Before You Begin Cleaning:
Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly before use.
Don’t use the carpet cleaner as a traditonal vacuum cleaner.
Check the label on your upholstery to make sure it is suitable
for wet cleaning before using your HOOVER® carpet cleaner.
Test for colorfastness in a small, hidden area. Gently rub
surface with a dampened white cloth. Wait ten minutes and
check for color removal or bleed with a white paper towel.
Move furniture out of area to be cleaned. Place aluminum
foil or wax paper under legs of furniture too heavy to move to
prevent wood nishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture
skirts and drapes.
NOTE: To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to
protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.
NOTE: To avoid damage to wood oors underneath area
rugs or carpet, place waterproof material (ex: plastic)
underneath them before cleaning.
For best results, pretreat stains with a HOOVER® spot
treatment (See HOOVER® Cleaning Solutions Guide) to help
loosen and remove even the most stubborn stains.
Available at additional cost if not included with your model.
Pretreating:
Continue using dry strokes until little water is visibly
passing through the Nozzle.
For best results, HOOVER® recommends rinsing carpet
with water only. This removes residual carpet cleaning
solution. Remove Solution Tank and repeat. For heavily
soiled areas, repeat. Avoid saturating carpet.
CAUTION
Do not clean over oor electrical outlets. Water will drip
from the brushes and underside of the product after use
and may puddle. To avoid damage to wood and laminate
ooring and to avoid potential slip hazard, after use (a)
do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces
and move to a hard surface and (b) place cleaner on an
absorbent material (such as a towel) to soak up drips.
!!
NOTE: Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound
becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction
(see “Automatic shut-o”). You will also see the oat
rise and shut o suction at the same time.
IMPORTANT: For full suction, it is important that the
Dirty Water Tank is properly secured before cleaning.
