3. How to clean

Before you begin cleaning

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 vac- uum cleaner.

b. For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your HOOVER ‘SteamVac’ deep cleaner only if the upholstery fab- ric 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.

c. Test for colorfastness - Mix detergent and water according to the instructions under “Fill clean solution tank” on pages 7

Unlatch back part of tank lid and remove lid.

Empty tank. Pour dirty water out from the rear of the tank (F).

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.

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 pre- vent wood finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and draperies.

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 nec- essary.

The lid replaces in a hinge-like man- ner. Position the front of lid under tabs

(G)on front of tank. Rotate lid down onto tank. Make sure that the lid is secure on all sides before placing tank on cleaner.

For full suction, it is important that the recovery tank lid is prop- erly secured before cleaning.

Do not saturate carpet or upholstery with P re C l e a n e r.

If you do not have access to the PreCleaner Spray, double the amount of HOOVER Detergent (use 2 capfuls or 10 oz. per 1 gallon) in the clean solution tank.

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 alu- minum foil to protect wood or metal sur- faces from possible water spray.

g. To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors underneath area rugs/car- pet, either move area rugs/ carpet to a non- wood bare floor surface or place waterproof material (e.g. plastic) underneath them before cleaning.

See pages 10-14 for instructions on various cleaning tasks.
