GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

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 inthe risk of electric shock. Checkwith a qualified electrician or service personif

youare in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Donot 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 metal screw.

NOTE:In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian

Electrical Code.

BEFOREYOUBEGINCLEANING

1. Vacuum thoroughly - Forcarpet, use a HOOVER® vacuum

with a vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool attachments. Use a

crevice tool to reach into tufts andfolds. Do not use the carpet

cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.

2. Forupholstery, check cleaning code - Use your HOOVER®

carpet washer only if the upholstery 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). If your upholstery does not have a code, seek

professional assistance.

3.Test forcolorfastness - Wet a white absorbent 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 papertowel or cloth. Ifsurface has

more than one color, check all colors.

4. When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of areato be

cleaned (may not be necessary if only high traffic areas are to

be cleaned).

Forfurniture too heavy to move, place aluminum foil or wax

paper under legs.This will preventwood finishesfrom staining

carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and draperies.

DIRTYWATERTANK

Your carpet washer is equipped with a shut off float within

your dirty water tank. When the dirty water tank becomes

full, the float will rise, shutting off the air flow thru the

nozzle.

Oncethe 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 cleaning solution.

Other Solutions may generate excessive foam which will

cause the float to rise prematurely and shut off the suction.

A higher concentration of shampoo may cause excessive

foaming.

release. Pulltank out at a slight angle.

3.11 Toempty dirty water tank, pull up on the 2 latches (A)
