After cleaning - Cleaning carpet - Picking up spills

After cleaning

Slide tool into nozzle and remove debris.

To clean the outside of the machine wipe off dirt with a cloth

dampened in warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use

solvent or petroleum based products to clean the machine.

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. Repeat as

necessary until debris is flushed out of nozzle.

If some debris is left or if a non-carpeted floor is not available,

use the nozzle clean-out tool. Disconnect carpet cleaning

machine from electrical outlet.

When finished, follow “After cleaning” instructions on page 8.

To clean nozzle

e. If desired, vacuum thoroughly after carpet has completely

dried.

Note: If the filter must be removed for cleaning, it is easier to

replace if the filter is wet.

d. Remove debris from recovery tank filter and rinse with clean

water.

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 neces-

sary for cleaning, but it may improve the surface’s appearance

after it is dry.

c. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water and let air dry. Rinse the

solution tank cap and recovery tank lid and let air dry.

To rinse, follow the same procedure for cleaning only using hot

tap water with no detergent in the upper clean solution tank.

If rinsing is desired, be careful not to over-wet the carpet or

upholstery. Allow time for carpet or upholstery to dry

completely between cleaning and rinsing.

Read “Before you begin cleaning” instructions on page 7.

Cleaning carpet

Step on handle release pedal and lower handle to operating

position; turn carpet cleaning machine on.

When finished cleaning, follow “After cleaning” instructions on

page 7.

NOTE: Check the recovery tank for fullness often. Empty

tank if it appears full even if automatic shut-off (pg. 5) has not

engaged.

Squeeze trigger to release cleaning solution and slowly push

carpet cleaning machine forward (equals one wet stroke).

Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull carpet cleaning

machine back toward you (second wet stroke).

Fill clean solution tank (upper tank) according to instructions on

pages 5 and 6. Use 5 ounces of HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery

Detergent.

Dry hands and plug cord into a properly grounded outlet. Do

not clean over floor electrical outlets.

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 .

Release trigger and slowly push carpet cleaning machine

forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then

slowly pull carpet cleaning machine back to ward you without

squeezing trigger (dry stroke).

Keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward and reverse strokes.

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.

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

For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of carpet, en

with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water

is visible passing through the recovery tank lid.)

Picking up spills

Your HOOVER ‘SteamVac’ carpet cleaning machine may also be

used to pick up small liquid spills (1 gallon or less, never to

exceed

/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 resi-

due on top of the carpet. If the spill remains, place either the

stair/upholstery nozzle or floor nozzle 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, use only the floor nozzle with the bare floor

cleaning tool attached.

If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery nozzle is generally more effec-

tive 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’ carpet cleaning machine to pick

up flammable or cumbustible liquids or chemicals.
