GETTING STARTED
Lift to remove the water/solution tank
from the side of the machine.
Press the on/off button to switch the
washer on.
Unscrew the cap and fill to the water
and solution markers on the tank.
Replace the cap and push the tank
down on to the machine until it clicks
into place.
IMPORTANT: Before using the machine to clean dried-on stains and dirt, the flooring should be
vacuumed throughly.
• Test for colourfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small hidden area of
your carpet/rugs/upholstery/hard floors, gently rub with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes
and check for colour removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. Check all carpets/rugs/
upholstery material before first use and if your carpet has more than one colour, check all colours.
• Test all carpets/rugs/upholstery/hard floors before use. Test the spot washer on a small hidden
area. If no damage or pile distortion occurs continue cleaning.
• Move furniture out of the area to be cleaned. If the furniture cannot be moved, place aluminium
foil or wax paper under the legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining your carpet.
Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
• When using the spot washer, basic safety precautions should always be observed and don’t over
saturate your carpets/rugs/upholstery/hard floors.
• Only use VAX ONEPWR Multi-floor solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming and
will invalidate your guarantee.
• The water/solution tank should only be filled with warm water (max 40⁰C). Filling the water/
solution tank with hot/boiling water will damage your washer and invalidate the guarantee.
IMPORTANT: Your dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When
the dirty water tank is full, the float will shut off the suction on
the spot washer. You will be able to hear if this has happened as
the motor noise on the washer will increase. Once the float is
activated, empty the dirty water tank if full.
If the dirty water tank is not full then turn off your washer at the
power switch and wait for the float to settle.
