoven or non-colourfast carpets.

 - Test the colourfastness of your carpet by pouring some shampoo dissolved in water onto a 

white cloth. Then rob the cloth onto a normally hidden par t of the carpet. If there are no traces 

of dye on the cloth, the carpet is probably colourfast.

 - However, if dye comes off onto the cloth, do not shampoo the carpet. If you are in doubt, 

contact a specialist.

 - Vacuum the whole area thoroughly before you star t shampooing.

 - Make sure that the room is well-aired during and after shampooing to allow better and quicker 

dr ying.

 - Allow the carpet to dr y well before walking on it again: freshened-up areas normally require 30 

minutes to dr y, whereas deep-cleaned sections require approximately 2 hours to dr y. Of course, 

the dr ying times also depend upon the amount of shampoo applied, temperature, air humidity 

and ventilation.

 - The transparent nozzles (the double-injection nozzle and the upholster y nozzle) let 

you determine if the carpet or hard floor is clean. Simply look at the colour of the extracted 

solution.

shampooing hard floors

 - The 3-purpose click-on hard floor adapter for the double-injection nozzle consists of three 

familiar cleaning tools: (Fig. 40)

1 

a brush to release sticky dir t from the floor ;

2 

a sponge to release, distribute and rub in the shampoo;

3 

a squeegee to collect the shampoo from the floor so that it can be vacuumed.

  1 

 Snap the hard floor adapter onto the double-injection shampoo nozzle (Fig. 41).

  2 

 Start as far away from the door as possible and then work your way towards the door.

  3 

 Apply shampoo by squeezing the trigger on the handgrip of the tube. To scrub effectively, just 

make back-and-forth strokes as you do with a regular vacuum cleaner. Normally it is 

sufficient to only apply shampoo while you move the nozzle forwards (Fig. 42).

Note: Do not make very long strokes.

  4 

 To dry the floor, just move the nozzle backwards slowly. Make sure that only the squeegee 

touches the floor and do not apply shampoo (Fig. 43).
