the filter bag fills with dirt.

There are three conditions that will cause

the indicator to become completely red:

up, clogging the bag pores; change the

bag.

3. If there is a blockage at the front of the

cleaner, in the hose, tools or at the bag

opening; remove the blockage (see

“Clearing blockages”section).

3-1

3-2 3-3

Changing filter bag

Disconnect cleaner from electrical

outlet.

Where to buy

Filter bags may be purchased from

Authorized Hoover Dealers (Depot),

Leading Retailers, from Hoover Factory

Service Centers, or through The Hoover

Company on-line at www.hoover.com.

What to buy

To assure cleaning effectiveness, use

only Genuine HOOVER® Allergen

Filtration Type Y disposable filter

bags.

Replacing bag door

Reposition bag door by placing tab on

bottom of door into opening (C).

Press top of door to snap securely shut.

3. Maintenance

Familiarize yourself with these home

maintenance tasks as proper use and

care of your cleaner will ensure contin-

ued cleaning effectiveness.

Filter bag

When to replace

Check filter bag from time to time.

Change the filter bag when dirt reaches

the dotted line. If more dirt than this

accumulates, your cleaner will not oper-

ate effectively.

Note: All new carpet has loose fibers

which can fill the bag quickly while

vacuuming. This type of debris does

not activate the “Check Bag” indicator,

available on some models.

So, if you are using the cleaner on

new carpet, be sure to change the fil-

ter bag often, even if you have a

“Check Bag” indicator and it does not

show red.

CAUTION: Very fine materials, such

as face powder or cornstarch, may

seal the filter bag and may cause it to

burst even though it is only partially

full of dirt. When cleaner is used to

remove material of this nature,

change filter bag often.

It is imperative that you use only gen-

uine HOOVER filter bags made by The

Hoover Company to assure your clean-

er operates at peak performance.

HOOVER bags can be identified by

these trademarks —

Removing bag door

door and pull door forward.

Remove door.

bag

Grasp filter bag collar (A) and pull collar

from tube (B).

Note: Do not clean out old filter bag and

reuse. Discard used filter bag.

Hold new filter bag as shown. Align open-

ing in filter bag with (B).

Push (A) firmly onto (B).

Tuck in filter bag.

How to reattach filter

door

The filter door is designed with a

“break-away“ feature which allows it to

snap free if it is pushed open too far.

To reattach, align hinges (C) of cover

with slots on sides of filter area.

Press door back into place.

Replacing final filter

The final filter assists in the filtration

process to return clean air to the room.

This filter will become dirty and needs to

be replaced about once a year to main-

tain efficient filtration.

To remove final filter, first open the door

on the side of the cleaner (Fig. 3-6).

Grasp filter (B) and pull it straight out.

Reposition new filter by reversing this

procedure.

Should you want to replace this filter,

ask for HOOVER part No. 38766021.

Do not operate cleaner without both

the secondary and final filter in place.

Cleaning secondary

filter

outlet.

The secondary filter (A), located

behind the grill in the bottom of bag

compartment, protects the motor from

dirt particles.

If filter becomes dirty, pull off grill and lift

out filter.

Hand wash filter in cold water with mild

detergent, then air dry.

Reposition dry filter and grill.
