How To Use
Before you begin cleaning
Do not saturate your carpet.
• Test for colourfastness – Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden area of your carpet and
upholstery, gently rub the surface 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.
• 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  nishes from staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts
and curtains.
• Test your carpets/rugs/upholstery - Run the machine over a small hidden area. If no pile distortion occurs continue
cleaning over required area.
Operating your carpet washer
Remove clean water tank.

!
IMPORTANT: Only use Vax carpet cleaning solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming.
Excessive foam will prevent the machine from working e ectively. Using other solutions will invalidate the guarantee.
IMPORTANT: The clean water tank should only be  lled with warm water (max 40°C). Filling the tank with hot
or boiling water may damage the machine and invalidate your warranty.
IMPORTANT: Carpets and hard  oors should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing.
Your dirty water tank is  tted with a  oat. When the dirty water tank is full or the  oor head is not in contact with the
carpet the  oat will shut o the suction at the  oor nozzle. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the motor
noise on the unit will increase. Once the  oat is activated, empty the dirty water tank if full. If the dirty water tank is not
full then turn o your machine at the power switch and wait for the  oat to settle.
Remove the water tank cap and  ll water tank with warm
water (max 40°C) up to the max  ll line. Tighten cap
before returning tank to unit.
CAUTION:
The carpet washer is a very powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into the electrical outlet, make sure
