GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.  This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are  in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a  qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (A) illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D)  may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a  permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE:

• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with this product, as they may cause damage.

• Store appropriately indoors in a dry place. Do not expose the machine to freezing temperatures.

• To assist in reducing drying time, be certain the area is well ventilated when using detergents and other cleaners with this machine.

• To help prevent matting and resoiling, avoid contact with carpets until they are dry.
  Keep children and pets away from carpets until they are completely dry.

• Do not store extractor with a solution in tanks.

• With brush rolls on, do not allow the cleaner to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to the floor can result.

• Do not use this extractor and accessories on hard floors. Using this machine on hard floors may scratch or damage your floor.

• 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 hazards,  after use (a) do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces and remove to a hard surface and (b) place unit on absorbent material (such as a towel) to soak up drips.

• Do not use sharp objects to clean out the hose as they can cause damage.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

BASE AND LOWER HANDLE ASSEMBLY

1. 2.1 Stand base in an upright position. Push handle onto the base.
2. 2.2 Turn the dial counterclockwise to the “LOCK” position. The dial should stop when locked and the handle should feel secure.
3. 2.3 Place clean water tank securely on the handle above dirty water tank until it snaps into place.

CORD STORAGE
Wrap cord around cord hooks for convenient storage. Attach the plug end to the cord.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN CLEANING

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 a white paper towel or cloth. If the surface has more than one color, check all colors.

4. When cleaning the entire floor, move furniture out of the 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 the legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining the carpet. Pinup furniture skirts and draperies.

5. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with appropriate Hoover Cleaning Solutions, see “Cleaning Solutions” section.
   Follow Directions on the bottle.
   *Available at additional cost if not included with your model.

6. To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.

7. 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.

ATTENTION
Prior to use, consult with Carpet Manufacturer on cleaning recommendations for natural fiber carpeting (including silk and wool), soft carpeting, and loop Berber carpeting. Do not use rugs or carpets when dry cleaning is recommended.

ATTENTION
Some Berber, Natural Fiber, and Soft Fiber carpets can fuzz with wear. Some vacuums & carpet cleaners can worsen this carpet wear. Test a hidden area before using on a full room & consult with your carpet manufacturer on cleaning recommendations.

| CAUTION|
---|---|---
DO NOT USE THIS EXTRACTOR AND ACCESSORIES ON HARD  FLOORS. USING THIS MACHINE ON HARD FLOORS MAY SCRATCH OR DAMAGE YOUR FLOOR.
| CAUTION|
---|---|---
Do not clean over-floor electrical outlets.
| WARNING|
---|---|---
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock due to internal component damage, use only HOOVER® cleaning fluid intended for use with the appliance.

CARPET CLEANING

1. 3.6 Plug cord into an electrical outlet. Step on the handle release pedal, to put the unit in a cleaning position.

2. 3.7 Step on the power switch to turn the machine ON (I=ON).

3. 3.8 Squeeze trigger (C) to apply cleaning solution and slowly push cleaner forward (equals one wet stroke). Continue to squeeze the trigger and slowly pull cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke).

4. 3.9 Release the trigger and slowly push the cleaner forward over the area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly pull cleaner back toward you without squeezing the trigger (dry stroke). Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the nozzle (Pass over the same area a minimum of 4 times = 2 while squeezing the trigger and  2 without). For spots and high traffic areas use CLEAN BOOST ™. To use CLEAN BOOST ™ to remove those tough stains, apply extra cleaning solution by squeezing the trigger as you normally would and also pressing the Clean Boost™ trigger at the same time.
   NOTE: For best results, use straight, parallel strokes. Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help prevent streaking.

5. If cleaning on Berber, Natural Fiber, or Soft Fiber carpeting, first test a small hidden area of the 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.

---|---
|

| CAUTION|
---|---|---
Detergents contain Anionic and Nonionic Surfactants. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact with eyes, flush with cold water for 15 minutes. In case of contact with skin, wash with water. If irritation persists, call a physician.

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 nozzle.)

NOTE: Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic shut-off”) and clean filter of dirt/debris to maintain strong suction performance.
For best cleaning results, Hoover recommends rinsing the carpet with water only. This will remove the residual carpet cleaning solutions from your carpets. To rinse with water only,  fill Solution Tank with water and repeat step 3.9.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat the cleaning process. Avoid saturating the carpet.

NOTE: It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above.
Wrap cord around hooks for convenient storage. Attach the plug end to the cord.

DIRTY WATER TANK
Your carpet washer is equipped with a shut-off float within your dirty water tank. When the dirty water tank becomes full, the float will rise, shutting off the airflow through the nozzle.
Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank. If the dirty water tank does not appear full, turn the power switch off and wait for the float to settle and reset. If the float repeatedly shuts off the suction, empty the dirty water tank. For best results, use only the Hoover® brand cleaning solution. Other Solutions may generate excessive foam which will cause the float to rise prematurely and shut off the suction. A higher concentration of shampoo may cause excessive foaming.

How to Empty

1. 3.10 Grasp dirty water tank handle and push latch to release. Pull tank out at a slight angle.
2. 3.11 To empty the dirty water tank, pull up on the 2 latches to open and remove the top of the tank to empty.
3. 3.12 Wipe and clean the filter of dirt and debris. It is critical to keep the filter clean to maintain strong suction performance
4. 3.13 Replace tank lid with both latches locked after cleaning. Latches will snap when they are locked. Failure to do so will result in poor suction performance.
5. 3.14 Insert the dirty water tank back into the cleaner until it snaps into place.

NOTE: Do not open latches before removing the tank from the machine.

IMPORTANT
Be sure to remove any debris that has accumulated in the screen above the float. Keeping the filter clean is critical to maintaining strong suction performance.

IMPORTANT
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes.

IMPORTANT
If the sound of the motor changes to a high pitch, this indicates the dirty water tank is full and must be emptied.

| CAUTION|
---|---|---
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 hazards, after use (a) do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces and remove to a hard surface and (b) place unit on absorbent material (such as a towel)  to soak up drips.
|
---|---

IMPORTANT
Do not store cleaner with a solution in Clean Water Solution Tank or dirty water in Dirty Water Tank. Mineral deposits and mildew can form which will affect the performance of your carpet cleaner.

CLEANING UPHOLSTERY

Read “Before You Begin Cleaning” instructions.
Be sure to check Hoover Cleaning Guide on page 6 and the cleaning code on your upholstery. Use your cleaner only on upholstery marked “W” or “W/S”.

1. Attach hose and solution tube as instructed.
2. Place handle in an upright position. Brushes will not rotate while the handle is in an upright position.
3. Fill Clean Water Tank according to instructions on (Pg. 7).
4. Attach tool to end of the hose.
5. Dry hands and plug cleaner into a properly grounded outlet.
6. Turn cleaner ON.
7.  4.7 Gently press the tool onto the fabric. Press the trigger and slowly pull the nozzle over the fabric.
8. Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help prevent streaking.
9. Make additional strokes without pressing the trigger to remove more solution. To clean in corners or creases, lift the tool one-half inch from the fabric and press the solution trigger.
10. 4.8 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 over-wetting and damage to the fabric.
11. For best cleaning results, Hoover recommends rinsing the upholstery with water only. This will remove the residual cleaning solution from your upholstery. Simply fill your clean water tank with water only and repeat steps 7 and 8.

If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the upholstery is completely dry before using the tool again.
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” and “After Using Tool” instructions.

The Warranty Period will not be extended by any replacement of batteries, parts, or products or by virtue of any repair performed  under this warranty.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REMEDY, AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE  LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,  ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT WILL WARRANTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR  CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE TO OWNER OR ANY PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH OWNER, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR STRICT PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THIS WARRANTY FAILS  OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO WARRANTIES THAT ARISE BY OPERATION OF LAW, IF  APPLICABLE, SHALL EXCEED THE DURATION OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN. Warrantor’s liability for damages to you for any costs whatsoever arising out of this statement of the limited warranty shall be limited to the amount paid for this product at the time of original purchase.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, disclaimers of implied warranties, or limitations on the duration of implied warranties, so the above exclusions, disclaimers, and/or limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
GENUINE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES:
We recommend using only genuine HOOVER® solutions (for carpet and spot cleaners), parts, and accessories. Damage caused by use with other than genuine HOOVER ® solutions, parts, and accessories is not covered by and may void your warranty.
