Spray Extraction (Shampooing); Carpet Cleaning; Cleaning Upholstery - Thomas BOXER Mode D'emploi

Spray extraction (shampooing) of
carpets and hard floor coverings
Shampoo only carpets which can be cleaned
wet.
Fine, hand-woven or non-colour-fast carpets
should not be shampooed.
If the carpet has been shampooed before, it
is possible that you will obtain a great deal of
foam when you use THOMAS BOXER for the
first time.
If this is the case, switch off the appliance and
empty the collecting bin.
Thereafter, in order to prevent excess foam, put
⁄ cup of vinegar into the collecting bin.

Excess foaming will not occur after you have
thoroughly cleaned the carpet once with
THOMAS cleaning concentrate, because it
contains a special anti-foam substance.
Ensure that there is always liquid in
the fresh water container when the
spraying function is switched on, in
order to avoid possible damage to the
pump.
