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.
•  CAUTION: This is a powerful carpet washer, before plugging 
in make sure all controls are turned o. Also hold carpet washer  
rmly when staring and during use.
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 
skirts and curtains.
