™
is squirting
foam from the spray nozzle.
1. The Reusable Bottle is not firmly inserted into the unit. Make sure that you hear an
audible “Click” when you insert the Reusable Bottle into the appliance.
2. There may be air in the system. Hold down the spray button for 5 to 10 seconds to
flush the system.
Sonic Duo
™
doesn’t spray.
1. Make sure that the Reusable Bottle is inserted all the way in. You should hear an
audible “Click” when inserted.
2. Check that there is enough cleaning solution in the Reusable Bottle. If not, add
more.
3. The bottle cap on the Reusable Bottle may need to be cleaned. Remove it from
the Reusable Bottle and rinse it under running water and then replace it onto the
Reusable Bottle.
4. There may be air in the system. Hold down the spray button for 5 to 10 seconds
until solution comes out of the spray nozzle.
5. The colored spray nozzle at the front of the unit where the spray comes out may
be clogged. Clean the spray nozzle by removing it from the unit. To remove it, grip
the small lips at the top and bottom of the spray nozzle and turn counterclockwise.
Run the spray nozzle under warm water to clean it out. Reinsert the spray nozzle by
lining up its grooves with the inside of the nozzle hole. Turn clockwise until the lips
return to the top and bottom positions.
Sonic Duo
™
turns off when
the handle is lowered.
1. The Sonic Duo
™
automatically turns off when the handle is lowered to low. This
is a safety mechanism to ensure that the machine will turn off if it is dropped. To
keep the Sonic Duo
™
on when cleaning under low profile items, simply twist the
handle to the left or right and engage the swivel. When the handle is swivelled and
lowered, the Sonic Duo
™
will remain on.
The cap of the Reusable Bottle
is stuck inside the Sonic
Duo
™
after the bottle was
removed.
1. To remove the cap, hold center valve of the cap with your fingers and gently pull
it out. If it doesn’t come out easily, use a set of long nose pliers for leverage. Be
careful not to crack the center valve when applying pressure and lifting up.
The Reusable Bottle fell out.
1. The Sonic Duo
™
is not meant to be turned upside down. When upside-down, the
Reusable Bottle is at risk for falling out of its cradle. Please do not turn the Sonic
Duo upside-down. If it is necessary to turn the unit upside-down, remove the
Reusable Bottle first.
Sonic Duo
™
turns off on
its own.
