Before you begin cleaning

• Vacuum thoroughly – For carpet, use a HOOVER® vacuum cleaner with an agitator for best results. Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool to reach into tufts and folds. Do not use the carpet cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
• For upholstery, check cleaning code – Use your HOOVER® carpet washer 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.
• Test for colorfastness – Wet a white absorbent 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.
• 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.
• Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with an appropriate Hoover Cleaning Solutions, see “Cleaning Solutions” section. Follow Directions on bottle. *Available at additional cost if not included with your model.
• To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.
• To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/ carpet to a non-wood hard floor surface or place waterproof material (e.g. plastic) underneath them before cleaning.

Washing Carpet

Read the “Before you Begin Cleaning” instructions.

1. Fill the Clean Water Tank according to instructions.
2. Fill the solution tank with Hoover® solution according to instructions.
3. Dry hands and plug the cord into a properly grounded outlet.

note: 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.

step 1

1. Set Wash/Rinse Selector to Wash. Turn cleaner ON.
2. Squeeze the trigger to apply the cleaning solution and slowly push the cleaner forward (equals one wet stroke).
3. Continue to squeeze the trigger and slowly pull cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke).

step 2

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.

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.

Note: It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes- -as described above.

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.
