Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your cleaner will ensure contin- ued cleaning effectiveness.
Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is recommended that you change the filter bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If more dirt than this accumulates, your cleaner may not operate effectively.
NOTE: Check and change the filter bag frequently when using cleaner on new carpet due to rapid accumulation of carpet fluff.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder, cornstarch, fireplace ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the paper bag and may cause it to burst even though it is only partially full of dirt. When cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change the filter bag often.
Where to buy
Filter bags may be purchased from your local Authorized Hoover Dealer (Depot), Leading Retailers, from Hoover Factory Service Centers, using the order form packed with your cleaner, or through The Hoover Company online at
www.hoover.com.
When ordering bags, be sure to give the model number of your cleaner.
