Troubleshooting
Stain not completely removed after first pass.
For very stubborn stains, re-apply the solution and allow it to penetrate for a few minutes before scrubbing and extracting. Ensure you are using firm, consistent pressure with the appropriate tool.
Device won't turn on or has no power.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another appliance if unsure. Ensure the power switch on the unit is in the 'ON' position.
Suction seems weak or dirty water isn't being collected.
Check if the dirty water tank is full and empty it if necessary. Ensure the clean water/solution tanks are not empty. Inspect the hose and tools for any blockages or debris, and use the Hose-Cleaning Tool to clear them. Ensure all attachments are securely fitted.
Unpleasant odor coming from the cleaner.
This often indicates residue or dirt buildup in the hose or tanks. Thoroughly clean both the dirty water tank and the hose using the included Hose-Cleaning Tool after each use. Ensure tanks are completely dry before storage.
