GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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 inthe 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.

BEFOREYOUBEGINCLEANING
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 andfolds. 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 white papertowel or cloth. Ifsurface has
more than one color, check all colors.
4. 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 preventwood finishesfrom staining
carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and draperies.
5. 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.
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
underneatharea rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/carpet to a
non-wood hard floor surface or place waterproof material (e.g.
plastic) underneaththem before cleaning.

DIRTYWATERTANK
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 air flow thru the
nozzle.
Oncethe 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 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.

release. Pull tank out at a slight angle.
3.11 To empty dirty water tank, pull up on the 2 latches (A)
