4. Accessories
Extension Tubes
Assemble the extension tubes if the steam cleaner is to
be used to clean floors or difficult to reach areas. To do
this, push the open end of a tube on to the steam gun.
Push it on to the steam gun until the release button of
the steam gun clicks into place (Fig.4/1). Add one or
two extension tubes as required. Press in the
appropriate release button and pull the tubes apart
with a downward movement to take the extension tube
off again.
Carpet/Floor Nozzle
1. Attach the carpet/floor nozzle to the end of the
extension tube. Ensure that the nozzle clicks into
place on assembly. The floor nozzle 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.4/2).
Topping Up with Water
WARNING: Hot steam may escape on opening.
There is a risk of burns from the cap thread and the
tank.
1. When the water tank empty indicator comes on
the steam generator must be filled (Fig.3/6).
2. Discharge the remainder of the steam by pressing
the button on the steam gun (Fig.3/7).
3. Turn the steam cleaner off using the on/off switch
and unplug from the mains socket. Never open
the cap until the steam has completely finished.
Wait until the steam cleaner has completely
cooled down and avoid flowback of water when
refilling.
4. Place a cloth over the water filler cap and open the
cap slowly to allow residual steam to escape. Fill
the steam generator with water using the
measuring jug and funnel then carefully close the
filler cap. The steam cleaner can then be plugged
in again and be switched on. The steam cleaner is
ready for use as soon as the steam ready indicator
comes on.
