8 Emptying recovery tank - Before you begin
How to use
Before you begin cleaning
a. Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a vacuurn
cleaner with an agitator for best results. Vacuum uphol-
stery with a vacuurn cleaner with cleaning tool attachments.
Use a crevice tool to reach into tufts and folds. Do not use
the 'SteamVac' deep cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
b. For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your
HOOVER 'SteamVac' cleaning machine only if the uphol-
stery fabric is marked with a "W" (for "wet" clean) or "S/W"
(for "solvent/dry" or "wet" clean). DO not clean fabric
marked "S" ("solvent/dry" clean only). It your upholstery
does not have El code, seek professional assistance.
c. Test for colorfastness - Mix detergent and water
according to the instructions under "Fill clean solution tank"
on pages 6 and 7. Wet a white absorbant cloth with the
solution. In a small, hidden area, gently rub the surface
with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for
color removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If
surface has more than one color, check all colors.
d. When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of
area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only high
traffic areas are to be Gleaned). For furniture too heavy to
move, place aluminum foil or wax paper under legs. This
will prevent wood finishes from staining carpet. Pin up
furniture skirts and draperies.
e. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with
HOOVER@ PreCleaner* - Test PreCleaner for colorfast-
ness by first spraying it on a hidden area; wait ten minutes
and blot with white paper towels or cloth.
If no color change is visible, spray PreOleaner onto spots
and traffic areas. Wait at least ten minutes. Use your
'SteamVac' deep cleaner to pick up PreOleaner and spot.
Repeat until spot is removed; carefully scrub with a
household scrub brush if necessary . DO not saturate
carpet or upholstery with PreOleaner.
No Gleaning solution removes all stains from all carpets.
Stain removal varies with the type of spill, time elapsed
before removal, carpet material, and carpet type.
If you do not have access to the PreCleaner Spray, double
the amount of HOOVER Detergent (use 2 capfuls or 10 oz.
per 1 gallon) in the clean solution tank.
_Available at additional cost if not included with your model.
f. To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to
protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.
g. To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors
underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/carpet
to a non-wood bare floor surface or place waterproof
rnaterial (e.g. plastic) underneath thern before cleaning.
See pages 9-13 for instructions on various cleaning tasks.
