Carpet Maintenance Program
With the extremely high cost of carpet today, it is important to develop and
implement a planned carpet maintenance program. is is the best way to
prolong carpet life, as well as protect your investment.
For everyday maintenance of your carpets, vacuuming with the ermax
AF2 is important. However, keep in mind, vacuuming alone will not totally
remove all soils and oily substances from the carpet fibers no matter how
powerful the vacuum may be. Periodically, depending on the degree of
traffic over the carpet, a deep cleaning of the carpet fibers is imperative. is
is where the hot water extraction (steam cleaning) function of the ermax
AF2 is needed. e AF2 has this capability. (If yours is not so equipped,
contact your local distributor for information.) Hot water extraction is a
flushing action of hot water and cleaning solutions sprayed into the carpet
fibers or upholstery. is process releases the soils and grease and the now
dirty solution is extracted. is process can be compared to washing your
carpet or upholstery the same as you would your clothes.
Listed below are a few tips for proper carpet maintenance:
• Vacuum carpets on a regular basis depending on traffic frequency.
• Use area mats where traffic enters a carpeted area from a hard surface.
• Schedule hot water extraction of your carpets at least twice a year, and
more frequently in high-traffic areas.
• Don’t wait until carpets are noticeably dirty before hot water extracting.
It may be too late to get out all dirt and stains.
Service of Double-
Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, such as your ermax AF2, two (2)
systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for double-insulated
appliances must be identical to the parts they replace. is double-insulated
appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATED” on the
inside top case assembly.
