Grounding
Instructions
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. 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.

When the recovery tank (lower tank) is
full the automatic shutoff mechanism
will shut off the deep cleaner suction {suction will be noticeably reduced).
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.

Your 'SteamVac' deep cleaner has
three agitator brush settings.

bare floors
LO - for gentle cleaning of carpets and
bare floors
OFF - for cleaning carpets and bare
floors when brushing is not desired.
(Such as when picking up liquid spills.
See page 10.)

and 8. 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.

removal varies with the type of spill, time
elapsed before removal, carpet material,
and carpet type.

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.

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.

Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly

back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke).
When finished cleaning, follow "After

use only the floor nozzle with the bare
floor attachment in place and speed
selector in the OFF position (this will help
prevent spreading the spill).
If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery nozzle is
generally more effective for removing it.
Although no cleaning solution can completely remove all spots, they can be treated by following the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the carpet, upholstery,
or bare floor surface being cleaned.
Do not use the SteamVac deep cleaner
to pick up flammable or combustible liquids or chemicals,
