extra caution when cleaning on stairs.
Do not place deep cleaner on stairs.
Do not point tools toward people or
pets.
5. Dry hands and plug deep cleaner into
a properly grounded outlet.
6. Turn deep cleaner ON. If necessary,

ing the tool (A) or (B) about one inch
above the carpet and push it forward
while pressing the trigger (equals one
wet stroke).

as described above. End with more dry
strokes to aid in faster drying of carpet.

area. Always end with dry strokes.
If additional cleaning is necessary, wait
until the carpet is completely dry before
using the tool again.
