T Place the spray-extraction carpet shampoo
nozzle on the carpet in a corner of the room .
Press the control trigger (4) on the handgrip (11)
until cleaning solution sprays onto the carpet .
Then slowly draw back the upright nozzle in a
straight line over the carpet .
On completion of a lane or when interrupting
operation, release the trigger to stop the jet
spray flow of cleaning solution . When the
sprayed on liquid has been vacuumed off, raise
the nozzle and, with a slight overlap, begin a
new lane .
In this way, the entire area can be covered strip by
strip .
If there are still traces of liquid on the cleaned
strip of carpet, these areas can be vacuumed
over again, but make sure that the trigger control
(40) is released!
As the upper part of the nozzle is transparent,
you can judge for yourself by the colour of the
extracted water when to end the spray-extraction
process .
V Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated by turning
the control knob to the „spray only" position . Aim
the nozzle at the area to be treated and press
the trigger control to emit a jet spray of cleaning
solution . Leave to work in for a short time, then
spray-extract as described above (remember to
turn the control knob back to the „spray-
extraction" position U) .

before, there may occur a stronger
foam development during the first use
of your spray­extraction system.
Should foam emerge from the air
outlet, switch off the appliance and
empty the collecting bin. To avoid
further development of foam, add one
cup of vinegar into the collecting bin.
Increased development of foam is
impossible after having used the
THOMAS 4 IN 1 with its Original
THOMAS ProTex cleaning solution for
one time, since it includes a special
foam stopper.
