Be sure to check the cleaning code on your upholstery. Use your deep cleaner only on upholstery marked “W” or “W/S”.

2.Place handle in upright position.

Agitator brushes will not rotate while handle is in upright position.

3.Fill clean water tank according to instructions for Figs. 2-9 to 2-12.

4.Fill detergent container with HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery Detergent according to instructions for Figs. 2-13 to 2-15.

8.Gently press the tool onto the fabric. Press the trigger and slowly pull the noz- zle over the fabric.

9.Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help prevent streaking.

Make additional strokes without pressing the trigger to remove more moisture.

10.To clean in corners or creases, lift the tool one-half inch from the fabric and press the solution trigger.

11.Vacuum up the solution with the tool without pressing the trigger.

12.For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make crisscrossing strokes to the original pattern; overlap each pass (Fig. 3-22).

3-22

Make no more than 2 passes with the solution or rinse over any one area to prevent over-wetting and damage to fabric.

If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the upholstery is completely dry before using the tool again.

13.Empty recovery tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic shut-off”, Fig. 2-6).

When finished cleaning, follow “After cleaning” instructions on pages 9 & 10 and “After using tool” instructions on page 12.
