Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like theplug in the drawing above.

Tip:Dry vacuum the area first, before spot cleaning with the SpotBot.

How to begin

Using the Automatic Smart System™Your new SpotBot features an Automatic Smart System that takes the guesswork out of spot and stain removal. With the touch of a button, you can select the cleaning cycle to use your preferred method of cleaning.

Surface Stain Cycle This cycle has been designed for stains that are on the surface of your carpeting. This cycle will run for approximately 3 minutes.
Set-In Stain Cycle Use on stains that have had a period of time to set-in. These are typically the most difficult stain types to remove. This cycle runs for approximately 6 minutes.
Manual/Hose By selecting this option you can clean spots and stains manually on surfaces such as upholstery, stairs, car interiors, or any other hard to reach area.
Pause/Resume If you press the pause/resume button once, it will pause the cleaning cycle. Press again to resume your current cleaning cycle.
Stop By pressing the red stop but- ton, you will stop the cleaning cycle completely. To begin cleaning again,you will need to start over and select a cleaning cycle.
Status Indicator Lights Will give you a visual update on the cleaning cycle. During a cleaning cycle you will hear changes in the sound of the machine that correspond with a given step. When your cleaning cycle is complete, the Finish light will illuminate and you will hear a “beep” every five seconds until you depress the stop button.

Tip:Some spots and spills require that you pick up the chunky debris with a rag or towel before you begin cleaning in the automatic or manual cycles.

To begin cleaning

Place the filled clean water/solution tank onto the unit.
Plug your SpotBot in. The power light will illuminate, indicating your SpotBot is ready to go.

Automated cleaning

Place the unit directly over the spot or stain, making sure the stain is in the center of the cleaning area.
Select which cleaning cycle (surface stain or set-in) you would like to use. SpotBot will begin spraying, brushing and suctioning the soiled area, in a pre-programmed cycle. Both cycles have been tested and proven to deliver superior cleaning results, taking the guesswork and effort out of cleaning for you.
When the cleaning cycle you have selected is complete, the SpotBot will beep. The beep will continue until you hit the STOP button.
Pick up the unit and check the area that was cleaned.
If you use Oxy GEN2, it will continue to work for the next six to eight hours, cleaning your spots and stains all the way to the backing of the carpet.

Manual cleaning

Remove the hose from the unit by depressing the release button.
A. Remove the Tough Stain Brush from the back of the unit.B. Attach the Tough Stain Brush onto the grip of the hose.
Select the hose button on the control panel to start the SpotBot. NOTE: In manual mode, the SpotBot will not turn on until the hose is disconnected from the hose connector. If itis not removed within 30 seconds of pushing the hose button, the unit will shut off.
Begin cleaning by holding the tool no more than six inches above the soiled surface. Depress the spray trigger for about 5 seconds to apply the cleaning solution to the soiled area. Release the trigger. Be careful not to overwet.
Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub the soiled area until it appears to be clean.
To suction up the dirt and cleaning solution, position the suction nozzle over the cleaned area, apply downward pressure on the tool, and pull nozzle toward you. You should see the dirty solution pass through the nozzle. Continue until no more solution can be removed.NOTE: In manual mode, the SpotBot is equipped with a safety feature which will shut the unit off after 30 minutes. Press start to resume cleaning.
If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 4-6 as necessary.
When the cleaning is complete, lightly drag the suction nozzle across the stain to further aid in drying the cleaned area.
Before turning off the SpotBot, suction up clean water to thoroughly rinse out the inside of the vacuum flex hose. Then, lift the vacuum flex hose upwards to drain any remaining water into the dirty tank.
Press the STOP button to turn off the SpotBot.
Disconnect the cleaning tool from the vacuum flex hose by pushing down on the button lock and pulling straight off (do not twist tools to remove them).
Unplug the machine and wrap the cord around the cord wraps. Attach the Tough Stain Brush to the base of SpotBot. Wrap the hose around the machine.

Tip:If a significant amount of water and solution remains in the clean tank, your unit can be stored with liquid in the clean tank. However, if you have added Oxy GEN2 into the clean tank, fresh Oxy GEN2 should be added prior to the next use to optimize performance.

Storage

Turn the unit OFF (O). Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Wrap power cord around the cord wrap.
Empty and rinse the dirty water/ collection tank after each use, or when dirty water reaches the indicated maximum fill line. To remove the tank, lift up the dirty tank latch and pull the tank out. Dump out the dirty water and rinse. Replace the tank into the unit for storage. After using the SpotBot’s automated feature, wipe the window and brushing area with a soft cloth.
If you were using your SpotBot manually, wrap the vacuum flex hose around the unit and secure the hose into the hose connector on the front of the unit.
Store unit indoors at room temperature (40° to 110°F).

Tip:Clean out the black valve periodically inside of the dirty water/collection tank.
