PLEASE READ ‘LET’S TALK SAFETY’ AT THE BEGINNING BEFORE USE
IMPORTANT:
Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing.
Test for colourfastness – Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small hidden area of your carpet/rugs/
upholstery gently rub with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with a white paper
towel or cloth. If your carpet has more than one colour, check all colours.
Test your carpet/rugs/upholstery – Run the carpet washer over a small hidden area. If no pile distortion occurs continue
cleaning.
When cleaning an entire room, 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 carpet washer, basic safety precautions should always be observed and don’t over saturate your carpets.
Only use VAX carpet solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming and will invalidate your guarantee. The clean
water tank should only be filled with warm water (max 40°C). Filling the clean water tank with hot/boiling water will damage
your machine and invalidate the guarantee. This is a powerful carpet washer, before plugging in make sure all controls are
turned off. Hold carpet washer firmly when starting and during use.
