dial setting should be "Tools". If you are
using the machine as an upright, the dial
should be set at "Floor Cleaning".
Press down firmly on the black oval
gasket at the top window to make sure
the two tabs on the back of the nozzle
window are snapped into the mating
slots in the main housing.
Re-install lid; refer to page 8.
2-in-1 tank must be firmly seated to
function; remove and reseat 2-in-1 tank.
Adjust angle; apply more downward
pressure.
Empty 2-in-1 tank, refer to page 12.
Remove the nozzle (page 13) and remove
the diverter assembly; hold it under
running water making sure water flows
through and around the dial. Turn the dial
about 10 times clockwise and 10 times
counterclockwise. This should free up
debris. Wipe the diverter and nozzle dry
and return it to the machine.
