Before You Begin Cleaning: Pretreating: Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly with a HOOVER® vacuum before use. Don't use the carpet cleaner as a traditional 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. 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. 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 floors underneath area rugs or carpet, place waterproof material (ex: plastic) underneath them before cleaning. ! 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. IMPORTANT: For full suction, it is important that the Dirty Water Tank is properly secured before cleaning. 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. 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 float rise and shut off suction at the same time. 9

Before You Begin Cleaning:
Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly with a HOOVER®
vacuum before use.
Don’t use the carpet cleaner as a traditional 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 floors 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 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
