Cover legs of furniture with cling film or aluminium foil. This will stop them staining a wet carpet.
If the carpet is very dirty, open the slider cover on the handle grip when washing. Remember to close it when sucking up surplus washing solution.
Don’t use too much water when cleaning. If you use lots, it takes a long time to suck up and a long time to dry out.
The first thing to check if Luna doesn’t work is the power cable. Is Luna plugged in and switched on? Is the fuse OK? Plug in another appliance to check.
If Luna goes off while washing, an excessive amount of foam inside may have caused it. Check that you have used VAX cleaner or an approved non-foaming cleaner.
Remove furniture, whenever possible, before washing.
Start washing from the furthest point in the room from the door. Move backwards towards the door.
Luna will stop working when it is full of dirty water. Turn off and empty before continuing with your washing.
Whenever possible, use VAX cleaning solutions, they are made specially for Luna.
When you push in the hose make sure it fixes securely, by twisting as you push.

This ‘Easy guide’ should be read completely before using your LUNA.
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. 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 cable in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. THE POWER SUPPLY CORD ON YOUR VAX HAS 2 INNER WIRES. IT SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO THE PLUG AS INDICATED BELOW. WARNING: THIS 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. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE If the plug provided is unsuitable for your socket outlets, the plug must be cut off and a suitable plug fitted. The cut-off plug should be disposed of and must not be inserted into
any 13 amp socket as this can result in electric shock. The plug or adaptor or the distribution panel should be provided with a 13 amp fuse. As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL OF A THREE PIN PLUG (THIS 1S MARKED ‘E’ OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW). Note: After replacing or changing a fuse, the fuse cover in the plug must be replaced with a fuse cover which corresponds to the colour of the insert in the base of the plug or the word that is embossed on the base of the plug, and the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. Only 13 amp fuses approved to B.S. 1362 A.S.T.A. should be used. This appliance conforms with the requirements of EEC Directive No. 82/499/EEC relating to radio interference. In the interests of product improvement, the Company reserve the right to introduce modifications or alterations without notice.
