GETTING STARTED

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. Check all carpets/rugs/upholstery material before first use and if your carpet has more than one colour,

check all colours.

• Test all flooring/carpets/rugs before first usage. Run the machine over a small hidden area. If no damage or pile distortion

occurs continue cleaning.

• When using the machine, basic safety precautions should always be observed. Do not over saturate your carpets and

continue using dry strokes until little water is visibly passing through the nozzle. When using the hose and tools always

finish on a dry stroke.

• 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.

• Only use VAX carpet solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming and will invalidate the guarantee.

• For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make criss-crossing strokes across the

original pattern and overlap with each pass.

• 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.

• Empty and rinse out clean and dirty water tanks and leave to air dry before storage. Do not leave solution stored in the

tanks between uses.

• This is a powerful machine, before plugging in make sure all controls are turned off and hold the machine firmly when

starting and during use.

PLEASE READ THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON PAGES 2 & 3 BEFORE USE.
