2. Always test color fastness before using on surfaces.
a. Wet an inconspicuous area with a small amount of cleaning solution.
b. After 1-2 minutes, blot with a white absorbent cloth and check for color transfer.

3. Sweep or remove all loose debris from the area you want to clean to remove loose
dirt before using the Floor Doctor Hard Surface Cleaner machine.

1. If this is the first use, attach handle to main body by inserting the handle into the main
body until you hear the handle snap. The handle is now seated and secure.

2. Remove the cardboard nozzle protector from the nozzle.

3. Remove any additional packing materials from the machine and charger.

4. Place the machine on the storage tray near an outlet.

5. Plug the charger into the machine and then into the wall outlet.

6. Charge the unit for 6 hours (3.5 hours for recharge after use). Charge is complete
when the blue charge light quits blinking and remains a solid blue color.

7. Unplug the charger from the machine.

8. Remove the Clean Water Tank by pressing the tank release button and pulling the
water tank out the front.

9. Open the Clean Water Tank and fill with hot tap water, leaving enough room to add
solution. Do not use boiled or microwaved water in tank.

10. Add 1 tablespoon of Rug Doctor Hard Floor Cleaning solution to the clean water tank,
close the tank and replace it onto the main body.

11. With the unit on the hard surface to be cleaned, place your foot on the nozzle and
rotate the handle back to a use position.

12. Push the Power Switch on top once for low brush speed, twice for high brush speed
and a third time to turn the unit o again.

thoroughly and lift the dirt o the floor with the suction nozzle.
NOTE: Suction is at the front of the nozzle, the backward stroke is the most

effective at lifting the dirt off the floor. The forward stroke loosens, provides solution
and prepares the surface for dirt removal in the backward stroke.

dry the tanks before storage. Replace the dry tanks and place the unit back on its
storage tray ready for recharging.
