Getting Started - Vax Platinum SmartWash CDCW-SWXP User Manual

PLEASE READ THE SAFETY GUIDE BEFORE USE.
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 a white paper towel or cloth. Check all carpets/rugs/upholstery
material before first use and if your carpet has more than one colour, check all colours.
• Test all flooring/carpets/rugs before first usage. Run the machine over a small hidden area. If no
damage or pile distortion occurs continue cleaning.
• When using the machine, basic safety precautions should always be observed. Do not over
saturate your carpets and continue using dry strokes until little water is visibly passing through
the nozzle. When using the hose and tools always finish on a dry stroke.
• When cleaning an entire room, move furniture out of the area to be cleaned. If the furniture
cannot be moved, place aluminium foil or wax paper under the legs. This will prevent wood
finishes from staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
• Only use VAX carpet solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming and will
invalidate the guarantee.
• For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make criss-crossing
strokes across the original pattern and overlap with each pass.
• The clean water tank should only be filled with warm water (max 40�C). Filling the clean water
tank with hot/boiling water will damage your machine and invalidate the guarantee.
• Empty and rinse out clean and dirty water tanks and leave to air dry before storage.
• This is a powerful machine, before plugging in make sure all controls are turned off and hold the
machine firmly when starting and during use.
