PLEASE READ 'LET'S TALK SAFETY' AT THE BEGINNING 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/rug gently rub
with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with a white paper towel or cloth. If your
carpet has more than one colour, check all colours.
Test your carpet/rug – Run the carpet washer over a small hidden area. If no pile distortion occurs continue cleaning.
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.
When using the carpet washer, basic safety precautions should always be observed and don't over saturate your carpets.
Only use Vax carpet solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming and will invalidate your guarantee. 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. Before plugging in make sure all controls are turned off. Hold carpet
washer firmly when starting and during use.

push the handle into the top of the carpet washer.
Place the tank onto the machine and push into place.
