GB IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
THIS EASY GUIDE SHOULD BE READ COMPLETELY AND REFERRED TO AT ALL TIMES 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. DOS 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. When cleaning the stair treads, always keep a hand firmly on your VAX. Follow the instructions in this user guide when fitting and changing accessories or tools. Remove the plug from the wall socket before carrying out any maintenance specified in this guide. Change dust bags and filters at regular intervals as specified in this guide. Store your VAX in a dry place. Have your VAX serviced by an authorised VAX Service Agent only using genuine VAX spare parts. DONTS Never allow children to tamper or play with your VAX. Avoid dragging your VAX by the mains cable. Never tug at the mains cable to remove the plug from the wall socket. Never allow the complete coiled mains cable to drop on the floor as this may result in kinks or knots occurring in the cable, causing premature failure. Dont let anyone touch the rotating brush bar (where fitted) unless your VAX is disconnected from the mains. Never use your VAX in the presence of flammable gases.
Avoid sucking up hot items, hazardous liquids or any other material which could damage your VAX. Never leave your VAX running unattended. Never use your VAX without a dust bag except when washing or sucking up spills. If your VAX fails to operate, never attempt to repair it yourself as repairs carried out by an unauthorised or inexperienced person may cause injury to you or damage to your VAX. Never alter the specification or modify your VAX in any way.
VAX PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
CARPET CLEANER: Specially formulated for use with your VAX its colour care formulation will keep colours true, whilst gently lifting out deep down dirt quickly and efficiently. The anti-resoiling system ensures carpets stay clean longer and the unique fragrance will leave them smelling fresh. TURBOBRUSH: The brush bar inside the Turbobrush rotates at high speed dislodging trapped dust from within carpet pile, leaving a grooming effect. Ideal for pet hairs. ALL VAX CARPET CARE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN INDEPENDENTLY TESTED AND APPROVED AS SAFE FOR USE ON WOOL/ WOOL RICH AND MAN MADE CARPETS.

EXTENSION CABLE If using an extension cable always ensure that the insulation sheath is in good condition and is not damaged in any way. Make sure that the plug and socket are fitted to the extension cable correctly, if in doubt have it checked by a qualified electrician. Always use the extension cable in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. WARNING: TH1S APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE EARTHED IMPORTANT: When carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operations on this product, it is essential that the plug is removed from the wall socket. In the interests of product improvement, the Company reserve the right to introduce modifications or alterations without notice.
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. Dont 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF YOUR VAX DOES NOT SUCK UP PROPERLY : Check to see if the dust bag is full. Ensure there are no blockages in the hose. Clean/change the filters. See pages 13/ 14/ 15. IF YOUR VAX DOES NOT WASH PROPERLY: Check to see if the Dirty water bucket is full. If it is, empty it. See page 9 picture no. 4. Make sure the solution tube is at the bottom of the water/washing solution. See page 6 picture no. 3. Ensure that the Tube connector on the end of the hose is fitted properly.
