Connect the siphon nozzle (22) to the handle of the suction hose. Place
the siphon nozzle exactly on the siphon to be cleaned.
Be sure to remove any covers on the siphon or siphon plugs
before cleaning with the siphon nozzle!
H Turn on the appliance with the On/Off switch (6). The pump
switch (7) must not light up.
After completion of the siphon cleaning, please clean and dry
the appliance and the accessories used.
Cleaning and care
To care for the pump and valves properly, fill the cleaning
fluid tank (18) with clear water and insert it.
Connect the mains cable. Switch on the On/Off switch (6)
as well as the pump switch (7).
Operate the spraying system, e.g. over a sink (disengage
the lever of the stop valve (15)).
Before removing the cleaning fluid hose, engage the lever of the cut-
off valve (15, figure P) in order to release the remaining pressure in
the system, and then press the key on the quick coupling (5).
Remove the power cord!
Afterwards, clean and dry the appliance and the accessories you have used.
Never dip the motor block in water!
Clean the housing cover of the motor block casing with a damp cloth
and wipe dry.
Important tips
In order to avoid soiling the carpet again, you should not
walk on shampooed carpets until they have dried.
In order to achieve quicker drying of shampooed surfaces, it
is helpful to remove residual liquid remaining in the carpet by
vacuuming it again – without engaging the valve hook.
If unexpected difficulties arise
If your appliance does not operate to your satisfaction, you do not
have to contact customer service straight away. Please check first as to
whether the fault is due one of the following minor causes:
Gradual reduction in suction power:
• Is the collecting bin full?
• Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube or flexible
hose?/Stretch the flexible hose while the appliance is switched
on – this will loosen the obstruction.)
Water is coming out of the air expulsion openings of
the appliance during vacuuming:
• Is the float (fig. J) blocked when vacuuming liquid and unable to
operate?
• Was original THOMAS cleaning concentrate used for spray
extracting?
Sudden reduction in suction power
• Has the float stopped the flow of air? This can happen if the
appliance is standing at a slant or if the appliance falls over. Turn
off the vacuum cleaner – the float will fall back into place – the
appliance is ready for use again.
The motor does not function:
• Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or socket?
• Pull out the plug before checking.
• Never open the motor yourself!
No cleaning fluid is coming out:
• Is the pump switched on? Switch (7) has to light up.
• Clean the filter catch on the suction hose for cleaning fluid (20).
• Has the suction hose for cleaning fluid been correctly fitted in the
cleaning fluid tank?
• Is the spray nozzle clogged? If the spray nozzle becomes clogged,
lay the nozzle into water for a while and then blow strongly
through it.
