It features a main cleaning head for large carpeted areas and a spot cleaner attachment for targeted cleaning of stains on carpets, sofas, and car seats.

Usage Features:
Before You Begin:
- Always switch off the shampooer and remove the power plug from the power supply before cleaning, when not in use, or performing maintenance.
- The cleaner must only be connected to an AC power supply at the voltage shown on the rating plate.
- Do not operate the cleaner too close to heaters, radiators, or other hot surfaces.
- Ensure hands are dry before inserting the power plug.
- Remove any large objects from the carpet before turning on the shampooer to prevent damage.
- When unplugging, gently pull the power plug from the socket, not the power cable.
Safety Precautions & Warnings:
- The shampooer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised.
- Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the shampooer.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized service agent.
- Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing, preferably with a vacuum cleaner with a power brush.
- If using an extension cord, ensure it is approved and fully extended to prevent overheating.
- Do not run the shampooer over the power cable or power socket.
- Do not place the cleaner on stairs or furniture.
- Do not handle the power plug or cleaner with wet hands.
- Do not put any objects into openings or operate with blocked openings.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from openings and moving parts.
- Do not use this cleaner and accessories on hard floors, as it may cause scratches or damage.
- Do not use the carpet washer on glowing, burning, or smoking particles.
- Do not use without the solution tank and dirty water tank in place.
- Turn off all controls before unplugging.
- Do not store the cleaner with solution in tanks.
- Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as petrol.
- Only use the cleaning solution provided by Godfreys.
- Do not use high-foaming solutions, as excessive foam impairs functioning and voids the warranty.

Assembling:

- Insert the handle into the body, ensuring it points backwards, and secure with the screws.

Preparing the Carpet:
- Do not use the shampooer as a dry vacuum.
- Vacuum carpeted surfaces thoroughly, preferably with a power brush.
- Remove as much furniture as possible. For immovable furniture, place plastic or foil under and around the legs until the carpet is dry.
- Only use a low foam solution.
- Do not oversaturate the carpet with cleaning solution.
- For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
- Allow plenty of time for carpet to dry thoroughly.
- If cleaning solution contacts wood furniture or material, wipe it away immediately.
- Avoid walking on the carpet until it has completely dried after cleaning.
- Plan your cleaning path to avoid walking on previously cleaned areas.
Check for Colour Fastness:
- Before cleaning, test for colour fastness by dampening a white cloth with solution and gently rubbing a small, hidden carpeted area. Check for colour bleeding.
After Cleaning:
- Allow the carpet to dry completely. Avoid walking on it until thoroughly dry.
- If walking on wet carpet is necessary, place white towels over the areas.
- If furniture must be returned before the carpet is dry, place plastic or foil under it to prevent staining.
- Thoroughly clean the dirty water tank with warm (max 40°C) tap water.
