Before You Begin Cleaning:
Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly with a HOOVER®
vacuum before use.
Don’t use the carpet cleaner as a traditonal vacuum
cleaner.
Use your HOOVER® carpet cleaner only if upholstery
fabric is marked with a “W” (for “wet” clean) or “S/W” (for
“solvent/dry” or “wet” clean). Don’t clean fabric marked “S”
(“solvent/dry” clean only).
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 finishes from staining carpet. Pin up
furniture skirts and draperies.
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 visible
passing through the nozzle.
For best results, HOOVER
®
recommends rinsing
carpet with water only. This removes residual carpet
cleaning solution. 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 unit 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-off”). You will also see the oat
rise and shut off suction at the same time.
NOTE: For full suction, it is important that the Dirty
Water Tank is properly secured before cleaning.
