Safran Anafor 12/16 Upholstery Cleaning Machine

The Safran Anafor 12/16 upholstery cleaning machine is described in this historical PAK Makina article, which covers its specifications, accessories and price. The original introduction presents it as a widely used machine among upholstery cleaning businesses. That popularity statement is not a verified sales ranking.

The Anafor uses exhaust-equipped vacuum motors. The source lists two 1,200-watt motors but also states a total of 2,800 watts. Those figures are inconsistent: 1,200 × 2 equals 2,400 watts. Confirm the actual motor rating on the specific machine's data plate and current documentation. The article states a 1,900-watt heater with a thermal-protected heating element, a 48–54-watt water pump, a 12-litre clean-water tank and a 16-litre recovery tank. Its listed weight is 35 kg and dimensions are 40 × 64 × 70 cm. The described supplied accessories are:

• A polycarbonate upholstery extraction tool
• A 2.5 m suction hose
• A solution spray hose integrated with the suction hose

How should on-site carpet and upholstery cleaning machines be used?

The Anafor is intended for cleaning suitable textile-covered surfaces in homes, hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shopping centres, offices and other commercial or industrial premises.

Some textiles can be affected by water or detergent. Before cleaning, test a small, inconspicuous area using the intended process.

Use the machine only for its intended purpose. Other uses can create hazards.

Do not operate it where explosive or flammable substances, such as petrol, thinners, fuel oil or solvent liquids, are stored or handled.

The source states that the manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by unsuitable or improper use. It also states that the Safran Anafor 12/16 was made to comply with applicable safety rules. Verify the current documentation rather than treating this historical statement as confirmation of compliance with every country's requirements. The machine must carry a label identifying its specifications and serial number.

Check that the label is present when purchasing. If it is missing, inform the manufacturer or supplier immediately and do not use the machine until its identity and ratings are established. The source warns that an unlabelled machine may affect the manufacturer's responsibility and should be treated as a potential safety risk.

Assembling the Anafor upholstery cleaning machine

• Connect one end of the suction hose to the vacuum inlet on the front of the machine.
• Connect the clean-water coupling attached to the hose to the solution outlet on the machine.
• Connect the suction hose and clean-water coupling to the upholstery extraction tool.
• Fill the clean-water tank and add the correct quantity of compatible detergent. Use a low-foaming or non-foaming product as specified for the machine.
• If heating is required, activate the heater control and set the thermostat to the required temperature within the model's permitted limits.
• The source describes the thermostat indicator switching off when the set temperature is reached. Check the controls and instructions for the actual machine before starting.
• Switch on the solution pump. Press the upholstery tool's trigger to apply solution to the cleaning area.
• Switch on the vacuum motors to recover the liquid. If you have purchased the optional carpet tool, replace the upholstery tool with it using the same connections and follow the appropriate carpet-cleaning method.
