Cleaning And Maintenance - Philips FC6840 series Bedienungsanleitung

- Make sure that the room is well-aired during and after shampooing to allow better and quicker
drying.
- Allow the carpet to dry well before walking on it again: freshened-up areas normally require 30
minutes to dry, whereas deep-cleaned sections require approximately 2 hours to dry. Of course,
the drying times also depend upon the amount of shampoo applied, temperature, air humidity
and ventilation.
- The transparent nozzles (the double-injection nozzle and the upholstery nozzle) let
you determine if the carpet or hard floor is clean. Simply look at the colour of the extracted
solution.
Shampooing hard floors
The 3-purpose click-on hard floor adapter for the double-injection nozzle consists of three
,
familiar cleaning tools: (Fig. 40)
1 a brush to release sticky dirt from the floor;
2 a sponge to release, distribute and rub in the shampoo;
3 a squeegee to collect the shampoo from the floor so that it can be vacuumed.
1 Snap the hard floor adapter onto the double-injection shampoo nozzle. (Fig. 41)
 Start as far away from the door as possible and then work your way towards the door.
 Apply shampoo by squeezing the trigger on the handgrip of the tube. For scrub effectively,
just make back-and-forth strokes as you do with a regular vacuum cleaner. Normally it is
sufficient to only apply shampoo while you move the nozzle forwards. (Fig. 42)
Note:Do not make very long strokes.
4 To dry the floor, just move the nozzle backwards slowly. Make sure that only the squeegee
touches the floor and do not apply shampoo. (Fig. 43)
5 To remove shampoo effectively, make overlapping strokes and finish off with one stroke
across as shown in the figure. (Fig. 44)
6 After shampooing, release the trigger and switch off the pump. Keep the appliance itself
switched on. (Fig. 38)
7 Lift the nozzle off the floor. Then simply let the appliance suck in dry air for some time to dry
the inside of the suction hose and tube. (Fig. 39)
8 Switch off the appliance.
shampooing furniture
The upholstery nozzle allows you to shampoo furniture, tapestries, curtains etc.
1 Attach the upholstery nozzle directly to the handgrip. (Fig. 45)
 Shampoo the fabric in the same way as described for floors. (Fig. 46)
