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.

A. Vacuum Carpet
NOTE: Never use this extractor as a standard
vacuum cleaner.
For best results, vacuum carpets with a vacuum
cleaner that has an agitator. The bristles of the
agitator help loosen and remove soil that is deep in
the carpet nap.
B. 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 9
for additional information.
C. 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 ownerʼs guide. Here are a few
extra hints that will make deep-cleaning carpet easier.
• Before you begin using the extractor, vacuum carpet
thoroughly.
• Do not use the extractor for dry vacuuming as this
can damage the unit.
• Use consistent forward and reverse strokes over the
carpet surface.
• Ventilate the room while cleaning to speed drying.
• 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.
Do Not Use on 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.
• Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork and wood
furniture immediately to prevent damage to the wood
or upholstery.
• 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.
