Hoover ® FloorSense ™ Technology

Hoover ® REACTTM with FloorSense™ technology automatically optimizes cleaning performance on carpet and hard floors.

On carpet, FloorSense™ automatically increases brush roll speed to lift deep-down embedded dirt.

On hard floors, FloorSense™ automatically slows the brush roll to prevent scattering of dirt across the floor.

The FloorSense™ Dashboard displays useful functions of your vacuum. When FloorSense™ is active, lights on the dashboard will pulse when sensing floor type.

Once FloorSense™ has determined the optimal setting for your floor type, you will see CARPET or HARD FLOOR illuminated on the dashboard.

1. When cleaning CARPET, FloorSense™ automatically increases brush roll speed to lift deep-down embedded dirt.
2. On HARD FLOOR, FloorSense™ automatically slows the brush roll to prevent scattering of dirt across the floor.
3. BRUSH ROLL will be displayed when the brush roll is jammed or overloaded. Refer to the Maintenance section or the Hoover App for directions on how to clean the brush roll.

Tip - To allow FloorSense™ to determine floor type and optimize brush roll speed automatically; ensure the FloorSense™ control is in the ON position.

Using Your Hoover ® REACT ™ Upright

Upright Mode

1. Step on nozzle and pull handle back.
2. Turn ON vacuum.
3. Allow FloorSense™ to detect floor type and automatically adjust settings.

CAUTION! When vacuum is reclined with brush roll switched on, never leave the vacuum in one position for any long period of time.

Tip - For optimal performance, ensure the FloorSense™ control is switched to the ON position.

Above Floor Mode

1. Press wand or handle release and pull handle up.
2. Attach cleaning accessory to the end of the wand or handle.

CAUTION! Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. To avoid personal injury or damage, and to prevent the cleaner from falling, always place cleaner at the bottom of the stairs or on the floor. Do no place cleaner on stairs or furniture, as it may result in injury or damage. When using tools, always ensure handle is in the upright position.

Maintenance

Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a service center prior to continuing use.

Hoover® REACTTM vacuums should have regular maintenance checks to maintain optimal performance and suction. Refer to this manual or your Hoover App to learn how to maintain your vacuum.

Notice: A Thermal Protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the Thermal Protector activates, the cleaner will stop running. If this happens proceed as follows:

1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty the dirt cup.
3. Inspect the nozzle inlet, hose connector, hose, dirt cup inlet, cyclonic filter, rinsable filters and HEPA filters for any obstructions. Clear obstructions if present.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools off 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. Refer to the Warranty section in the user manual for servicing information.

Emptying the Dirt Cup:

1. Remove dirt cup by pressing the dirt cup release button.
2. Hold dirt cup over a trash can and press the dirt cup trap door release to empty the dirt cup.

5. Let your filters dry for 24 hours before replacing into vacuum.

Tip - Replace filters when heavily discolored. Make sure filters are flush to the bottom of the filter housing.

HEPA Filters

Hoover ® REACT ™ products have 2 HEPA filters. Refer to Getting to Know Your Hoover ® REACT ™ Professional for location.

1. Locate HEPA filters on each side of the vacuum below the dirt cup.
2. Unscrew the vent cover located on the bottom of the canister to access filters.
3. Remove filters and tap on side of trash can to release excess dirt.
