Using your machine
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 lled
with warm water (max 40°C). Filling the clean water tank
with hot/boiling water may damage your machine and
invalidate your warranty.

TIP
Your dirty water tank is tted with a oat. When the dirty water tank is full or the oorhead 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.
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 water) and pour
into tank.
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
