T Place the spray-extraction carpet shampoo nozz-
le on the carpet in a corner of the room. Press
the control trigger (40) on the handgrip (11) until
cleaning solution sprays onto the carpet. Then
slowly draw back the upright nozzle in a straight
line over the carpet.
On completion of a lane or when interrupting
operation, release the trigger to stop the jet
spray flow of cleaning solution. When the spray-
ed on liquid has been vacuumed off, raise the
nozzle and, with a slight overlap, begin a new
lane.
In this way, the entire area can be covered strip
by strip.
If there are still traces of liquid on the cleaned
strip of carpet, these areas can be vacuumed
over again, but make sure that the trigger con-
trol (40) is released!
As the upper part of the nozzle is transparent,
you can judge for yourself by the colour of the
extracted water when to end the spray-extrac-
tion process.
V Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated by turning
the control knob to the „spray only" position. Aim
the nozzle at the area to be treated and press
the trigger control to emit a jet spray of cleaning
solution. Leave to work in for a short time, then
spray-extract as described above (remember to
turn the control knob back to the „spray-extrac-
tion” position U).
Take care not to spray too much fluid onto the
carpet as this can result in ripples or lumps for-
ming, which only disappear again after a prolon-
ged drying period. When vacuuming liquids,
avoid spilling the residual liquid in the vacuum
hose or tube by holding the hose or tube up with
the motor still running, and then switch off.
Important!
• If the carpet has been shampooed
before, there may occur a stronger foam
development during the first use of your
spray-extraction system. Should foam
emerge from the air outlet, switch off the
appliance and empty the collecting bin.
To avoid further development of foam,
add one cup of vinegar into the collecting
bin.
Increased development of foam is
impossible after having used the
THOMAS SUPER 30 S Aquafilter with its
Original Thomas ProTex cleaning
solution for one time, since it includes a
special foam stopper.
• Do not walk on the carpet while it is still
damp.
W
Slide the hard floor adaptor (22) onto the spray-
extraction carpet shampoo nozzle (18).
Now you can wash and dry smooth ceramic, sto-
ne, synthetic or wooden floors in one single ope-
ration.
X To shampoo upholstery or car seats, use the
spray-extraction upholstery shampoo nozzle (20).
Take care not to apply too much fluid to uphol-
stery as, depending on the type of padding, a
lengthy drying period can be expected.
The spray-extraction upholstery shampoo nozzle
(20) is fitted directly onto the spray diffusor con-
trol (17). The delivery tube is secured at the valve
by turning the coupling piece (39).
Detach the delivery tube (12) by turning the cou-
pling piece (39).
Operate as described under “Carpet sham-
pooing”.
Pull out the plug.
R Before removing the motor block (2), detach the
delivery tube (19). Press the release button on the
quick-action coupling (5). The connecting rod is
ejected automatically.
A Remove the vacuum cleaner's motor head (2)
and place onto shallow container to avoid
getting the intended surface dirty from residual
water.
B Take out the extraction liquid tank (28) and
empty. (Any unused cleaning solution can be
stored in a suitable receptacle.) Empty the
collecting bin (1) and wash out thoroughly.
O
Care for the pump and valves by filling the
extraction liquid tank with clear water, putting it in
the collecting bin and replacing the motor block (2).
Operate the spray-system on a smooth floor or over
the sink.
Subsequently, clean both receptacles and leave the
dismantled parts to dry thoroughly.
