Maintenance (Keep your Vax as good as new)
3. To avoid passing or picking up lint from the cleaning pads, wash the microfibre cleaning pads separately or place them in a garment bag.
IMPORTANT: Wash microfibre cleaning pads regularly. As with any fabric, dirt particles can cause the fibers to break down. Therefore regular cleaning will help preserve the cleaning efficiency of the microfibre cleaning pads.
4. As the microfibre cleaning pad is used, sometimes a thread will loosen or pull out. This is normal. Never pull loose threads as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply trim any loose threads with a pair of sharp scissors.
Care & Cleaning
1. Always unplug and allow the Steam Mop to cool completely before cleaning or moving.
2. Press the round black lock and pull it downwards to loosen the microfibre cleaning pad’s drawstring.
CAUTION: Carefully remove the cleaning pad from the mop head, as mop pad and lower assembly may be hot.
4. Any water remaining in the water tank should be emptied before storing the Steam Mop.
5. Wipe all exterior surfaces of Steam Mop with a damp or dry, soft cloth.
Storage
1. Never store the Steam Mop while it is still plugged in. Remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty water from the water tank before storing.
3. Wrap cord for storage.
4. Store upright in a protected, dry area. Keep water fill cup and funnel handy for future use.
Replacing the hard water filter
IMPORTANT: The condition of the filter affects the performance of your machine.
Check and change filter regularly (depending on level of use).
Your machine is fitted with a hard water filter. If you live in an area of hard water the filter will discolour/darken over time. Depending on water hardness and/or frequency of use the filter should be changed every 6 months.
