Hoover E1 owner manual Emptying Dirty Water Tank, Placing Dirty Water Tank in Base of Cleaner

EMPTYING DIRTY WATER TANK (continued)

• IMPORTANT •

•You will hear a noticeable change in the pitch of the cleaner. This indicates a need to empty the dirty water tank.

•The float in your Carpet Cleaner is the blue piece in the dirty water tank lid, and will shut off the suction when the dirty water tank is full.

•For best results, use smooth, steady motion keeping the nozzle flat against the carpeting. Tipping the cleaner and breaking the seal of the nozzle and carpeting will cause the float to rise and shut off the suction.

•Once the float is activated, empty the dirty water tank.

•If the dirty water tank does not appear full, turn the power switch off and wait for the float to settle and reset.

•If the float repeatedly shuts off the suction, empty the dirty water tank.

•For best results, use only Hoover® Brand Carpet & Upholstery Detergents . Other Solutions may generate excessive foam which will cause the float to rise prematurely and shut off the suction.

•Use two capfuls (4 ounces) of Hoover® Brand Carpet & Upholstery Detergents per fill-up of the clean water tank. A higher concentration of detergent may cause excessive foaming.
