Dry Vacuum Cleaning - Kärcher SE 5.100 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Cleaning tips/mode of operation
Always work from the light to the shade
–
(from the window to the door).
Always work from the cleaned to the un-
–
cleaned surface.
Rugs with jute backing can shrink if too
–
much water is used and can bleed col-
ours.
Brush high-fiber rugs in the direction of
–
the weave after cleaning (using a fiber
brush or a scrubber).
Water-proofing the fabric using Care Tex
–
RM 762 after the wet cleaning prevents a
quick resoiling of the textile surface.
To eliminate mite, we recommend our
–
anti-allergenic carpet cleaner RM 772,
with long-term effect.
Do not step on cleaned surfaces until they
–
have dried and do not place furniture on
them to avoid pressure spots or rust
stains.
