GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded 
wiring system. If it should malfunction or break 
down, grounding provides a safe path of least 
resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an 
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding 
plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is 
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper 
connection of the equipment-grounding 
conductor can result in a risk of   
electrical shock. Check with a qualified 
electrician or service person if you   
aren’t sure if the outlet is properly 
grounded. DO NOT  mODI fY 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 the plug in the drawing 
above.  make certain that the appliance 
is connected to an outlet having the 
same configuration as the plug. No   
plug adapter should be used with   
this appliance.
This model is for household use only.

							Cleaning with your Little Green PROheat
1. Hold the tool approximately 1” above the soiled 
surface. Press the spray trigger to apply the   
cleaning solution to the soiled area.
2.  Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub the area 
to be cleaned.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, the switch 
should be in the “BRUSH” position. This   
activates the brush only.
3.  For thorough cleaning, spray additional solution 
while the brush and suction are in contact with 
the surface.
4. Apply downward pressure on the tool and pull it 
toward you. The suction will remove the dirt and 
cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can 
be removed.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, move the 
switch to the “SUCTION” position. This 
activates the suction to remove the dirt and 
cleaning solution.  move the switch back to 
the “BRUSH” position for additional   
brushing action.
5.  As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the 
spray trigger) to remove as much liquid/moisture 
as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, move the 
switch to the “SUCTION” position. This   
activates the suction to remove the dirt and 
cleaning solution.
After cleaning
1.  Turn Power Switch to OFF position.
2. Unplug Power Cord from outlet.Note: If a significant amount of Little Green   
formula/water remains, it is all right to 
leave it in the Clean/Solution Tank for your 
next cleaning task.
3.  Empty and rinse the Dirty/Collection Tank after 
each use, OR when dirty water reaches the   
indicated maximum fill line. To remove the tank,   
lift up the Dirty/Collection Tank retainer lever and 
remove the tank from the unit.
