MAINTENANCE AND CLEANUP INSTRUCTIONS
1. When the steam cleaning process is complete, disconnect trigger
solution hose from solution tank. e solution tank should then be
unplugged and emptied of the remaining solution and the exterior
wiped off. It can then be stored until the next use.
2. To drain the solution hoses, turn on the power switch, hold the
trigger solution hose above your head and press the trigger. All of the
remaining solution will drain out and is extracted through the steam
cleaning recovery head into the recovery tank.
3. Remove the trigger valve and steam head.
4. To flush out wand and vac hose, fill a container with hot water and
extract. Send 2 paper towels through to properly clean and dry out
wand and hose.
5. e recovery tank should be emptied and cleaned with water. Replace
the inner tube.
Steam Cleaning Tips
• When operating canister as a hot-water extraction system, be sure
filtration tube is removed from dome.
• In this function, always use the urethane foam filter in the secondary
filter holder.
• Generally, a back and forth scrubbing action, cleaning small sections of
carpet at a time, is the best method of hot water extraction. e proper
amount of solution to spray into the carpet depends upon the degree to
which the carpet is soiled. e more soiled the carpet, the more solution
and scrubbing action is required, even to the point of going over the
area being cleaned several times. Always clean your carpet before it
becomes noticeably soiled. See Carpet Maintenance Program on page
11.
• IMPORTANT: It is important to empty the filtration recovery tank
each time before re-filling the solution tank. To prevent overflow, your
AF2 employs an automatic flotation ball shut-off system. Always be sure
that the flotation ball is in its holder when operating your AF2.
