Before You Begin Cleaning

Use your Hoover upholstery and spot cleaner only if upholstery fabric is marked with a “W” (for “wet” clean) or “S/W” (for “solvent/dry” or “wet” clean). Don’t clean fabric marked “S” (“solvent/ dry” clean only).

Test for colorfastness in a small, hidden area.

Gently rub surface with a dampened white cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for color removal or bleed with a white paper towel.

OPERATION

1. Press Red Power button on top of unit to turn ON.

2. Hold tool about 5 inches over the spot or stain. Spray a generous amount of cleaning solution over the soiled area by pressing the trigger behind the tool and scrub the stain in a back and forth motion.

3. To lift the stain, suction up the dirt and cleaning solution by applying downward pressure on the front of the cleaning tool and pulling towards you. Repeat as needed.

For best results, pretreat stains with a HOOVER® spot treatment (see HOOVER®

Cleaning Solution Guide) to help loosen and remove even the most stubborn stains.

Distribute a generous amount of pretreat spray on spot, stain, or high traffic area.

Always follow specific directions found on solution label.

Wait 5-10 minutes before using machine.

STORAGE: Wrap cord around the cord hooks for convenient storage. Attach the plug end to the cord.

For fast cord release, simply turn the cord wraps 180 degrees to the right or left.

LUBRICATION: The motor is equipped with bearings which contain sufficient lubrication for their lifetime. The addi- tion of lubricant could cause damage.

Do not add lubricant to motor bearings.

Tools and formula may vary by model.

4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner needs servicing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug A) illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a met-a screw
