Carpet Cleaning

Picking up spills

Read “Before you begin cleaning”

instructions on page 10.

1. Fill clean solution tank (upper

ank) with HOOVER Carpet/

Upholstery Detergent according to

instructions on pages 8 and 9.

3-2

2. Move speed selector to LO for

gentle cleaning or Hl for normal

cleaning.

3. Dry hands and plug cord into a

properly grounded outlet.

Do not clean over floor electrical

outlets.

4. To avoid walking on damp carpet,

start at the end of the room farthest

from the door or path to sink where

tanks will be emptied and filled.

Step on handle release pedal and

lower handle to operating position;

turn carpet cleaner ON.

5. Squeeze trigger to release clean-

ing solution and

slowly push carpet

cleaner forward (equals one wet

stroke).

6. Continue to squeeze trigger and

slowly pull carpet cleaner back

toward you (second wet stroke).

Release trigger and slowly push car-

pet cleaner forward over area just

sprayed with solution (dry stroke).

Then

slowly pull carpet cleaner

back toward you without squeezing

trigger (dry stroke).

7. Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help

prevent streaking.

Keep nozzle flat on floor for both for-

war

d and r

everse strokes.

8. For heavily soiled areas, repeat

steps 5-7.

9. For particularly soiled carpet or

spots, use the Clean Surge™ button

(see following section). Avoid satu-

rating carpet, as noted below.

Note:

avoid saturating carpet,

do not use more than 4 wet

strokes over one area. Always end

with dry strokes.

It is best to alternate wet and dry

strokes as described above.

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 recovery tank

lid.)

Empty recovery tank when the motor

sound becomes higher pitched and

there is a loss in suction (see

“Automatic shut-off”, page 8).

When finished cleaning, follow “After

cleaning” instructions on pages 10

and 11.

Your HOOVER SteamVac™ carpet

cleaner may also be used to pick up

small liquid spills (1 gallon or

less, never to exceed 1/4 inch in

depth) on carpet, upholstery, or

bare floors.

For best results, pick up spills imme-

diately by placing the stair/uphol-

stery nozzle just above the spill and

suction up any residue on top of the

carpet. If the spill r

emains, place

either the stair/ upholstery nozzle or

floor nozzle with brushes turned OFF

3-1

If rinsing is desired, be careful not to

over-wet the carpet or upholstery.

Allow time for carpet or uphol-

tery to dry completely between

cleaning and rinsing. To rinse, fol-

low the same procedure for cleaning

nly using hot tap water with no

detergent in the upper clean solu-

tion tank.

c. Empty tanks, rinse with clear

water and let air dry. Rinse the solu-

tion 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. Vacuum thoroughly after carpet

has completely dried.

This will help

reduce any shading left by the car-

pet cleaner’s brushes.

in front of the spill, pull the nozzle

ver

y slowly over the spill

initially with

suction only. Repeat with spray and

suction.

When picking up spills on bare

floors, use only the floor nozzle with

the bare floor attachment in place

and speed selector in the OFF posi-

tion (this will help prevent spreading

the spill).

If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery noz-

zle is generally more effective for

removing it. Although no cleaning solu-

tion can completely r

emove all spots,

they can be tr

eated by following the

instructions pr

ovided by the manufac

turer of the carpet, upholstery, or bare

floor surface being cleaned.
