CAUTION:
Do not clean over floor
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 flooring 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.
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.
OPERATIONS
PRETREATING:
For best results, pretreat stains with a HOOVER®
spot treatment to help loosen and remove even
the most stubborn stains.
NOTE:
To avoid damage to wood floors
underneath area rugs or carpet, place
waterproof material (ex: plastic) underneath
them before cleaning.
HOW TO CLEAN CARPETS
1
Unwrap the power cord and plug cleaner in an
electrical outlet.
2
Step on the gray Handle Release Pedal to
recline the cleaner to cleaning position.
3
Step on the red On/Off Pedal to turn ON.
4
Slowly move forward. The cleaner will
automatically dispense the optimal amount of
water and cleaning solution.
5
Slowly pull backward. The cleaner will
automatically dry your carpets by extracting
the water and cleaning solution.
6
For best results, HOOVER® recommends
rinsing the carpet with clean water only. This
will remove residual carpet cleaning solution
from your carpets. To rinse with clean water
only, remove the Solution Tank and then repeat
steps 4 through 5.
7
When you finish cleaning but further drying is
required, press the DRY ONLY BUTTON. The Dry
Only mode will extract remaining water from
your carpet. Continue in this mode until little
water is visibly passing through the Nozzle.

HOW TO EMPTY DIRTY WATER

NOTE:
Keeping the filter clean is critical
to maintain strong suction performance.
AUTO SHUT OFF FLOAT:
Your carpet cleaner is equipped with a shut
off float within your Dirty Water Tank. When
the Dirty Water Tank becomes full, the float
will rise, shutting off the air flow through the
Nozzle. Once the air flow is shut off, empty the
Dirty Water Tank.
IMPORTANT:
Regarding the Dirty
Water Tank: For full suction it is important that
the Dirty Water Tank Lid is securely in place. If
misplaced, poor or no suction will result.
For full suction, it is important that the Dirty Water
Tank is properly secured before cleaning.
