To assemble the Vax S86-SF-CC, begin by attaching the handle to the main body. Then, connect the desired cleaning head to the machine. Ensure all components click into place securely before use.
It is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prevent lime scale build-up in the tank and extend the lifespan of the steam cleaner.
If the steam cleaner is not producing steam, check if the water tank is filled, ensure it is properly plugged in, and verify that the power switch is on. Additionally, inspect the nozzle for blockages.
Regular maintenance includes emptying the water tank after each use, cleaning the microfiber pads, and descaling the unit monthly if you use tap water. Always unplug before performing maintenance.
The microfiber pads can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, and ensure they are completely dry before reuse.
If water streaks occur, ensure that the cleaning pad is not overly saturated. Adjust the steam setting to a lower level and move the cleaner slowly across the floor.
The Vax S86-SF-CC is suitable for sealed hard floors such as tiles and laminate. Avoid using it on unsealed wood or sensitive surfaces to prevent damage.
To descale, fill the water tank with a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes, then empty and rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water.
Always unplug the steam cleaner before filling the tank or performing maintenance. Keep the unit away from children, and do not direct steam at people or pets. Use only recommended accessories.
Allow the steam cleaner to cool completely before storage. Empty the water tank, wrap the power cord securely, and store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
