Carpet Cleaning

Read “Before you begin cleaning” instructions on page 10.

1.Fill clean water tank according to instructions for Fig. 2-11.

2.Fill detergent container with HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery Detergent according to instructions for Figs. 2-12 to 2-14.

3.Set SpinScrub mode selector to

POWER SCRUB.

4.Dry hands and plug cord into a prop- erly grounded outlet.

Do not clean over floor electrical out- lets.

5.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.

Step on handle release pedal and lower handle to operating position.

6.Set Rinse Setting switch to WASH- AutoRinse. Turn cleaner ON (Fig. 3-5).

3-5

7.Squeeze trigger to release cleaning solution and slowly push carpet cleaner forward (equals one wet stroke).

8.Continue to squeeze trigger and

slowly pull carpet cleaner back toward

you (second wet stroke). The carpet cleaner rinses the carpet on the back- ward pass. Note: To assure proper rinsing, it is important to keep the carpet cleaner on the same path backward as forward.

9.Release trigger and slowly push car- pet cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly pull carpet cleaner back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke). Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the recovery tank lid.

10.For best results, use straight, parallel strokes as shown in the diagram below. Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help pre- vent streaking.

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

11.If you would like to rinse the carpet with water only, set Rinse Setting switch to RINSE (Fig. 3-8). Repeat steps 7-9. In this setting, rinsing will be done on both forward and reverse strokes.

Rinsing is not necessary, but will help remove detergent residue and help your carpet look fresher.

12.For heavily soiled areas, repeat steps 6-9. Avoid saturating carpet, as noted below.

Note: 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, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the recovery tank lid.)

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 page 11.
