How To Use
Before you begin cleaning
Do not saturate your carpet.
• Test for colourfastness – Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden area of your carpet and
upholstery, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with
white paper towel or cloth. If your carpet has more than one colour, check all colours.
• When cleaning an entire room, move furniture out of the area to be cleaned. If the furniture is too heavy to move, place
aluminium foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts
and curtains.
• Test your carpets/rugs/upholstery - Run the machine over a small hidden area. If no pile distortion occurs continue
cleaning over required area.
Operating your carpet washer

IMPORTANT:
Only use Vax carpet cleaning solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming.
Excessive foam will prevent the machine from working effectively. Using other solutions will invalidate the guarantee.
IMPORTANT:
The clean water tank should only be filled with warm water
(max 40°C). Filling the tank with hot
or boiling water may damage the machine and invalidate your warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Carpets and hard floors should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing.
Your dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When the dirty water tank is full or the floor head is not in contact with the
carpet the float will shut off the suction at the floor nozzle. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the motor
noise on the unit 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 machine at the power switch and wait for the float to settle.
Remove the water tank cap and fill water tank with warm
water (max 40°C) up to the max fill line. Tighten cap
before returning tank to unit.
CAUTION:
The carpet washer is a very powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into the electrical outlet, make sure
all controls on the unit are turned off. Hold the carpet washer firmly when starting and in use.
