BEFORE USING YOUR Vax
This ‘easy guide’ should be retained with your Vax for future reference. If your Vax
is sold or transferred to a new owner, this guide should be passed on so that the
new owner can become acquainted with the machine and this information. The
following information is provided in the interest of safety. Please read it before
using your Vax.
DO’S
• Ensure the mains cable is fully unwound and straightened before use.
• Ensure the mains cable is kept well away from the revolving brushes (where
fitted) of your Vax, when it is turned on and running.
• Keep the mains cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and rough surfaces and
avoid damage in any other way.
• Exercise extreme care when cleaning stair carpets. Ensure that your Vax is in a
stable position at either the top or bottom of the stairs without over-stretching
the hose or cable.

• Avoid dragging your Vax by the mains cable.

disconnected from the mains.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Make sure the solution tube is at the bottom of the water/washing solution..
• Ensure that the Tube connector on the end of the hose is fitted properly.
TIPS
• As your Vax is very powerful, you may find that the dust bag fills up quickly
the first time that you use your VAX.
• WHEN WASHING CARPETS OR UPHOLSTERY, ALWAYS TEST FOR COLOUR FASTNESS,
WITH SOME UNDILUTED CLEANER ON A HIDDEN AREA .
• When washing deep pile carpets, move the washing tool in the same direction
as the pile lays.
• Start from the furthest corner of the room and work backwards towards the
door.
• If you are washing very dirty carpets, you may have to wash them several times
over a period of time to bring the dirt to the surface.
• Metal or wooden furniture legs may mark a wet carpet, wait until the carpet is
dry before replacing furniture or cover legs with aluminium foil.
• Don’t allow children or animals onto your carpet until it has had time to dry.
• To keep your pump in good working order we recommend you flush your Vax
through with water only (no solution) after washing.
• Switch the pump on occasionally (once per month) for 5 seconds to keep it in
good working order, for when you next wash your carpets.
