Operation
Empty the tank
1. Remove the water tank from the base using
the tank carry handle. Carry the tank like a
bucket to a utility sink or outside where you
will dispose of the collection water. Remove
the top of the tank by rotating the handle
forward to unlatch lid and lifting lid off tank.
2. Empty collection water from bottom of tank.
NOTE: You may notice hair & debris deposits
on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened
by the cleaning action (especially with newer
carpets that have never been deep cleaned
before). This debris should be picked up and
thrown away.
3. After each use, remove and rinse the lint
screen located on the tank lid.
4. Refill the Tank-in-Tank by referencing “Fill
the water tank” on page 9. Remember to
secure the top of the tank by rotating the
handle and test to make sure it is secure
before picking up.
5. Return Tank-in-Tank to the machine.
NOTE: Always check the level of cleaning
formula in the SmartMix tank at the same
time, and refill as needed
Rinse (optional)
Rinsing is an optional step that can be done
during the cleaning process by switching to the
water rinse setting, or it can be done after the
carpeted area has been cleaned.
1. Simply choose the water rinse setting on the
SmartMix dial, and follow the same path as
you did for cleaning, taking care to do a
forward (wet) stroke by depressing the trig-
ger, a backward (wet) stroke, and a forward
and backward (dry) stroke, releasing the
trigger. Continue this until the water you see
coming up the nozzle is clear.
