Cleaning upholstery and automobile interiors Read "Before you begin cleaning" instructions on page 8. Be sure to check the cleaning code on your upholstery. Use your HOOVER 'SteamVac' deep cleaner only on upholstery marked "W" or "W/S". Attach hose and solution tube as instructed on page 11. Fill clean solution tank according to instructions on pages 6 and 7. Use 5 ounces of HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery Detergent. Dry hands and plug deep cleaner into a properly grounded outlet. Turn deep cleaner ON. Storage Before storing: • Empty solution tank and rinse thoroughly with clean water. • Replace empty solution tank and turn deep cleaner ON. Squeeze trigger and push deep cleaner forward and back several times to expel any solution remaining in the deep cleaner's system. (Do not use deep cleaner on wood floors.) • Empty recovery tank and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow underside of deep cleaner to air dry thoroughly before storing deep cleaner on a carpeted or wood surface. Do not store deep cleaner with a full solution tank in place. Gently press the nozzle onto the fabric. Press the solution trigger and slowly pull the nozzle over the fabric. Overlap strokes by one-half inch to help prevent streaking. Make additional strokes without pressing the trigger to remove more moisture. To clean in corners or creases, lift the nozzle one-half inch from the fabric and press the solution trigger. Vacuum up the solution with the nozzle without pressing the trigger. Lubrication The motor is equipped with bearings which contain sufficient lubrication for the life of the motor. The addition of lubricant could cause damage. Do not add lubricant to motor bearings. For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make crisscrossing strokes to the original pattern; overlap each pass. Make no more than 2 passes with the solution over any one area to prevent overwetting and damage to fabric. If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the upholstery is completely dry before using the nozzle again. When finished cleaning, follow "After cleaning" instructions on page 9 and "After using stair/upholstery nozzle" instructions on page 12. Continued § Cleaning upholstery 13
