Plug cord into electrical socket. To turn cleaner ON, push
ON/OFF switch once. To turn cleaner OFF, push switch

window (Fig.4/2).
WARNING:
The brushbar must NOT be rotating
when cleaning hard floors. Switch the brushbar

As a precaution Vax recommends that you
raise the brushbar as well as switching it off for use
on lino and hard floorings
