GETTING STARTED

CHARGING THE BATTERY

THIS MACHINE IS ONLY TO BE USED WITH VAX ONEPWR BATTERIES AND CHARGER. PLEASE READ THE SAFETY GUIDE BEFORE USE.
NOTE: Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged. Failure to fully charge the battery before first use may result in poor battery performance. The life expectancy of the battery will vary depending on the usage of the machine.

ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT: Before using the machine to clean dried-on stains and dirt, the flooring should be vacuumed throughly.

• Test for colourfastness – Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small hidden area of your carpet/rugs/upholstery/hard floors, gently rub with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with 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 carpets/rugs/upholstery/hard floors before use. Test the spot washer on a small hidden area. If no damage or pile distortion occurs continue cleaning.

• 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 spot washer, basic safety precautions should always be observed and don’t over saturate your carpets/rugs/upholstery/hard floors.

• Only use VAX ONEPWR Multi-floor Solution, VAX Spot Washer Antibacterial Cleaning Solution or VAX Spot Washer Cleaning Solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming and will invalidate your guarantee.

• The water/solution tank should only be filled with warm water (max 40⁰C). Filling the water/solution tank with hot/boiling water will damage your washer and invalidate the guarantee.

OPERATION

Press the on/off button to switch the washer on.

IMPORTANT: Your dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When the dirty water tank is full, the float will shut off the suction on the spot washer. You will be able to hear if this has happened as the motor noise on the washer will increase. Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank if full.
If the dirty water tank is not full then turn off your washer at the power switch and wait for the float to settle.

NOTE: For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make criss-cross strokes across the original pattern and overlap with each pass.

CLEANING THE FILTER
