The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician. 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. 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. Im Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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 illustrated in sketch (A). This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical 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 plugged into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

At that time the red float disk will rise to the top of the recovery tank lid (E). The deep cleaner will no longer pick up dirty solution and the motor sound will become noticeably higher in pitch. When this happens turn deep cleaner off and empty recovery tank before continuing use. Agitator speed selector Your 'SteamVac' deep cleaner has three agitator brush settings. HI - for normal cleaning of carpet and bare floors LO - for gentle cleaning of carpets and bare floors OFF - for cleaning carpets and bare floors when brushing is not desired.

H Brush indicator The indicator will spin (F) whenbrush the deep cleaner is turned ON and the brushes are rotating. If the indicator does not spin and the pattern is visible (G) when the deep cleaner is turned ON, the brushes are not rotating. There are three reasons why the brushes may net be rotating: 1. Brush speed selector set on OFF (see previous section). 2. Handle in upright position (see "Cleaning mode indicator," p. 6). To clean screen (H), turn deep cleaner off and disconnect from electrical outlet. Remove clear cover and wipe off screen with a damp cloth. Snap cover back into position.

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. a. Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a 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 'SteamVac' deep cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner. d. 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. b. For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your HOOVER 'SteamVac' deep cleaner 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. e. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with HOOVER® PreCleaner*Test PreCleaner for colorfastness by first spraying it on a hidden area; wait ten minutes and blot with white paper towels or cloth. If no color change is visible, spray PreCleaner onto spots and traffic areas. Wait at least ten minutes. Use your 'SteamVac' deep cleaner to pick up PreCleaner and spot. Repeat until spot is removed; carefully scrub with a household scrub brush if necessary. c.Test for colorfastness - Mix detergent and water according to the instructions under "Fill clean solution tank" on pages 7 After cleaning a. 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, use plastic or aluminum foil pads under legs of furniture so metal slides or wood finishes will not stain the carpet. b. If desired, the carpet may be rinsed. Rinsing is not necessary for cleaning, but it may Improve the surface's appearance after it is dry If rinsing is desired, be careful not to over-wet the carpet or upholstery. Raise handle of deep cleaner to upright position and reposition upper clean solution tank. Allow time for carpet or upholstery to dry completely between cleaning and rinsing. To rinse, follow the same procedure for cleaning only using hot tap water with no detergent in the upper clean solution tank. c. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water and let air dry. Rinse the solution tank cap and recovery tank lid and let air dry. Do not saturate PreCleaner. carpet or upholstery with If you do not have access to the PreCleaner Spray, double the amount of HOOVER Detergent (use 2 capfulls or 10 oz. per 1 gallon) in the clean solution tank. *Available at additional cost if not included with your model. No cleaning solution removes all stains from all carpets. Stain removal varies with the type of spill, time elapsed before removal, carpet material, and carpet type. f.To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray. g.To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/carpet to a nonwood bare floor surface or place waterproof material (eg plastic) underneath them before cleaning. See pages 10-14 for instructions on various cleaning tasks. I_ld. tank Remove debris filter and rinsefrom with recovery clean water. Note: If the filter must be removed for cleaning, it is easier to replace if the filter is wet. e. If desired, vacuum thoroughly after carpet has completely dried. This will help reduce any shading left by the deep cleaner's brushes. To clean nozzle If lint or other debris becomes lodged in nozzle, do not attempt to remove nozzle cover. Pour one to two cups of clear water on a non-carpeted floor. Do not pour water onto a wood floor. Pick up water with your 'SteamVac' deep cleaner.

Your HOOVER SteamVac deep 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 immediately by placing the stair/upholstery nozzle just above the spill and suction up any residue on top of the carpet. If the spill remains, place either the stair/ upholstery nozzle or floor nozzle with brushes turned OFF in front of the spill, pull the nozzle very slowly over the spill initially with suction only. Repeat with spray and suction. When picking up spills on bare floors, For heavily soiled areas, repeat. To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet strokes over one area. Always end with dry strokes. Squeeze trigger to release cleaning solution and slowly push deep cleaner forward (equals one wet stroke). Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull deep cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke). Release trigger and slowly push deep cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke).
