Before first use, ensure all components are present and undamaged. Follow these steps to prepare your spot cleaner for operation:

   • Remove the lid by pushing up on the latch on the front of the tank.
   • Fill the tank with warm tap water. Do not use water above 104°F (40°C). The tank has fill lines for "SMALL CLEANING AREA" (0.8L/0.2G Liquid), "LARGE CLEANING AREA" (1.2L/0.3G Liquid), and "MAX FILL" (1.6L/0.4G Liquid).

   • For stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the spraying, scrubbing, and extracting process until the desired results are achieved.
