Return Tank-in-Tank to the machine. NOTE: Always check the level of cleaning formula in the SmartMix tank at the same time, and refill as needed Rinse (optional) Rinsing is an optional step that can be done during the cleaning process by switching to the water rinse setting, or it can be done after the carpeted area has been cleaned. 1. Simply choose the water rinse setting on the SmartMix dial, and follow the same path as you did for cleaning, taking care to do a forward (wet) stroke by depressing the trigger, a backward (wet) stroke, and a forward and backward (dry) stroke, releasing the trigger. Continue this until the water you see coming up the nozzle is clear. 1. 3. 2. 4. 5.

Put the unit away in a closet or basement for the next use. The SmartMix tank can remain filled and ready to go (store with machine set to water rinse setting), or it can simply be emptied back into the formula bottle if that is more convenient. Note: Store cleaner in a protected, dry area. Since this product uses water, it must not be stored where there is a danger of freezing. Freezing will damage internal components and void the warranty. Machine care For best results, a few simple steps can assure your machine is well maintained after your cleaning is complete. 1. Turn power and heater switches OFF ( 0 ). Unplug the machine and wrap the power cord. 2. After emptying the water tank, rinse it out at a faucet with running hot tap water, taking care to clean underneath the heavy duty bladder, and all around it. Clean out lint trap. 3. Replace the Tank-in-Tank on the machine. 4. Clean out the flow indicator filter each time it is used to ensure best cleaning performance. Unscrew the flow indicator cap, lift out the red rotor and white filter. Rinse all three parts with water. Replace the filter and rotor. Replace the flow indicator cap. Turn until snug, do not over-tighten. 5. Any loose hair or debris can be pulled from the brush roll if desired and thrown away. 6. Wipe the machine’s exterior with a soft cloth. 7. After carpet is dry, vacuum again to remove hair and fuzz. Cleaning with attachments Your ProHeat machine comes equipped with a hose and at least one attachment for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and more. 1. Important! If using to clean upholstery, check upholstery tags for instructions. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, unplug from the outlet before servicing.

Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your ProHeat. If the tag is coded with an “X” or an “S” (with a diagonal stripe through it), or says “Dry Clean Only”, do not proceed with any deep cleaning machine. Do not use on Velvet or Silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer or manufacturer. B. Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place. C. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet. D. Plan activities to allow upholstery time to dry. E. Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment and a crevice tool to clean in fabric folds. 2. Follow the instructions on page 9 for filling the water tank and the formula tank. 3. Set ready tools dial to the tools setting. This will allow spray and divert the suction to the hose. *SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet and hard floor application only. It does not heat solution sprayed through the accessory tools. 4. Set SmartMix dial to normal. 5. Attach the cleaning tool to the end of the hose. 6. Plug in and turn on the power switch. 7. Clean by pressing the trigger to spray solution onto the area to be cleaned. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction soiled water. Continue to clean in the area, working in small sections, until no more dirt can be removed. Rinse (optional) and suction as needed. Caution: Do no overwet. 8. When cleaning is complete, remove and rinse tools in clean, running water. 9. Coil hose around the tool caddy. Manufacturer’s tag WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, be extra careful when cleaning stairs. Make sure machine is secure and level. 800.237.7691 13 ug310-5941_7901bi_608.indd 13 6/24/08 1:39:04 PM Maintenance and care Cleaning with attachments (continued) 10.
