Step 2 8. Release trigger and slowly push cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly pull cleaner back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke). Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the Dirty Water Tank lid (Pass over the same area a minimum of 4 times = 2 while squeezing the trigger and 2 without). NOTE: For best results, use straight, parallel strokes. Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help prevent streaking. 9. If cleaning on Berber, Natural Fiber, or Soft Fiber carpeting, first test a small hidden area of carpet by running the carpet washer over it. If no fuzzing or overwetting occurs, continue cleaning. Avoid overwetting Berber carpets. If you have any questions or concerns, consult with your carpet manufacturer on deep cleaning recommendations. 10. Keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward and reverse strokes. For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the Dirty Water Tank lid.) Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see "Automatic shut-off"). When finished cleaning, follow "After Cleaning" instructions on page 12. 30 11. For best cleaning results, Hoover recommends to rinse the carpet with water only. This will remove residual carpet cleaning solution from your carpets. To Rinse with water only, set Wash/Rinse Selector to rinse (Fig. 30) and repeat steps 7 and 8. 12. For heavily soiled areas, repeat cleaning process. Avoid saturating carpet. NOTE: It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above. IMPORTANT To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes. AFTER USE 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, place plastic or aluminum foil under legs of furniture so metal slides or wood finishes will not stain the carpet. 1. See "Dirty Water Tank: How to Empty" page 9. 2. See "Dirty Water Tank: How to Clean" page 9. NOTE: Let Dirty Water Tank and Dirty Water Tank Lid air dry before Carpet Washer is stored. 3. See "Cleaning Nozzle" page 16. 4. See "Cleaning Brushes" page 16. 5. Remove lint from filter screen located behind nozzle.
