Operations
ATTENTION
Always work with an inserted foam filter - during wet
cleaning as well as wet and dry vacuum cleaning.
Wet cleaning of carpets/hard surfaces
ATTENTION
Check the object to be cleaned prior to using the appli-
ance in an inconspicuous place for colour fastness and
water resistance.
Do not clean water-sensitive floor coverings such as
wood floors (the moisture could penetrate and damage
the floor).
Note:
Warm water (max. 50°C) will increase the cleaning ef-
fect.
Wet cleaning of carpeted floors

tachment.
Please only use the carpet cleaner RM 519.
Wet cleaning of hard surfaces
 With spray-ex floor nozzle with hard surface attach-

Cleaning tips/mode of operation
– Always work from the light to the shade (from the
window to the door).
– Always work from the cleaned to the uncleaned
surface.
– Rugs with jute backing can shrink if too much water
is used and can bleed colours.
– Brush high-fiber rugs in the direction of the weave
after cleaning (using a fiber brush or a scrubber).
– Water-proofing the fabric using Care Tex RM 762
after the wet cleaning prevents a quick resoiling of
the textile surface.
– Do not step on cleaned surfaces until they have
dried and do not place furniture on them to avoid
pressure spots or rust stains.
