WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed
for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make certain that the
appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it
should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path
of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical
shock. The cord for this appliance has
an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. It must only be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

Here’s how to do it:
1. Attach the 3” Tough Stain Tool to the handheld
cleaning hose.
2. Plug in the unit and press the power button
beneath the handle to turn it on.
3. Hold the 3” Tough Stain Tool just above the
carpet or upholstery to be cleaned. Press the
trigger to mist solution over the soiled area. For
Deep Stain & 3-N-1 Stair Tool, follow instructions
on page 7.
4. Wait 3-5 minutes before cleaning.

6. To lift the stain away, apply downward
pressure on the tool and slowly pull it toward

dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no
more dirt can be removed.
7. As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not
pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much
moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often
as necessary.
NOTE: Oxy Boost formula will continue to clean
oxidizable stains for 6-8 hours.
WARNING
Keep spray away from face. Failure to do
so may result in personal injury.
IMPORTANT
Check the manufacturer’s tag before
cleaning upholstery. “W” or “WS” on the tag
means you can use your SpotClean. If tag
is coded with an “S” (with diagonal strikethrough), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not
proceed. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or
not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
