Cleaning upholstery

Read “Before you begin cleaning” instructions on page 9.

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

1.Place handle in upright position.

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

2.Fill clean solution tank with HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery Detergent according to instructions for Figs. 2a-8 to 2-14.

3.Attach tool to end of hose.

Do not point tools toward people or pets.

4.Dry hands and plug deep cleaner into a properly grounded outlet.

5.Turn deep cleaner ON. If necessary, refer to “Before using tool” section to remove air from the system.

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

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

8.To clean in corners or creases, lift the tool one-half inch from the fabric and press the solution trigger. The crevice tool (included in some models) is very useful for this task.

10.For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process. Make crisscrossing strokes to the original pattern; overlap each pass.

Make no more than 2 passes with the solution 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.

11.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 9 and “After using tool” instructions on page 12.
