operation/ accessories
Do not tip or tilt the steam cleaner by more than 45°
during use and ensure that the appliance always stands
on a firm base. One full tank is enough for a maximum of
50 minutes use. Do not leave the machine unsupervised
while switched on and if necessary use the child-proof
lock to secure the steam switch. To do this, press the
triangular pin on the left-hand side of the steam gun in
to the right.
IMPORTANT
: The housing and accessories
become hot during operation. Allow the steam
cleaner to cool down before changing the
accessories. Never open the tank cap whilst the steam
cleaner is switched on as the tank is under pressure.
Topping Up with Water
The tank must be topped up if the steam flow emitted
starts to decrease. Switch off the steam cleaner by
pressing the on/off switch. The green operating pilot
lamp goes off. Press the steam button on the steam gun
to release the remaining pressure and then lock the gun.
Remove the mains plug from the socket and allow the
appliance to cool down. Vax recommend allowing the
steam cleaner to cool for at least 15 minutes. Open the
tank cap by pressing it down and turning it anti-
clockwise.
WARNING
: Hot steam may escape on opening.
There is a risk of burns from the cap thread and
the tank.
Top up with water using the measuring jug and funnel
then carefully close the tank cap again. The steam
cleaner can now be plugged in again and switched on.
The steam cleaner is ready for use as soon as the heating
pilot lamp goes off.
5. Accessories
Floor Nozzle
Attach the floor nozzle to the end of the extension tube.
Ensure that the nozzle clicks into place on assembly
(Fig.5/1).
The floor nozzle is ideal for cleaning washable wall and
floor coverings. It may be used with or without the
cleaning cloth. However, Vax recommend using the cloth
to protect coverings in the case of sensitive surfaces
such as wood or linoleum.
Place the floor nozzle on the cleaning cloth and secure
the overhanging material under the cleaning cloth clips
on the left and right. Press on the inner sides of the
holder, then open the clips and the cleaning cloth can be
secured in place (Fig.5/1).
To take the floor nozzle off again, press in the
appropriate release button (see Fig.5/2) and pull the
nozzle off with a downward movement.
