WARNING: Always switch off and unplug your machine from the
electrical outlet before filling and emptying the clean water tank,
emptying the dirty water tank, before assembling, opening, before
connecting/disconnecting the attachments, or carrying out
maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
NOTE: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before
washing.
IMPORTANT: If the hose or tools are blocked, switch off the
carpet washer and remove the blockage(s) before re-starting your
machine. See maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Even with regular cleaning, filters have a limited
lifespan and will eventually need to be replaced during the lifetime
of the cleaner. If the performance of your cleaner is compromised
and/or the filters are severely discoloured, the filters may need
to be replaced. As a general guide, Vax recommends filters be
replaced every 3-6 months depending on the level of use to ensure
optimum performance of your cleaner.
This machine is intended for household use only, and NOT
for commercial or industrial use.
PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
