For carpet, use a vacuum
cleaner with an agitator for best results.
Vacuum uphol-
stery with a vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool attachments.
Use a crevice tool to reach into tufts and folds. Do not use
the 'SteamVac'
deep cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
b.
For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your
HOOVER 'SteamVac' deep cleaner only if the upholstery
fabric is marked with a "W" (for "wet" clean) or "S/W" (for
"solvent/dry" or "wet" clean). Do not clean fabric marked
"S" ("solvent/dry"
clean only). If your upholstery does not
have a code, seek professional assistance,
c.
Test for colorfastness
- Mix detergent and water
according to the instructions under "FINclean solution tank"
on pages 7 and 8. Wet a white absorbant cloth with the
solution.
In a small, hidden area, gently rub the surface
with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for
color removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If
surface has more than one color, check all colors.
d.
When cleaning
entire floor, move furniture
out of
area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only high
traffic areas are to be cleaned).
For furniture too heavy to
move, place aluminum foil or wax paper under legs. This
will prevent wood finishes from staining carpet.
Pin up
furniture skirts and draperies.
e.
Pretreat spots and heavy traffic
areas with
HOOVER@ PreCleaner*
- Test PreCleaner for colorfast-
ness by first spraying it on a hidden area; wait ten minutes
and blot with white paper towels or cloth.
If no color change is visible, spray PreCleaner onto spots
and traffic areas. Wait at least ten minutes Use your
'SteamVac' deep cleaner to pick up PreCleaner and spot.
Repeat until spot is removed; care[ully scrub with a
household scrub brush if necessary,
Do not saturate
carpet or upholstery with PreCleaner.
No cleaning solution removes all stains from all carpets.
Stain removal varies with the type of spill, time elapsed
before removal, carpet material, and carpet type.
If you do not have access to the PreCleaner Spray, doubk
the amount of HOOVER detergent (use 2 capfuls or 10 oz.
per 1 gallon) in the clean solution tank.
*Available at additional cost if not included with your
model.
f. To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to
protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.
g, To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors
underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/carpet
to a non-wood bare floor surface or place waterproof
material (e.g. plastic) underneath them before cleaning.
See pages 10-14 for instructions on various cleaning tasks.
After
cJeaning
a. Allow carpet or upholstery to dry. To help prevent matting
and resoiling the carpet, keep children and pets away from
surface until it is completely
dry.
If it is necessary to walk on damp carpet, place towels or white
cloths on the traffic areas.
If furniture must be replaced before the carpet is dry, use
plastic or aluminum _oil pads under legs of furniture so metal
slides or wood finishes will not stain the carpet.
b. If desired, the carpet may be rinsed. Rinsing is not
necessary
for cleaning, but it may improve the surface's
appearance
after it is dry.
If rinsing is desired, be careful not to over-wet the carpet or
upholstery,
Allow time for carpet or upholstery to dry
completely between
cleaning and rinsing.
To rinse, follow the same procedure for cleaning only using hot
tap water with no detergent in the upper clean solution tank.
c. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water and let air dry, Rinse
the solution tank cap and recovery tank lid and let air dry.
/
d. Remove debris from recovery tank filter and rinse with clean
water.
Note: If the filter must be removed for cleaning, it is easier to
replace if the filter is wet.
e. If desired, vacuum thoroughly after carpet has completely
dried. This will help reduce any shading left by the deep
cleaner's brushes.
To clean
nozzme
If lint or other debris becomes lodged in nozzle, do not
attempt to remove nozzle cover.
Pour one to two cups of clear water on a non-carpeted
floor
Do not pour water onto a wood floor.
Pick up water with your 'SteamVac' deep cleaner,
Repeat as
necessary until debris is flushed out of nozzle.
Some models have a nozzle clean-out tool, as shown below, for
removing debris or if a non-carpeted
floor is not available.
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.
To clean the outside of the machine, wipe off dirt with a cloth
dampened in warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use
solvent or petroleum based products to clean the machine,
