How to: Unblock sinks
1
Set up for washing, but don’t connect the
solution tube or put water or cleaning
solution in the water reservoir
If the water in your sink is soapy, VAX Defoamer will
be required in the recovery bucket. Refer to
instructions on Defoamer bottle. Pour Defoamer
into recovery bucket through the central hole in the
clean water reservoir.
2
Use the metal tube connected to the hand
grip. Wrap a cloth around the tube to create
a seal between the tube and the plug hole.
3
Turn the suction power to maximum and
switch on
The ‘sound’ your VAX makes will change and the
suction will drop when the recovery bucket is full.
Time to empty it!
What to do after washing
AFTER WASHING – ALWAYS…
Clean your VAX thoroughly
Keep your VAX assembled. Clean the washing tool,
stainless steal wand and hose, by sucking up some
clean warm water. After sucking up the water, leave your
VAX switched on. Air flowing through the hose will help
dry it out.

7 steps for easy
vacuuming
1
Fit a dust bag by pushing it firmly into the
recovery bucket before connecting hose
2
Push the connector on the end of the hose. Turn
it clockwise to lock
3
Fit the filter unit and motor unit
Ensure the two retaining clips are secured. You may
have to push down hard on the edges of the motor
unit above the clips. They are a tight fit.
4
Fit the extendible wand to the hose hand grip
Adjust to suit by pressing button in direction of
arrow which will allow an extension or reduction in
wand length.
5
Choose suction power
Vacuum carpets on high power.
Vacuum fabrics and upholstery on low power.
Make sure that the cable is fully unwound.
Put the plug into a wall socket.
6
Choose the right tool for the job
The smaller tools can be fitted to the back of your
VAX when not in use.
7 Switch ON
Push the button on the handle marked for on, push
again for off.
Tip
As your VAX is very powerful, you may find that the
dust bag fills up quickly the first time you use it.
Should a blockage occur in the suction hose/
hand grip it can usually be “unblocked” by
reversing the hose and running the machine for a
few seconds or so. It may be necessary to bind
the hand grip end of the hose with a cloth or rag
to form a temporary seal between the hand grip
and the connector socket on the recovery bucket.
