3. How to Assemble
IMPORTANT: Never unscrew the tank cap
during use.
IMPORTANT: Never fill the tank directly from
a tap. Use a jug and the funnel provided.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate a damaged
appliance or damaged accessories.
IMPORTANT: This steam cleaner is not intended
for commercial use.
NOTE: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly
before using the steam cleaner.
NOTE: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, a Vax Service Agent or
similarly qualified persons to avoid hazard.
Place the steam cleaner in a horizontal position and
remove the water tank cap. Use the funnel provided to
slowly fill the water tank with clean water. Replace the cap
securely (Fig3/1).
Insert the power plug into an electrical outlet. Make sure
the steam cleaner is switched off.
Press the on/off switch located on the handle to switch
the steam cleaner on.
The red heater “ON” light should now be illuminated.
Press the steam switch to the “ON” position.
After approximately 30 seconds the green “Steam Ready”
light should come on.
Turn the Steam regulator control to maximum and point
the steam nozzle towards a cloth or sink for approximately
10-15 seconds, to stabilise the flow and produce a
continuous steam.
Ensure the steam switch is turned off before connecting
the floor head or any of the other cleaning accessories.
4. How to Operate
Align the hole in the side of the floor head with the lock
button on the main body of the steam cleaner. Ensure that
the lock button clicks firmly into place (Fig4/1).
Connect the floor cloth to the floor head by using the
towel grips (Fig4/2).
Turn the steam switch on.
Carpet Cleaning
When cleaning carpets and rugs, leave the steam regulator
control set to “maximum”. Use slow backward strokes and
lift the floor head slightly during forward strokes to reduce
friction between the cloth and the carpet.
N.B Do not press the appliance hard against the carpet.
For large carpeted areas
(Model: V-083Q only)
For freer movement of the steamer over larger carpeted
areas the carpet glide attachment can be used.
Detach and remove the steam comb section from the
carpet glide attachment.
Fold the cloth and place inside the carpet glide base.
