2-in-1 Nozzle
The 2-in-1 nozzle consists of a right-angled steam
attachment onto which the window cleaner can be
attached. Push the right-angled steam attachment firmly
onto the detail nozzle. Pull the cotton cover over the
nozzle for more thorough cleaning and to protect the
work surface (Fig.5/8).
Fix the window cleaner with the rubber blade to the right
angled steam attachment if windows, mirrors or tiles are
to be cleaned (Fig.5/9).
IMPORTANT
: Glass may crack if subjected to
thermal shock. Pre-heat areas of glass prior to
steam cleaning by spraying steam in a wider arc from a
distance of 20–25cm. Slowly reduce the distance to
10–15cm to heat the glass up further.
6. Cleaning
IMPORTANT:
Always ensure before cleaning or
maintaining the steam cleaner that it is switched
off and unplugged from the mains. Only clean the steam
cleaner by wiping over the housing with a slightly
moistened cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents,
abrasives or alcohol since they may damage the housing.
Vax recommend that the tank be rinsed out after 5 filling
operations at the latest if water hardness is above 1.8
mmol/l (10°dH). Information regarding local water
hardness may be obtained from the water or utility
company. Vax recommend filling the water tank with
water and giving it a good shake to clean it. This will
loosen any limescale that has been deposited on the
bottom of the steam cleaner. Pour out the water and
allow the tank to dry out completely before closing it. The
water tank should be treated with limescale remover
approx. every 6 months to prolong the steam cleaner’s
life. Place one (or at most two) limescale removal sticks in
1 litre of warm water (50°C) and fill the water tank with
it. Allow the solution to work for approx. 30 minutes then
pour away the water with the dissolved solids. Repeat
this process if necessary then rinse out the tank with
water.
