Choose the SmartMix setting that fits the
cleaning job.
• Water Only – use for gentle cleaning
or for the final rinse after cleaning.
• Normal – automatically provides the
best mix of water and concentrate for most
cleaning jobs.
• High Traffic – automatically mixes the right
amounts of water and concentrate to
dissolve tough grime and heavy soil.
NOTE: Residual cleaning materials left in carpet from
other products may cause excessive foaming
when picked up. If foam is overflowing tank,
move SmartMix dial to “Water Only” position
until the condition stops.
The powered brush roll at the floor nozzle is designed
to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern
lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming
carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to
all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave
the power switch ON. When the machine handle is in
the fully upright position, CarpetSaver
™
automatically
raises the brush off the carpet.
The Tank-in Tank is designed with a bladder inside for
clean water. As you clean, the bladder will empty. Dirty
water collects in the tank outside the bladder.
Step on handle release to lay the machine handle down
out of the way.
Lift the Tank-in-Tank ™ handle. The handle locks the lid in place.
Carry it like a bucket to fill at the sink.
Set the tank down and rotate the handle forward
to unlatch the lid. Lift off and set the lid aside.
NOTE: Both the SmartMix Tank and the clean water
tank must have liquid in them in order for the
machine to spray. If one tank is empty the machine
will not apply either cleaning solution or water
only. If you’re using the WATER ONLY setting, fill the
SmartMix
® Tank with water also.
NOTE: You may notice hair and debris deposits on
the carpet that were loosened by the brushing action
(Especially with newer carpets that have never been
deep cleaned before). This debris should be picked
up by hand and thrown away. Debris that deposits
in the Brush Belt area should be cleaned out
between uses to keep the Belts running free.
