Putting into practical use
n Mix cleaning agent (RM) and clean water
thoroughly in a clean container in accordance
with the instructions (Fig. 3).
n Fill fresh-water tank up to the “Max.” line, but
not above this (Fig 4).
Note: Warm water increases cleaning efficiency
(max. 50 ° C).
n Place dirty-water container in the housing and
put the lid on.
n Put power plug in the socket.
n Switch on unit with the “Suction” and “Spray”
buttons (Fig. 5).
n To spray - press lever on grip section and
keep it pressed. By doing so the cleaning
solution is sprayed on and in the same
process is vacuumed up (Fig. 6).
n Go over the surface to be cleaned in
overlapping strips with the relevant nozzle,
put on the nozzle and work backwards
(Fig. 6).
n When the dirty-water reservoir is full or the
fresh-water tank is empty, it is essential to
turn the unit of f with the “Suction” and “Spray”
buttons.
n Remove cover , take out dirty-water reservoir
and empty it (Figs 7, 8).
n Repeat working steps if necessary .
Cleaning carpets and upholstery
n For cleaning carpets, apply the 230 mm floor
nozzle
n For cleaning upholstery , stair carpets, wall
hangings or the inside of the car , apply the
1 10 mm hand nozzle (
optional accessory
).
n When cleaning upholstery , the amount of
cleaning solution must be reduced for delicate
fabrics and the surface wetted at a distance of
approx. 200 mm.
Cleaning methods
Normally dirty carpets:
n In the normal spray-extraction process the
cleaning solution is sprayed on and vacuumed
up immediately.
n V acuuming again without spraying shortens
the drying time.
On very dirty surfaces or stains:
n First spray cleaning solution on to these
areas and leave it to take effect for approx.
10–15 mins. Then go over the areas as
already described.
n To get the best results, go over the area again
with clean warm water only . In this way the
residue of detergent is reduced further and
the dissolved dirt fully washed away .
Tips for working with the cleaner
Carpeting, carpets and above all genuine
Oriental carpets should be tested in an
inconspicuous place to make sure they are
colourfast and water resistant
– The more sensitive the covering (Oriental
rugs, Berber carpets, upholstery material),
the less detergent should be used.
– Hemp-backed carpeting can shrink if it is
worked too wet and the colour will run.
– Brush deep pile carpets when they are wet in
the direction of the pile (e.g. with a pile brush
or scrubber).
– Y ou will achieve better cleaning results if you
use warm water (up to a max. 50 ° C).
– Spray badly stained areas separately and
leave the detergent for 5–10 mins to take
effect.
– Always work from light to dark, that means
from windows to doors.
– Always work from the cleaned area to the
non-cleaned area.
– After a textile covering has been cleaned wet,
it should be treated to prevent it from
becoming dirty again too quickly . We recommend the use of our Care Tex RM 762 with
dirt repellent and antistatic agent.
– Do not walk on cleaned areas or place
furniture on them until they have dried (risk of
rust stains or pressure marks).
– For carpets which have been shampooed,
the foam in the dirty-water reservoir has to be
neutralised.
This is done in the puzzi 200 by putting
defoamer (RM 761) into the defoamer
container . The dosage will be seen by opening
and closing the container lid.
In the puzzi 100 the defoamer is put directly
into the dirty-water reservoir .
