Hoover® FloorSense™ Technology
Hoover® REACTTM with FloorSenseTM technology automatically optimizes cleaning performance on carpet and hard floors. On carpet, FloorSenseTM automatically increases brush roll speed to lift deep-down embedded dirt. On hard floors, FloorSenseTM automatically slows the brush roll to prevent scattering of dirt across the floor
The FloorSenseTM Dashboard displays useful functions of your vacuum. When FloorSenseTM is active, lights on the dashboard will pulse when sensing floor type. Once FloorSenseTM has determined the optimal setting for your floor type, you will see CARPET or HARD FLOOR illuminated on the dashboard.
Tip - To allow FloorSense™ to determine floor type and optimize brush roll speed automatically; ensure the FloorSense™ control is in the ON 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:

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

3. To remove, pull up on the tab provided.

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

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.
Tip - DO NOT RINSE HEPA FILTERS. Replace filters when heavily discolored. Do not use your vacuum without all of the filters in place.
