Wash cleaning

Before cleaning carpets

• 

Make sure that everything you want to wet clean is also suitable 

for wet cleaning. Do not wet clean your sensitive, hand-woven or 

non-fast dyed carpets, for example.

  To check this put a little cleaning agent on a white cloth and rub 

on the carpet at a not too obvious spot. It can be assumed that 

the dye is colourfast should no traces of dye appear on the cloth.

  Should this not be the case do not wet clean the carpet.
  Please consult your specialist carpet dealer should you have any 

doubts.

  Should the carpet have been shampooed earlier on it may well 

be that increased foaming will occur in the waste water tank when 

using the THoMAS PET + FRIENDS T1 for the first time. Add half 

a cup of vinegar to the waste water tank to prevent any further 

foaming.

  Immediately switch off the appliance and empty the waste water 

tank should foam escape from the air outlet.

  When using the THoMAS cleaning agent for thorough cleaning 

there will be no increased foaming because this cleaning agent 

contains a special anti-foaming agent.

  You should not walk over your cleaned carpet as long as it is 

wet.

  The room should be well ventilated both while cleaning and after-

wards to ensure quick drying.

Carpet cleaning

–  Put the 2-piece anti-splash grid together.
–  Draw out the AQUA filter from the waste water tank by the grip, 

remove long hair filter upwards and fit the anti-splash grid.

–  Remove HEPA filter from the appliance.
–  Fit the anti-splash grid and waste water tank on the appliance. 

Make sure that both the wet filter (12a) and the motor protection 

filter (14) are fitted.

–  Remove the fresh water tank for filling (draw tank straight upwards 

and out of the cleaner) or fill up directly in the appliance. In this 

case you have to lift up fresh water tank cover.

When filling make sure that no impurities get 

into the fresh water tank which will prevent the 

closing valve from not functioning properly . 

Fill up with cleaning agent and water through the grip lug 

(max. 2.4 litres).

We recommend 

THOMAS ProTex original cleaning agent

for cleaning carpets.

See label on the cleaning agent bottle for application and 

dosage.

Use hand warm water (max. 30°C).

Connect up suction hose and fit telescopic suction tube.

Push the shut-off valve (24) into the hole in the pipe bend (24a), 

fasten the spray hose on the hose with the hose clips and insert 

in the fast coupling (8) on the appliance.

 Fit carpet spray nozzle, spraying hose to the suction tube with 

fast coupling and move upwards and place on the shut-out 

valve and lock by turning. Afterwards fasten the spray hose 

by means of the two tube clips on the suction tube.

Pull out the mains power supply plug and cable from the 

appliance and connect up.

Switch on appliance and pump. Control lamps come on.

Press the lever on the shut-off valve (24) until the cleaning 

agent escapes. Draw the nozzle straight over the carpet and 

press it down at the same time. Release the valve lever to 

stop spraying at the end of one run or when stopping work. 

When the sprayed liquid has been sucked up, lift the nozzle 

and begin a new run but overlap slightly. In this way you can 

clean the entire area section by section.

Should there still be traces of liquid remaining on the cleaned 

areas this liquid can be sucked up without having to spray 

again.

    Make sure that the mechanical suction controller (25) is 

completely closed.

In the case of very stubborn dirt you can apply cleaning agent 

while moving the carpet spraying nozzle forwards. The same 

treatment can also be applied by just putting the pump into 

operation.

Ensure that you do not spread too much liquid over the carpeting 

since this may cause waves or bumps in the carpet. However, these 

will disappear again after being allowed to dry for a longer period 

of time.

   Empty the waste water tank after you have used up all the 

cleaning agent from the fresh water tank to prevent the 

appliance being switched off automatically.

Should you not observe the above-mentioned instructions the 

float will automatically switch off the appliance as soon as the 

waste water tank is full. (You will clearly hear the motor be 

running at a higher speed.)

Switch off appliance, disconnect the mains plug and empty the 

waste water tank.

hard floor cleaning

Push the hard floor adapter on the carpet spray nozzle.
You can clean your hard floors and dry them in a single operation.
Never wet clean parquet and laminate floors. We expressly draw 

your attention to the cleaning and care instructions of the manufac-

turer of the floor covering. These must be observed without fail.

See carpet cleaning for procedure .

We recommend

floor cleaning.
