4. Operation
Before You Begin Cleaning
Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a Vax vacuum cleaner with an brushbar for best results. Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool to reach into tufts and folds. Do not use the Dual V cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner. For upholstery, always check the manufacturers guidelines before washing.
Test for colorfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden area, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If surface has more than one colour, check all colours.
When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only high traffic areas are to be cleaned). For furniture too heavy to move, place aluminum foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
On/Off Switch
To turn cleaner ON, push switch down. To turn cleaner OFF, push switch up (Fig.4/1).
