Before you begin cleaning
•
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 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.
• Don’t over saturate your carpets.
• When using the carpet washer, basic safety precautions should
always be observed.
•
IMPORTANT:
Only use Vax carpet solution. Using other solutions
may cause excess foaming and may invalidate your warranty.
•
IMPORTANT:
The clean water tank should only be fi lled with
warm water (max 40°C). Filling the clean water tank with
hot/boiling water may damage your machine and invalidate
your warranty.

CAUTION:
This is a powerful carpet washer, before plugging
in make sure all controls are turned off also hold carpet washer
fi rmly when staring and during use.
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
fi nishes from staining your carpet.
Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
Your dirty water tank is fi tted with a fl oat. When the dirty water tank is full or the fl oorhead is not in contact with the
carpet the fl oat will shut off the suction at the fl oor nozzle. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the motor
noise on the unit will increase. Once the fl oat 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 fl oat to settle.
Remove clean water tank.
Unscrew the clean water
tank cap from the top of
the clean water tank.
Pour required dose of
carpet cleaning solution
(approx. 40ml per 1.0L of
